Lonely in Dubai
June 25, 2008
Lonely in Dubai as a single cloud in the blue sky? Lonely in Dubai because you have no companion, girlfriend or a friend to share your petty day today heartaches? Don’t worry, you are not ALONE in your loneliness in this lonely city.
Super cities are not designed for soulful people. They are for money making, honking, well dressed and well made up, men & women. A city is where buildings block the beauty of sunrise and hoardings block the redness of sunsets. It is where, a human being loses his heart to become something that worries always about traffic jams and possible rent rise. It is where you realize that, you have only you to rely on.
I have met guys who have not met their wives for 5-6 years. People who know only their colleagues as friends, for all their lives. Sad people in Armani suits. Lonely people driving Lamborghinis.
So in Dubai, if you don’t want to be lonely, grow a plant in your balcony. Bring home an aquarium with a tortoise or a gold fish. Buy a puppy. Believe me, it’s all you can do. Please know by now that you can’t really kill your loneliness on Thursdays by shopping or eating out.
Please know by now that you only have you, in this heart break city.

People do not meet Mr.Floyd. Even if they meet, they just want to remain as faceless crowd and go their own ways.

I am just moving to Dubai after having lived in London and Hong Kong for the last 20 years. Rather concerned to see above messages, though don’t quite believe. There have to be places to meet nice genuine friends for good time and to share the good times. Will appreciate advice. BTW I am a Male in my 40s.

How goes it for you now, Sam? You know this international life, is Dubai any different? I’m just here for two years, half way through and am looking to move elsewhere in the world, if I can’t go home to NYC. I find it very, very lonely here, even with genuinely friendly, fun, and thoughtful colleagues.
