    It's being propped up by Abu Dhabi, but you're right, Dubai is a bit hollow from the inside.

    Too many foreign companies have invested in Dubai for it to fail outright, but the Dubai authorities just got into a habit of over indulging - the biggest mall, the fastest metro, the tallest tower, the biggest theme park, the world's most expensive hotels. ambitious development projects etc.

    As we all know gloss and no substance is like building a house out of cards.

    The winds change direction and it all comes tumbling down.

                            I am sleepy.
                            Even Adobe Photoshop can't change me.

                            A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai

                            For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."


                            The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!

                            -Ferishta, 1560–1620
