🦇 Sleepless in Dubai Book Review 🦇
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐
❝ “Be the light. No matter how much our flame dims over the year, this is a time for renewal. Don’t let the negative energy keep you in the dark. Bring your flame back to life, let it roar, and be brighter than ever." ❞
❓ #QOTD What's your favorite Middle Eastern or Indian food? OR What's your favorite holiday? ❓ 🦇 High school senior Nikki is ready to celebrate Diwali in style—not at home, but during a five-day trip to Dubai! There's only one hitch: her childhood friend and neighbor, Yash, is coming with his family. After a fight at the beginning of the summer, they've been estranged. To celebrate the true meaning of Diwali (and earn back her parents' trust), can Nikki let go of her dark resentment to let light and forgiveness in?
[ Find my review below or on Goodreads | Literal | Storygraph ]
💜 The bookish bats who know me are aware that a) I'm Middle Eastern and b) I love books by South Asian authors that make you salivate because of all the delicious food. The moment Nikki mentioned Arabic coffee, I was like, "This is my girl." I've had the fortune of traveling to Dubai before and can attest to its stunning sights, so I connected with the story right away. Yash is adorable, Nikki's little sister is a freaking HOOT (I have three younger sisters, so I felt Nikki's mixed frustration/amusement). Reading this book was an adventure through Dubai without the long, exhausting flight. Getting to celebrate Diwali with Nikki through the food and customs was an absolute delight.
🦇 Unfortunately, Nikki is a difficult character to love from the start. While this is listed as YA (Nikki is about to start her senior year of high school), she's stubborn, childish, and a bit of a crybaby. She reminded me a little bit of Usagi from Sailor Moon. Her stubbornness toward Yash doesn't relent for most of the story, and since there's technically a third-act breakup, it takes a long time for her character development to really come into effect. Nikki's voice is off at times, too; the random "Bros" and ending her thoughts with exclamation points only make her seem younger (even though she wants her parents to recognize her maturity). Though the vacation only spans five days, the story drags at times, too. The biggest issue for me was the predictability; from the first chapter, anyone YA reader can guess every plot point moving forward. While the rich culture of Dubai dazzles and lives up to the real-world splendor, the rest of the story fell flat for me.
🦇 Recommended to fans of YA, books with TONS of delicious food worth salivating over, and friends-to-lovers stories with plenty of angst.
✨ The Vibes ✨ 🌴 Young Adult 🇦🇪 Travel / Foreign Food 🎇 Friends to Enemies to Friends to Lovers 🪔 Diwali Celebration 💞 Rom-Com
🦇 Major thanks to the author @sajnipatelbooks and publisher @abramskids / @piquebeyond for providing an ARC of this book via Netgalley. 🥰 This does not affect my opinion regarding the book. #SleeplessinDubai #Netgalley

As someone who lives in Dubai i wish government workers consist of more people who weren’t part of the Al Maktoum family none of them are qualified I understand they are the ruling family but as far as other affairs I wish they didn’t just make family members head of them and actually people who went to school. Tbh Latifa #1 is qualified as head of art & culture b/c she went to school and got a degree in that Maktoum as well b/c he hold a business degree but it’s frustrating to see people who went to a military school in England be head of marketing when actually people who have a degree can never be head they will hire them (low level board roles) but all the upper level board work is just for theme family. I would say Maktoum has done some effort in leveling out the playing field but I think his father and brother (fazza) are restricting him and Latifa hired all her childhood family friends… even Dubai space is just a joke if they would get away with being called astronauts they would…. Im fortune enough to be leaving Dubai and moving to America but tbh unless you have a Sheikh or sheikha title professionally in a government role you would have a intern level role even when you have a masters or doctorate degree… no growth at all and as much as they make it seem like it’s progressive it’s not especially for women
Girl!!!! Pump those brakes on coming to America. You do not want to come into this hot mess.
Seriously. Trust me on this one. The US is collapsing from the inside out. A tower moment, if you will. That Pluto return is kicking in this year. It will only get worse. I actually see the US breaking up and dividing.
The world is about ready to see a massive exodus from the US starting next year. Like people fleeing for their lives. Even I’m looking into getting a dual citizenship from Germany, thanks to my great grandparents. The fact I’m now a second-class citizen and might get shot just going to the grocery store. 🥴
I’ll take the family holding government positions over this embarrassment of a country. 😮‍💨

Hey, I've been AWOL. I'm currently on placement two and a lot has happened. The PGCE is going well even though the first placement was not easy it was my fault and has let me develop a lot. although I'm still finding it difficult to wake up on time and get to school early. I'm currently rotting Royas brain and making her chill and watch a YouTube video on mice that she needs to keep an eye on. She was enjoying it until she started biting my phone and I disturbed her. It's currently Ramadan and it is been good as well as stressful. Since we have been back from Umrah a lot has gone on. We've been mourning and there isn't a day where I don't think about Bubu's death and honestly, I think about it every day. I miss her and regret not keeping in touch as much as I should of and even cherishing the time we had as selfish enough I thought we would all be growing old together and we would all bring our children up being best friends. we can still do that but a piece is missing. It also makes me think about life and death more, and how easily life can be taken away. I'm always deep in thought and usually lie awake at night thinking Allah could take me any time and I should live each day but who's to know. Life, we only have one chance at it. I'm currently watching Gone Girl because I've actually never seen a Ben Aflek movie and I probably should as he's JLO's man. So far it's okay, his wife has gone missing and she's an author or writer or something. I'm going to finish this degree soon and I can't wait. there's so much paperwork to do with all of this and it's hard to keep up. I have an essay as well it's not done yet, but I'm just hoping it doesn't count toward our final grade. After the easter break, I have my formal observation with L and B and I am really nervous but I just need to crack down on the behavior of the class and the content that I'm teaching. just need to remember some simple things like don't talk until the class is quiet and all that kinda stuff so it's easy but I'm sure when someone is watching me it is more nerve-wracking. the last Geography lesson I did there was about 3 teachers in the classroom and I was so nervous but at the end of the lesson R said the lesson went really well so I was happy, she even said it in front of the head teacher but I doubt ill get a job there. I have been applying to some abroad like Abu Dhabi and Dubai but I need to take a professional picture soon so I can upload it onto my CV. unfortunately, I have been super ugly lately but I'm going to speak to the hairdresser tomorrow, my hair is still short but it's growing. really slowly though, I'm thinking of going back to orange or brown, I do not want to go back to black hair, it is too hard to change and dye over. We'll see, I'm kinda over this color now, I always feel like it doesn't compliment me and then a few months down the line, I'm going to look back on my pictures and then regret it. Look at me talking about stupid irrelevant shit that doesn't matter if I'm a good person or not, just superficial but i guess if I don't look good I don't feel good, but even when I do look good I still don't feel good. I don't know why I'm feeling so low and insecure lately. I and T have been hitting the gym but with everything going on its been really difficult as iftar is at 6 and that's when T gets to the gym. After Eid I'm sure everything will be back to normal.

One key component of visitor management systems is the registration process. By requiring visitors to provide their identification details, such as name, contact information, and purpose of visit, schools can maintain a comprehensive record of individuals present on their premises. This data serves as an important resource for security personnel and administration, allowing them to swiftly address any concerns pertaining to potential threats or emergencies.
b. Identification Verification:
Visitor management systems further enhance security by incorporating identification verification mechanisms. These mechanisms can include using government-issued identification cards, driver's licenses, or even biometric authentication methods. By validating the identity of each visitor, schools can prevent unauthorized individuals from entering the premises, significantly reducing the risk of security breaches.
c. Check-in Processes:
The implementation of check-in processes within visitor management systems is an effective measure to control access within Middle East schools. By requiring visitors to undergo a check-in process, schools can ensure that every individual entering the premises is accounted for. This process may involve badge issuance, visitor passes, or electronic sign-ins, providing a clear indication of who is present within the school at any given time.

The Beginning of a Story ♡
The day was November 2021 when my mother pulled me back to my dream. Ok that being a cabin crew was never my plan A or B or C… it was neither my plan, first of all.
I used to hate aviation since my mother is also a cabin crew when was never at home. As a child, I used to see aviation as a truly villain, but me and all the cabin crew had a common dream: know the world. I even tried to achieve it walking another road, starting the law school, but I was unhappy and lost. So, the pandemic days…
My mother was on the balcony’s table when she said: “why don’t you apply to Emirates and become cabin crew?”. For a moment, I stopped and thought: “why not?”. As I said, it wasn’t even a plan, but I was not that little girl anymore who blamed aviation for everything. That moment was the moment I realized that I was lost all this time, and just now I was back home. 
Home… that’s what aviation means to me. Just like all the kids who hate their home, but grow up.
On that day, I sat at my bedroom table and started to search about the career of Cabin Crew. And the more I read, more I was enchanted with the profession and realized that I was blind all this time. The Instagram showed me the airplanes and the flight attendants. But I was still a little bit worried, since I felt the same feeling before when I tried to apply to Navy and started my Law School. So I closed my eyes and said out loud to God that, if it was my destiny, to never pull out this flame inside of me. And He kept his promise…
Because of the COVID-19, I couldn’t keep the university and neither the internship, so I knew I had to look for some job. I tried first in a drugstore, where I stayed only for 3 days. Then, my mother’s friend tried to help me offering me a job at her friend’s Law Firm. After my first month, I found a paper on my things about a Flight Attendant Course, and again, my mother said “why don’t you try?”. That was funny because it was on a Friday and the class started on the past Saturday, so it was very quickly. And just like I wasn’t afraid about nothing, I took the bus and went to start a new chapter in my life. In my head, that would be good because, while I was preparing to Emirates, I would have opportunities in my country with the Brazilian Airlines, that asked the course, but the time showed me more than I was looking for. During the Course, I learned more about the profession’s history and also what is the profession of Flight Attendant. But that wasn’t all… I also fell in love with the airplanes and how it works. I was delighted about what was the aviation.
The funniest thing was that when I was a child, my favorite movie was “View From The Top”, that talks about a woman who had a dream to know the world and fell in love with aviation. After all, I just realized that my destiny was aviation all this time. Since my mother is a Flight Attendant and my father a Airline Captain, I lived so many moments with aviation just like traveling to somewhere, knowing the crew and the cockpit, seeing a takeoff at real and enjoying the way to the airport everytime I had a chance to join, don’t matter if it was on a National or International one.
During my course, I had the chance to apply to Emirates. On August 28th, 2022, I did my Screening Day that was applied by Flight Right and got a positive response. I remember that I felt ready to pack my bags and move to Dubai, because I was so confident that the second stage would be better. Every airplane passing by was a tear rolling down on my face, and I knew more than anything that it was my destiny. But when the day came, and the second stage started, I got my “No” and my world has collapsed. The feeling I felt that moment was like taking my heart out of my chest and crashing it with hands.
But God never let me give up. After that day I was taking a shower and looked through the window, so I closed my eyes and asked for a sign if that was really meant to be mine. Almost instantly my cousin screamed: “look! An airplane!”. I started to cry while I was listening the sound of the airplane, and told myself that I would never doubt again.
On January 5th, 2023, I took a bus that took me to Sao Paulo to apply again to Emirates Assessment Day, but not that confident anymore. Again, I had a “no” response and went back home, but this time, with a smile on my face. I knew that it was not my fault, so all I had to do was keep studying and improving my CV, so in the right moment, they would choose me too.
A week before I applied to Etihad, that was all an online application. Also, I applied to Airport Auxiliary in my hometown airport, at the same airline my mother started as cabin crew. That was one of the most incredible and unreal moments of my life. Plus I received an offer to work as English Teacher, and that was so unreal then everything. Thanks to this, I lived so memorable moments that I would pay to live them again, and I don’t know why but, different from what I imagined, that was far from being the best thing ever.
The day was July 20th, 2023, when I received the positive response from Etihad Airways and started my journey as Etihad Cabin Crew.
