Blame it on the Rain Why Dontcha?!?

So much for a little rain in Dubai.

The weather is beautiful, and the rain is in no way abnormal..

But as per Gulf News. “Heavy rains have played havoc on the roads causing flooding on major roads and leading to traffic jams especially in Sharjah”

As if the roads are perfectly laid out to even handle seasonal rains. Two years back the rains broke the Emirates road in many places. Emirates road is the lifeline of commuters who live in the northern emirates and commute to and fro to Dubai to pay for the apartments they can barely afford with their incomes. Which by the way they only use for sleeping. And today again the road is closed for commuters, so people are anticipating 4-5 hours in traffic jams just to catch a shut eye for a couple of hours and come back to work in the morning.. *shaking head in disappointment*

I cannot help feel a little guilty while enjoying the pure air and admiring the beauty of the rain that leaves everything washed and renewed.

So much for a little rain in Dubai.
