Dubai series 2
I still remember one taxi ride from my early Dubai days.
I was on the way to an interview nervous, overthinking every possible question in my head, trying to act confident even though I had no idea what life here was going to become.
The taxi driver casually started a conversation.
“First interview?”
“New to Dubai?”
“What do you want to become?”
Somewhere during the ride, I told him I had come here for studies and was trying to build a life slowly.
He smiled and spent the rest of the ride motivating me like he had known me for years.
Before I got down, he said:
“Don’t worry. One day you’ll do well here.”
Such a small moment.
Such a random person.
But somehow I still remember it after all these years.
In the last 8 years, I probably haven’t even stepped into a taxi. Life moved fast. Positions changed. Responsibilities changed.
But sometimes I think about how strangers in Dubai quietly become part of your journey without even realizing it.
This city can feel lonely sometimes… but it also has people who leave warmth in your memories forever. 🤍
