Winter this season is not as cold as it usually is in Dubai and yet it is such a pleasant time to be in. But everything else seems to be really cold or 'thanda' as we call it in India. The Shopping Fest is thanda, the sales are thanda, the decor is thanda, the fanfare is thanda, global village is thanda, the festivities are thanda.
The sales staff are thanda in their attitude towards us, [they assume we come to kill time and like everyone else we not going to buy either] and the warmth that made this city hospitable seems to have disappeared overnight.
I think its time for Coke to change their tagline. Thanda matlab Coca Cola is no longer a "cool" slogan.
