50 SALUTES TO 50 GLORIOUS YEARS OF UAE

A country is home when you find your inner peace in it. That has just been the way I have enjoyed my 30 years in this beautiful nation. I consider myself privileged to have seen the transformation & disruption this country has created over the decades.

Can you imagine a country with only sand as its main natural resource to be transformed in a quarter of century. Yes that was just done when you look how Dubai’ Sheikh Zayed Road is comparable to New York’s Manhattan! A small nation in comparative landmass or population but big enough to claim a nearly 100% vaccine rate for the whole population.

Disruption has been key to the growth of this country. The ruling family’s vision has only evolved over the years, be it from Oil Fields setup in 1981 or the creation of the Palm islands in early 2000s.

Fifty years might have been a vision to achieve but were definitely on a mission to do so. UAE has been able to emulate the fact that in the race to excellence there is no finish line!
