They estimate the total cost of living on the following Rent, Food and Transport only, but in real there are numerous other expenses also involved when it comes to living here.

Manchester United : Premier League Season Review 2016/17

Image
Premier League 2015/16 did not end well for us as we ended up 5th in the table and dropped to Europa League qualification stage.  The only good thing in the end was FA Cup win which was a bit of a morale booster but Louis Van Gaal could not save his job. The season 2016/17 started on a very good note;  4 good signings in our key areas: 1) Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Player of the Year 2016 - Ligue 1) 2) Paul Pogba (Midfielder of the Year 2016 - Serie A) 3) Henrikh Mkhitaryan (Midfielder of the Year 2016 - Bundesliga) 4) Eric Baily (CAF Team of the Year 2016 - Africa) Jose Mourinho started off the campaign by Winning Community Shield against last year's Premier League Champion Liecester City.  The good spirit continued in the first month as we won the first three games in Premier League. The winning streak came to an end when  we lost to Manchester City at Old Trafford and then a back to back defeat against Watford away from home. The worst game for United was aw

Image
The one with most goals for the club and the country, the one who scored THAT bicycle kick goal in Manchester Derby, arguably the most successful English player of our Era ....he goes by the name Wayne Rooney ! Wayne Rooney signed for Manchester United from boyhood club Everton for the record signing of £25.6 million in August 2004. It was the highest fee ever paid for a player under 20 years old at that time and the rest as they call is history. Rise of a superstar Rooney announced his arrival in the most blockbuster way, scoring a Hattrick (and providing an assist to Bellion) at Old Trafford on his debut that too in a champions league match.  These goals made Rooney the youngest player to score a hat-trick in the Champions League.

Welcome to  United Arab of Emirates , the land of opportunities !  Each day more than 2000 people arrive in UAE for job hunting and lets say the job you are looking for is being searched by only 10% of those then it means you would be competing against 200 people for the same job .  I get a lot of queries about how to find a Job in UAE.

Trip to Nepal - The Land of Himalyas

Image
Last year I read an article on Forbes.com:  The Secret to Happiness? Spend money on experiences , not things ! . I realized  this totally endorses my idea of joy, as I am a firm believer of creating memories through memorable experiences and unforgettable events.  I feel, that traveling is definitely one kind of experience that lets you come closer to nature and helps find your inner strength in various ways.  “Travel brings power and love back into your life.”  ― Jalaluddin Rumi And I couldn’t agree more with Rumi. Talking of traveling and memorable experiences, recently, I visited Nepal for a short trip. And as promised in my earlier blog: Dubai - As I saw it! , I am back with a new post. This time it’s  about my trip to Nepal.  Travelling to Nepal Nepal's visa is on Arrival and its free of Charge . It is also one of the few countries that allow Pakistanis without visa.  To get your visa, all you have to do is use the computerized Kiosks at the Ka

DUBAI - As I saw it ! Burj Khalifa A lot of friends asked me about my experience related to United Arab Emirates and some of my friends also asked for an estimated budget for a small visit to Dubai. So I decided to write about it so that my friends and other people could benefit from it.

You can opt for that or you may search it yourself online through  Air Arabia,  Fly Dubai etc. for various discount offers.  TIP: If you have a friend/relative in Dubai ask them to look for offers/discount deals because a lot of credit/debit cards offer 5% to 1
