Hungry in the City of Gold

Growing up in Dubai teaches you one thing early money talks but character whispers louder.

I watched kids my age get dropped off in Lamborghinis while I took the bus.

They had designer everything while I wore the same pair of sneakers for two years.

But here is what nobody tells you about Dubai life. The city is a mirror. It reflects exactly

what you bring to it. Some kids saw their parents wealth and thought they were

entitled to the world. They never built anything themselves. Just lived off a

legacy they did not create. Then there were kids like me who saw the skyscrapers

and asked ourselves how do we build something that tall. Dubai does not care about your excuses.
