Dev's Big-Ass Car

This "big-ass" Land Rover Discovery 3 is Dev's baby, next to his wife, of course. A couple of weeks ago, this LR3 met with an accident due to carelessness while parking in the basement of our apartment building. Well, it wasn't carelessness-Dev said he didn't know about the air-condition duct hanging low with jutting screws at that particular spot just next to the entrance to the building from the basement. As he was reversing into the parking spot, we heard a thud, and immediately we knew the car was damaged to a certain extend.

Dev climbed up and saw the damage which one of the screws had caused-a deep scratch on the body and a shattered sunroof! And you guessed it right, Dev's heart had shattered, too. It took us several days running between the police station and the insurance company, and finally the sunroof is fixed and the car polished.

Somewhere beyond the sea

Our Canadian friends Judy and Glen who live in the same building as we do recently invited us for a BBQ dinner on their boat. It was an awesome evening as we cruised at the Abu Dhabi Corniche at sunset. We would have gone out further into the sea if not for the rough waters. Nonetheless, the good company, excellent view and great BBQ food made the evening wonderful.
