Meet Bhavna Vishnu. Young, trendy, with an eye for the<br />
good things in life, this Indian lady has recently relocated<br />
to Dubai from Oman where she has lived ‘practically<br />
all my life’, as she puts it. The fast and hectic pace of<br />
Dubai compared to the peaceful, easy-going life of Oman,<br />
initially, was very stark for this advertising professional<br />
who has been her chosen field right from the start of<br />
her career. Presently working with a leading publishing<br />
company in Dubai, she says that the advertising industry<br />
is very challenging and it stimulates her senses.<br />
Coming from the laid-back life in Oman, Bhavna did find<br />
the pace a bit too fast for her liking in the beginning, but<br />
the wonder therapy that Dubai offers in the form of an<br />
abundance of shopping malls did make life a lot more fun<br />
and adjusting a lot more easier. Easy to talk to, Bhavna<br />
