Family or Money???

My first day in Dubai has invoked a mixed feeling in me. Firstly, yes I see that there is soo much of money which has been spent by the government for infrastructure, unlike in India where I guess we would never get to see infrastructure like this atleast in our lifetime. Then cars, you name them and you would find them here. But this is irrelevant to the subject I mentioned... But hell just couldn't stop writing about what I saw...

Towards the evening when I went over to Sharjha (which is 20-60 mins from Dubai and has muslim country rules) and I was accompanying my hosts here in Dubai for an appointment with the doctor. I decided i would skip the appointment and walk around the place and came across this place where loads of people from different countries, mostly India & Pakistan, wherein they stand in group either based on State wise or country wise. It was very mixed a feeling to see people who have sacrified everything, like their family, native, friends & relatives, to make that money and send it across to them so that they can live a decent life. But how many of them live here in decent accomodations??????? most of them stay in cramped places with 4 to 8 people staying in one single room and all for some money?????

What makes me ponder is "Is this all worth it???????"
