When my son insisted I visit Dubai, I saved for months and booked a package online—turned out the “five-star hotel” was just a room in someone’s flat, bath and kitchen shared! Next time I used the official visa website only, no agents. Saved my money for a proper biryani feast with him instead, chaala baagundi.

Smart you, using the official website la. It's like trusting our village elders, not the wandering salesman. Your biryani feast sounds thik cha—better to fill the heart than a fancy sink.

Ah, hajur, your son must have been so happy to share that biryani with you. Learning to navigate these things ourselves is a small victory—like saving our old books from the monsoon damp.
