The Tamil community (an ethnic group from the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu) is a burgeoning one in the UAE. This could be seen by Etisalat's off peak call rates to Tamil Nadu announced on the Tamil New Year day on April 14. Tamil Sandhai is a niche supermarket catering entirely to the Tamil community in the UAE.

[BIZ CARD] Gerald - Finance House, Dubai

In the Dubai world of bank eats bank credit card offers, here's a new one on the scene with a better interest rate and hopefully better deals and service since they are new. I got in touch with Gerald for balance transfers on cards from big banks with killing interest rates. Finance House's low interest rates will keep my head above choppy credit waters for awhile.

Emirates Today Weekly Photo Contest -Dhs.3,000/- worth of prizes

I know a friend who has splurged more than Dhs.6,000/- on a Nikon Digital SLR and accessories. He has already upgraded his camera once and still intends to get more powerful Nikon versions. He calls his obsession - NAS - Nikon Acquisition Syndrome, a term coined by Nikon enthusiasts.

Well, this weekly Emirates Today competition could be a way to get a return on his investment.

A tip: One doesnt have to spend a fortune..for as little as Dhs.250/- to Dhs.500/- one can get 6 megapixels and above digital cameras of the Touchmate, Yashica variety and they serve the purpose beautifully too! My friend has found the daylight picture quality of my Dhs.250/- Touchmate 6MP digital camera to be the same as his Dhs.6,000 Nikon. So go ahead, if you have the interest and inclination for photography...you dont have to let it hurt your pockets!

A treat for Book lovers! - Abu Dhabi International Book Fair

The annual Abu Dhabi Book Exhibtion is on and should be a treat to book lovers as well as those looking to picking up some useful titles. Though the ad below says the fair is until April 7th, a related article that I read in today's (3rd April 2007) Emirates Today states that the fair will be till April 13th...could have been extended due to the response and demand.

I remember attending my first Abu Dhabi Book Fair in 1999 at the Cultural Foundation when starting out a career in web content development...I picked up an O'Reily book - Web Navigation .
