Falguni Peacock, fashion designer

nIn our line of work, Shane and I can’t take extended vacations and can only take three to four days off at a time. The one place, though, that I love visiting is Dubai as it’s so happening.

We’re so used to the hustle and bustle of Mumbai that we can’t go to a quiet place. Unlike London, where we get involved in work and which is too cold in winter, Dubai is ideal as it has some great shopping, and nightlife. Also, it’s just two hours away. We go there almost every six months. But I stay away during the shopping festival since it’s so crowded and you feel you’re getting a good deal but you’re actually not. As for the nightlife, there’s a new Buddha bar that we frequent besides the other well-known ones. November-December is a good time to visit.
