This is the office where i'm working currently. I'm sitting on 7th floor, right 2 floors above the "Welcome to the UAE - Dubai" floor.

And the photo which is hanging to our building is of the current ruler of Dubai.

Here every where you will see their photos, just like Gandhi, Nehru, bla.. bla.. people...



Guys... forgot to mention about the freebies at the finish point. There is a big van that distributing the fruits and a van of icecreams.. i took 2 ice creams

Along with the fruits and ice cream, you also see the certificate given by the charity foundation, to every one. I too have collected one, but dont know what to do with that. Let's see how and where this will be useful.


Santhosh, look man.... how are you in this picture.. and how are you in the previous one..

You look bad in the previous one.. keep smiling man.. no one wants you to be Arnold..


After coming back from the run, in room, while transferring the images from Santhosh's camera to Shadab's laptop. The laptop on which i'm working belongs to Krishnaiah. I've transferred the images took with my Mobile to his laptop. Santhosh, you are really looking like a villan yar... pl change the mood... he is in good mood in the next picture.

You can view them on my rediffblog, though they are not as large as these images.. but they are moderatly good.

Arun took these pictures. Arun, Thanks man..



This is another ice tea bottle from AriZona... this bottle is made out of Plastic and the other one is out of Glass..


Adi Narayana.. accidentally, i gave my Ice Tea bottle to him.. then he started teasing me with that..

Adi, it is a good pose... give me my bottle pl...


In a closer look... taken by Chatarjee...

But the main line for this picture is... behind us there are few beatiful ladies are relaxing... Chatarjee wanted to have a look at them.. he started taking our pic and then slowly took their picture too..

Chatarjee.. pl share that picture with us too..



Team relaxing after the run.. having some food.. meanwhile chatarjee saw a philipian guys... and started teasing them...

One among them took this pic..


From our entire office, it seems we only 4 have joined the run. From these guys, Chattarjee and Adi Narayana(with spects) are from andhra and the other is Jasim(wearing white cap)..

Adi had a problem with his ankel during the walk, some how finished the walk slowly...


Slowly running all along the way... reached the final point... what you see behind me the Grand Hyatt hotel.. opp to this is the wonder land park.. couldn't take a pic as the trees are just like jungle ...

Some time during this week end we have a plan to visit that place.. let's see how it will work out..


From here if you take the right turn, you will lead you to Wifi City ... which is the second new big thing in Dubai... all these days, Dubai is only known for Tourism and shopping festivals... The IT industry is not that much big ... From the last couple of years, there is a radical change in the rulers and they are also started adopting the technology in their every walk of life...




This is where we took the U turn for the 7Km run.. and as i mentioned before, kids are on bicycles.. skate boards.. some are walking along with their parents...

You wont belive if i mention that the gentle man who took this picture .. is triple to my size... but he still finished the run ..



On the mid way, AriZona, distributing Iced Tea for all the runners... grabbed one for a quick gulp... tastes great as long as it is chilled... but once it lots the coldness ....yaaaaaaaack... not that much good...

anyhow, till i come here the only iced tea i know is Nestle Ice tea in India.. but this is faaaaaaar better than that...




You see kids in the run.. some are on their parents shoulders... some on walk.. some on skate boards.. some on rolers..

it's really great to see kids participate at this age... all the credit goes to the parents..

I hardly remember when i'm as a kid... except for some movies along with parents.


Apart of running, every one has freedom to do what ever they are comfort on... some of the indian kids on their bicycles..

Kids: Good work, you are the barriers of Indian flag.. never fall down or let the flag down.. keep up, we are proud of you.




The pets are also in the part of the run... in the first image you see a dog with out neck band and roaming with the runners with out any hesitation...

Second image... don't see the girls there... just see ME and the Dogs... How am i look like... another pet dog? ooooooooooooooooooops...




On the mid way the run you see a board which takes you to the Children's city.. exculsively for children.. all sorts of games are in place for them

Had to go there one day to see what is so special about that..



Before the begun of the run.

These are the creek side pictures on the way to Grand Hyatt hotel, the start and finish point of the run


This is called as "ABRA".. means unloading ... All the food grains and material from India and Pakistan will be unloaded here and from here the local vendors buy them on every day auction...




The right side building belongs to the local communication provider, Ethisalath.

The only provider in and around Dubai, so expensive for ISD but local is mostly free...

The left picture is Dubai's Nataional Bank. These pictures are taken on the way to Grand Hyatt Hotel..


I'm going to wear this T-Shirt and going to clip this token on to that... we get this tshirt when you donate for this charity... i gave 20 AED


It's time to roll our hands... shall we get into business... This is at Arm's length... How is it?

Before going to run, just watching the movie FACEOFF.. this is the TV & DVD Player in our room and we see often movies... all hindi, english... blah.. blah...

Ready for the run on 27th Jan 2006 at Dubai... 25th Year of Terryfox Run at Dubai. Before going, having my breakfast. Here comes the pics from the digi cam of Mr. Santhosh...
