Yes we have all had that feeling of experiencing an overwhelming day. And we have all procrastinated at some point or the other (if not, you have my respect!). What happens when one of THE most important meetings of your life coordinates with some urgent work that has to be done on that day and it is impossible to do them both because you can’t be in two places at the same time and there is no one who is free enough to help you out? What wouldn’t you give to have someone do your work without having to worry…

Dubizzle is like the national app of the UAE. Every time you ask someone about renting a house, buying furniture, job-hunting, selling your used items, or hiring someone for their services, the first word that comes out of their mouth would be Dubizzle. Dubbizle’s success is so huge that it has become a household name. When a successful giant like invests in an app exclusively for fashion, it makes you feel all the more excited to try it out and spread the word doesn’t it. Presenting, Shedd. Named after the act of a snake shedding its skin, the founders believe…

It seems like the competition for the world’s tallest building is getting more intense. While the Burj Khalifa in Dubai holds this title in the present, it is all set to give it up to the Kingdom Tower, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. You may have heard of towers being X metre long but for the first time you can actually say that there is a vertical structure in the world that is about a kilometre tall and provides unobstructed and beautiful views of our world from high above (as high as it could). Ah, the marvels of modern architecture continue…

There is no doubt that the e-Commerce industry has changed our lives for the better. The very comfort of sitting at home, choosing what you want while you are in your personal space, the impatient wait that follows after you checkout the cart, and the sheer joy in seeing your order in 3D is something that is worth experiencing. And e-Commerce giants tap into this emotion very cleverly, enticing us with offers on a product that we wanted to buy but bailed out at the last minute and making it absolutely irresistible to refuse. Are you tempted to check out…

Many companies have become synonymous with the product or service they offer, so much so that people forget that it is a brand and think it is the product itself. For example, we don’t say let’s search about something online, we say let’s Google it. Going by that example, I think pretty soon all of us are going to be saying let’s Fetchr it rather than say let’s courier it. Because Fetchr is all set to revolutionize the act of sending or receiving packages. Imagine a standard parcel-receiving experience: You place your order, you impatiently wait for the sign to…

The debate of Android vs iOS is a never-ending one. The debate doesn’t end; it just adds more contesting features to itself. Going by that logic, the newest contender to decide if having an Android phone or an iPhone is better is the Smartwatch. The extent to which both operating systems support the Smartwatch to make lives easier is a key deciding factor on who is inching closer to the finish line. I personally am an iOS fan and I’m not against Android (yes we exist!) because I have used and loved both equally. When it comes to Smartwatches however,…

When I was little, I used to watch a TV show where the lead character, a small boy, had a magic pencil. Whatever he drew using that pencil, came to life! So, if he wanted a new pair of shoes, all he had to do was draw them on a piece of paper and voila! A new pair of shoes just like he wanted. Now, imagine a pen that does something similar but nothing short of amazing. 3D printing pens are converting fantasy into reality with the help of super awesome technology and some skill from your end. Just insert…

In the search of topics to write about something (read anything related) for our blog, I realized something. At this age of technology boom, there are an almost infinite number of topics for us to peruse on the internet. I was looking for something about latest trends in design and technology and I was bombarded with so much information that it made it hard to go to one website, read an article and absorb it. To make matters worse, the ‘other topics you may be interested in’ bar keeps popping up, distracting me from what I actually wanted to know about.…

Being an avid travel enthusiast there is nothing more I would love to do than to travel the world and soak in the importance of places that are dear to the place that I am in. And right now, the place that I am in is Dubai: one of the most exciting and happening cities in the world. A mention of the city Dubai invokes many feelings: the heat, the high-rise buildings, gold, shopping, the desert, and most importantly (spoiler alert!) the Burj Khalifa. Tired of feeling stereotypical? Then show off your knowledge with these awesome places in the UAE…
