Dead by Day, Alive by Night. They are out, just to breath. Sitting in the corner, just to see.

In a not so alternative world, Innocence is turning bloody. What seems like a game can be a horrific reality. Are you safe?

I have seen the leap of faiths
I have seen the empires fall
I have seen the passage of time
I have seen mans disgrace

I have been the charging light
I have been the flying kite
I have been on the guiding path
I have been the distant sight

I am the Dark Horse
Who scares many a fright
I lead the rider away
On courses of glory & might

At the center of the cosmopolitan city of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, lies a town where people live on their hopes they sleep, eat and hide there. They work in the world’s most grandeur city Dubai. They work as labors building the world largest and most astonishing monuments and buildings. Their lowly wages are unpaid for more than 12 months. They can hardly afford 2 decent meals a day but they are still supporting their families back in there own country. They are forced to live on terraces thanks to the rising cost of living. They are scared that any moment they can end up in Jail if caught by the local police. There only hope is in God, who is somehow keeping them sustained. The open skies and stars tell them maybe someday things would change for the better. Until death comes, it’s a good fight that you have to struggle with. It’s the survival of the not so fittest. Welcome to Khuda ki Basti, the town of god.

We were out for a walk to return the DVDs we had rented. We decided to have dinner at Alakapuri Restaurant which just across the road. I had always imagined this restaurant as any other common local neighborhood outlets, which provided just basic dishes, best for takeouts. We ordered some Butter & Cheese Nans along with the Reshmi Kebabs. To my surprise not only were the dishes delicious but were presented with finesse. I just couldn’t have enough of the Cheese Nans. They are still watering my mouth to say the least. We had a great time dining out at Alakapuri and are looking forward to visit it soon again.
