It is impossible to know whether this post at Al-Emirati.com on the victims of the recent Air India disaster is intended to be some appalling attempt at humour or satire, but by every single measure it is absolutely beyond the pale:
Not really. Not only do I not care if the victims "rest in peace" but it seems to me that they are, rather, resting in pieces!
I am of course talking about flight IX 812 from Dubai to Balglapour (or some other hell hole, they're all the same) that recently crashed (click here)
I know I know. Mean, blah blah. The way I see it is as follows. The UAE is (about) 50% Indians, Something that I, and 90% of all other Emaratis see as a bad thing.
This plane, carrying Indians who live and work here, means that 160 indians that clog up the roads, cause accidents, fail code inspections at Indian restaurants, speak like this guy, and are a general drag on the security of the UAE, wont be coming back. That is a very GOOD thing!
I can only pray that this happens every week!
Sadly, we'll probably have 160 new VISAs for 160 new Indians issued in 3 hours... And the authority in charge of this will flaunt that, as if it's a good thing.
Mocking the victims of a plane crash disaster on the grounds of their race and glorying in their tragic deaths is simply inhumane.
In fact, it is evil.

Dubai’s brunches are stuff of legend, and if you’re looking to mix up your Friday feasting plans, Renaissance Downtown Hotel, Dubai has got you covered with two brilliant brunch options that cater to all tastes.
At Morimoto, Dubai, Japanese foodie fans can sink their chopsticks into a celebration of top quality food and drink at the self-titled restaurant by acclaimed chef Masaharu Morimoto.
The brunch kicks off at 12.30pm where pre-drinks are served up to a lively and eclectic mix of house beats before making their way to their table to tuck into some top quality Japanese dishes. It’s a mix of dishes served to the table as well as live cooking stations where you can help yourself from the open kitchen and an unlimited sushi bar.
It’s all served up to free flowing drinks such as zodiac cocktails, house beverages and a selection of sake as well as Japanese-themed entertainment and live DJs.
For a more relaxed afternoon of fancy French farmhouse food, book a table at the Bleu Blanc Friday Brunch. Sit back and relax as you embark on a journey to the south of France through plate after plate served at your table.
Dishes designed to share such as charred tiger prawns, avocado & egg tartine, black angus brisket, roasted cauliflower and mac & cheese will all be brought to the table, served alongside an array of signature drinks, designed by internationally acclaimed bar guru Sam Ross.

A lively, loud party brunch that’s stood the test of time…
When We Brunch bust onto the party brunch scene in 2017, few brunches were delivering the tri-factor of good food, great music and a brilliant party atmosphere. The party brunch, brought to the city by Love Parties (the masterminds behind the city’s sellout brunches Hidden at Treehouse and The Stage) quickly packed out week in, week out.
Fast forward two years, and the competition have seriously upped their game, so what can We Brunch do to stand out in a sea of lively Friday feasts?
When we visit they’re celebrating their second birthday and the venue’s been completely kitted out with balloons and confetti. So, if you weren’t already in the mood to party, you should be now. A milkshake wall serves as the perfect backdrop for well-dressed guests to snap selfies, while a ball pit bath and donut wall are welcome touches that have been designed to be photographed.
The room quickly packs out with partygoers and while an indoor seat gets you closer to the buffet, on a nice day we’d pick a Marina view alfresco table every time.
Pop-up bars are great new additions that get guests on their feet, although table service is swift too, meaning drinks are rarely empty.
The food has also undergone an upgrade too, and now features a sushi and seafood station, salad bar and bread station before you make it to mains. It’s not the biggest selection you’ll see, but it ticks all the boxes for having a handful of Asian and Italian dishes alongside the star of the show – the roast spread. A live BBQ station is also a brilliant addition, with dishes cooked-to-order and delivered to the table.
We love the desserts – cute little pastries and mini desserts line up alongside an interactive ice cream bar and help yourself donut wall.
By the end of the brunch (which has been extended by an extra half hour recently), partygoers are on their feet, and birthday celebrations errupt around us as cupcakes and confetti are dished out to nearby tables.
Don’t miss out on the after party, that happens upstairs at Marina Social’s bar space. As well as offering a complimentary drink to We Brunch guests, anyone heading to the after party can enjoy five drinks for Dhs150.
