The light industrial area of Umm R a m o o l l i e s b e t w e e n D u b a i ’s i c o n i c DX B Te r m i n a l 3 , a n d I K E A’s d e e p b l u e and yellow symbol of value furniture retailing, yet this area of Dubai is far closer to the East than the West. Eyes closed, and listening to the sounds, it is easy to imagine that you’re standing in Delhi, Mumbai or even Lahore. This is the home of the Sunshine Garage, which is nestled between a workers restaurant and another garage. There is a quiet team of young men, mostly from Pakistan, but some from India. They industriously service and repair. One can’t help noticing that there is a bond between this group of men, all far away from home, all from d i ff e r e n t p l a c e s , a k i n d o f E a s t e r n Band of Brothers. Christopher is a post graduate student studying at The University of Gloucestershire.
