I came to Dubai from Chicago on February 22 for official meetings that lasted four days. On February 28, around 6.30 in the morning, I checked out of my hotel, Intercontinental Marina, and took a cab to Dubai airport. I was even planning to come to India later this year to meet my childhood friendsin Raiganj. Our flight route from Dubai to Chicago was supposed to pass over Iraq, Iran and Turkey. I contacted my company’s corporate security team, and they arranged a room for me at the JW Marriott Hotel in Dubai.
