V. Pattabhi Ram Wafers was short-listed by her office for her first overseas trip. It was part of a rewards package for stellar performance during the last year and would include a week-long paid holiday to Dubai and Singapore. A year ago, when she had joined the KPO (knowledge process outsourcing) firm fresh after qualifying as a CA, Wafers hadn’t thought that life would be so great for her. Even the encyclopaedic China had grudgingly admitted that the pony-tailed lass had come a l ong way during the last 12 months.
Dubai airport
As she stepped out of the aircraft at the Dubai International Airport, she was completely taken by surprise at what she saw. Nothing, yes nothing, had really prepared her for the sight. Wow. It was a massive airport, spic and span and with walkathons for the lazy, golf-carts for those who couldn’t walk the distance, huge duty-free shops where you could gaze and gaze with little thought, and a sea of humanity.
