For those of a literary bent, I recommend an interesting site. Built by a former colleague of mine in Gulf News, Dubai, Anil Menon, - who was last reported to be in Bangkok, Thailand, "Realms of Gold" is a comprehensive reference 'library'. Authors, electronic text libraries, e-zines etc are listed alphabetically. The site has good educational and entertainment value.

The Malayalees/The Diaspora
In 1996, the UAE Government declared an 'amnesty' for illegal aliens. The amnesty stipulated they had to leave the country immediately. The most affected were people from the Indian subcontinent - a large number of them Malayalis.
Power to the Malayalee People - Making "Village Democracy" a major development mechanism.
