12 tips to people CRAWLING in Dubai (traffic)

Dubai’s TRAFFIC is as famous as TAJ MAHEL in India, The only difference between these two is TAJ MEHAL is mind blowing where as
DUBAI’S TRAFFIC is blowing mind, therefore I proudly present to you “10 tips to make your journey not only bearable but also entertaining”.

1.Car Dating: this is something I do much often call your boyfriend or girlfriend and spend hours talking to them on phone, major topic “you me and the TRAFFIC”.

2.Thinking: think about a very strong feeling or perhaps a memory or a person to whom you are really attached to. Ex. ones I was stuck up in traffic with my boyfriend, seeing me so exhausted, he closed the radio and seriously started singing an ad song which went something like this,
“doodh si safedi nirma se aaye, rangeen kapde bhi khil khil jaye, sabki pasand nirma Washing powder nirma,Washing powder nirma. Nirma”
(whiteness as milk brought to you by nirma, even the colored clothes will shine, every bodies choice nirma, washing power nirma, nirma.), well whenever I think about it brings a smile on my face, it brightens me up, therefore it works for me, let me know if it does for you too.

3.Planning: plan about something which really gets your mind. Ex. how are you going to surprise your guy on his birthday, or where are you going to spend your salary…….

4.Psycho therapy: keep on telling yourself just half an hour more just half an hour more, even though you are aware of the fact that it will take two hours or so. Keep on repeating in your head just a few kms more, just A few kms more. It will help you maintain your patience level.

5.2ND BEST FRIEND: carry with you a game boy or those car video games and have fun, on the other hand if you are not the game boy kind a person you can always take vegetables with you to cut at least that what my mummy does.

6.Observation: this is my favorite, just look around, see what other people are doing, (I guarantee you will enjoy this), ex. Yesterday when I was in my car in the same situation (traffic jam) I was going to karama from qusais, I saw this guy in his car he was making different weird funny face looking at the mirror, now that’s the sprit I said .

7.Singing\listening: this is something most of us will be good at, listen to music on radio or CDs and sing along, get yourself involved in the song; it might just do the trick.

8.Dancing: once you get into the music you will by your own start dancing, it always happens with me.

9.Eating/drink: get yourself some snacks (chip, biscuits, chocolate or if u don’t like eating much get yourself a drink). Then again if that doesn’t get your mood, get yourself a gum or a cigarette wont harm.

10.Grooming make-up/nail painting or perhaps hair styling: well, you can change the color of your nail paint or your lip color, a different hair style wont be such A bad idea either simply carry your make-up kit with you and that might just do the trick. That was for girls for guys a gel and a comb will do I guess.

11.TV watching: get a small TV in your car: get a TV attach to your car see your favorite sport channel or drama as you go along.

12.Last, but not the least if u cant tolerate the traffic anymore, don’t bother forcing yourself, simply park your car in the near by parking lots and go to. Ex. near by shopping mall, chill out have an ice cream or so or (if their is no parking available) or you are on a high way, stop your car on the near by bus stop or across the yellow line, on your hazard, and just relax until you find your energy back to carry on.
