– Rakshitsomani 

I used the services of Akbar Travels for applying Dubai Visa. The team was quick to respond and answer my queries. Once I provided all the documents the visa was provided to me the very next day. Usually it takes 3 to 5 working days so I was happy to receive the visa next day. In visa my Photo was incorrect so I contacted my agent Jay Surve and he immediately corrected the mistake. I would have given 5 stars if my  visa had correct photo provided by me but I am happy they resolved my query quickly.

Agent Name: Jay Surve

Akbar travels arranged the Maldives trip for us in Siyam World. Anas understood our requirements and arranged everything for us in the best way possible.

– Rosh thomas

Well co-ordinated, professional, and friendly service provider. I was handled by Mr. Saket and he helped me with every single checkpoint.

It was an incredible trip! I thank you & Neha for making it such a smooth experience for us! The stays were perfect at all places and the transfers were timely!

– Dilli Ganesh

Recently took my parents on a Singapore trip with them. The tour was smooth and enjoyable, thanks to staff member Saket who helped me with the tour itinerary and the visas. Since my parents and I were in different states, the visa applications werent exactly 100% smooth. But Saket was available always for any queries I had, and coordinated with their branches to get the visas done asap. Do inform them in advance if you require any changes in itinerary, as last minute changes might not be entertained by their travel partner in Singapore. And to be safe, apply for visa atleast 2 weeks before travel

– Nikhil Venugopal

– Rosh Thomas

Overall a good experience ! Special appreciation for Ghanshyam We got in touch with Akbar Holidays when we were planning our trip to Dubai in November and were looking to build our internal sightseeing plans with food, transport and also Visa. Ghanshyam was our point of contact from Akbar Holidays, one of his best qualities has been his responsiveness. He was prompt with the Package options, readily modified as per our requirements, and provided us the best package options. Visa processing was also very quick and hassle free with Akbar holidays. They also helped with basic points to note during the trip. Their on ground support at Dubai was absolutely appreciable (Monica ,Sana and Sahil) All the transport arrangements were on time right from airport pickup to drop on the last day. All tickets were provided in advance and there was a schedule presented day before with next day itenary, driver and car details.

Initially i would like to say that it…

Initially i would like to say that it was a mistake from my side to trust Akbar travels (Abu dhabi branch) to apply for UK standard visa. But, they should've told me that they don't have much experience for applying UK visa, instead they asked me to send the documents and proceeded with the application. Nobody has ever seen such a lengthy rejection letter i received from UK Embassy mentioning i didnt even submit the basic documents which i was supposed to submit during application. I was scared that i would be banned for my future travels. Luckly, i tried with another travel agency and got the visa very easily. Talking about customer service - Even though i know her name, its not right to mention such details in a public forum. 1. The agent told me that it was my mistake that i was not aware of the required documents which should've been submitted. 2. Agent told the UK Embassy did not inform them about such rules. They should know that the embassies don't call each agency to inform about the regulations. 3. Told me that this was not the first visa rejection they received from UK embassy, which they should've told me before applying so i could've gone for other options and might avoid losing my money. We all know that it's up to the embassy whether to accept or reject an application. But rejecting due to lack of some basic documents is a total negligence from the travel agent. Literally the embassy had no choice but reject our application due to this, and we came to know about this when we applied for the second time with another agency. Choose your agents carefully. Check their expertise, history and customer service before trusting them with your money. Hoping that this experience doesn't happen to someone else. -tom

It was a great experience with Akbar travels, Miss kamala and Mr. Omkar both helped us in getting affordable tickets for Ireland and moreover when our baggages were delayed from Paris to Dublin, they helped me a lot in tracing it and claiming the money from airlingus. So, I recommend Akbar travels to everyone.

Bad experience with Akbar travels .Abudhabi

We went a trip to Azerbaijan on our Christmas holidays and we are back yesterday, Akbar travels Abudhabi was our travel coordinator. we requested for guide and that included in our package but not provided only one day and at 11:00 hrs. They charge for the guide for all 4 days. Akbar travels Abudhabi was not responding in timely manner. Not given proper itinerary also. The hotels they booked were worst. Too much dusty, carpets are not clean, rooms are smelling badly, no proper air conditioning. It was waste of money and energy.

I am very impressed with the kind of service Akbar travels has provided me for my visa. Kajal was the person I got in touch with for my Malaysia visa, she was so quick with her responses and so helpful. She explained me the entire procedure and also the what kind of documents I was supposed to submit, which visa should I choose, and everything. Thank you Akbar travels for all your efforts. I am always going to apply for my visa with you guys and also I want to recommend them to everyone.

Fake and pathetic customer service

Fake and pathetic customer service. Etihad cancelled flight and informed Akbar Travels and they were least bothered to inform us. We went to airport with infant in hand an the flight was rescheduled aftee 3 days. "Merlin" from Akbar Travels said they had high call volumes so missed the call from Etihad. Seriously??? Irfan, Vishnu, Merlin and Shahid are the fake customer agents who promised refund and vanished somewhere. Do not trust Akbar Travels... They are pathetic.

Thailand visa process

Recently I applied for Thailand visa through them. They have the worst staff who are extremely rude and never respond in timely manner. Moreover, the staff lacks professionalism and fail to give proper information over call and email for the documents required from us and in turn blame us for not providing proper documents. The staff does not take onus of inefficiency and leave you suffering without any solution. Waste of money and energy.

Poor customer service

Poor customer service I applied for my uae visa from their consultant Raj, who is basically just a salesman and has no idea how the visa works. They claim to grant uae visa in 2-3 day but when I did not receive visa, I called him and he explained reason for the delay which did not make any sense so I wrote email directly to company and then they started my visa process.aftet getting visa , I needed some more information which neither raj nor the company replied. I would recommend to go with some other company if you don’t want to keep on calling them because if there is any issue , they are not gonna reach you easily.just see my chat and you will realise how they ignore you.

Kaveh Akar Martyr! Interview 2024

In Martyr! Kaveh Akbar Is Thinking About Eternity

He’s also wondering why everyone isn’t thinking about death all the time.

For a book so obsessed with death, Kaveh Akbar’s Martyr! does a pretty good job of making you feel alive.

The book follows Cyrus, an Iranian-born recovering alcoholic who can't shake a persistent cloak of sadness. When he clocks out of his day job as a medical actor who pretends to be a dying patient for doctors in training, he gets to work on his true passion: writing a book about martyrs. Along with his best friend Zee, who he sometimes kisses, Cyrus travels from Indiana to New York for a weekend to meet Orkideh, a performance artist living out her last days in the Brooklyn Museum to see what she can teach him about death.

What makes Martyr! pulse with life is how it’s really about all the ways one death can devastate the lives of everyone nearby. Cyrus, for example, is a life-long orphan after his mother’s flight is shot down by the U.S. army, based on the real-life Iran Air 655 flight. He now has “doom organ,” Akbar writes, “throbbing all day every day.”

From Iraq-Iran War battlefields to a hookah bar in Indiana, Akbar’s novel is filled with original and magnetic prose that makes you feel like the wind has been knocked out of you. NYLON caught up with Akbar on his book tour ahead of the novel’s release to talk death, art, and the American Midwest.

Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar

Where did this book start for you?

I had this idea of an artist performing a [Marina] Abramovic-esque installation of her dying in a museum where people could come talk to her during the final weeks. The person sitting in front of her was a cipher, and there was no real narrative or propulsion. It was a way for me to demonstrate my feats of syntactic semantic agility. I had to go back and figure out a plot that would make that performance interesting. What I realized very quickly was that the person sitting on the other side of the seat had to be living a life as interesting as the artist’s, and so Cyrus came to be.

Did you always want to write about the Iran Air flight shot down by the U.S.S. Vincennes?

The imprecision of American justice is taken as a given. When you say the Vincennes incident, people of a certain age will furrow their brows. It'll sound vaguely familiar, but they won't remember 290 innocent lives shot out of the sky. I'm fascinated by that. In Iran, they put it on postage stamps. They propagandize it. I'm fascinated by that, too.

What the book sets out to do is to give texture to the magnitude of one of those lives. There's one life who dies on that plane: Cyrus's mother, and because of that one life, Cyrus's life is irrevocably changed. All these lives are utterly changed by this one. You take the granular experience of individual loss and seeing that with clarity and lucidity allows you to extrapolate that to the whole of a collective grief. That's what art does.

What was it like for you to spend so much time with a character so obsessed with death? Did it make you think about death differently?

The musician Charlie Parker said, “If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn,” which is the case for me. I have always been obsessed with death. Our life is infinitely small compared to the infinities on either side of our finite lives. How is anyone not thinking about that all the time? The fact that, even if I live to be 70, it’s not even a blip in the eye of the eternity, that I will be something else or won't be something else. How is that not what everyone is thinking about all the time?

Can you talk about developing the relationship between Cyrus and Zee?

It resembles the kind of casual, non-relationship that I think a lot of young people find themselves in that aren't often depicted in fiction or narrative in general. It’s not a friends-with-benefits thing, it's not a relationship, but they're in something-ship. Cyrus is so obsessed with himself, it's hard for him to look beyond himself and his endless reprocessing of his past. That's very frustrating for Zee, who Cyrus in some ways treats like a sidekick. I can relate to both sides of that. I've been both of them at different points in my life.

Can you talk about how the American Midwest is a character?

I’ve moved around constantly in my life, but I've spent the majority of my life and my moving around in the American Midwest. I think a lot of people forget that there's a ton of farms and industrial work in the Midwest. My dad worked on poultry farms, and we moved around from duck farm to duck farm constantly, and there were a lot of immigrants on those farms.

The textures of the Midwest as an immigrant are so uncanny because there's this kind of politeness that is pervasive, almost pathological, and that makes the actual institutional and psychological malice that exists everywhere so much more insidious when you notice it. But also I love being in the Midwest. I love the monolithic skies and driving an hour and a half drive being a quick drive to get to whatever else that you want to. There's something about that expansiveness that feels really soothing to me.

Do you have any favorite martyrs or martyrs who aren't in this book?

There's a reason I didn't call it The Martyr . There's a reason that I'm not like, “Cyrus is the martyr.” I think that Cyrus is after a pretty expansive definition of martyrdom that can accommodate not just those who die in the Roman Empire or in the battle of Karbala — but maybe not even people who died at all.

Ask Amy: You are the travel agent of your own life, not a tour guide for others

  • Published: Mar. 02, 2024, 7:00 a.m.

Advice columnist Amy Dickinson answers a question about being guilted into including others in your travel plans

Amy Dickinson, known as Ask Amy, answers a question about being guilted into including others in your travel plans. Canva

  • Amy Dickinson

DEAR AMY: I love to travel. It’s almost an obsession, and age (I’m over 80) has not dulled my desire to GO. I had a good job and saved so that I could travel a lot in retirement.

My husband, however, has lost a lot of his wanderlust, and will only go if I beg and plead.

To keep us both happy, I take one or two trips a year by myself. I have learned to enjoy being alone for a couple of weeks without having to worry about anyone else and what THEY might want to do.

I’m happy to get home at the end of each trip, because I do miss my husband after time away.

My problem is with girlfriends who keep asking to come with me.

At my age, a large portion of my girlfriends are either divorced or widowed.

I like all of them or they wouldn’t be my friends – but there are very few that I’d want to travel and be with for a couple of weeks.

Some are inclined to be negative, some talk all the time (I read in the evening), and many complain a lot about their health issues.

What do I say to stop this constant haranguing?

We are currently away, and I invited one very easy-going lady, with whom I’ve been friends since the age of three, to join us for part of the trip.

I posted a picture of the three of us on FB, and one woman was so upset that SHE hadn’t been invited, that she canceled a visit with her that I had planned long ago.

Should I just stop talking about upcoming travels?

DEAR S: Overall, it is unwise to post about your travels – while you are away. There are many practical reasons for this (the first being that you should not telegraph the fact that you are away from your home). Being discreet about your travels would also spare you from the burden of your friends’ hurt feelings.

Savvy people save their social media posts for after they’ve returned home, unpacked their bags, and edited their photos.

You should not let people guilt you into including them on your travels. (You should also not guilt your husband into joining you if he doesn’t want to go.)

You are not a tour guide. You are the travel agent of your own life.

If you sincerely believe that people are “constantly haranguing” you, then you should tell them, “I’m firm about this, so I wish you’d stop asking,” but you need to understand that people have the right to ask anything of you. You might have to say, “No, that wouldn’t work for me,” every single time.

You might suggest to these friends that they should consider booking a tour or a cruise and travel together.

Road Scholar is a nonprofit organization organizing tours and experiences for elders. You might recommend this to your circle of eager travelers ( roadscholar.org ).

DEAR AMY: As someone named Debbie, I believe it is a blight on all Debbie’s, Deb’s, Debra’s, and Deborah’s everywhere for you to refer to them as a “Debby Downer!”

It is quite upsetting that you would allow and encourage this in your column.

Kindly rescind.

– Disappointed Debbie

DEAR DEBBIE: I’m officially rescinding. Also canceling my T-shirt order.

Taylor Swift Reflects on Family Ties to Singapore During Eras Tour Stop: 'It Means the World'

"My mom actually spent a lot of her childhood with her mom and dad and sister growing up in Singapore," the singer said

Taylor Swift is reflecting on family ties surrounding her latest Eras Tour stop.

During her first of six shows at the National Stadium in Singapore on Saturday, the pop superstar, 34, detailed why Singapore holds a special place in her heart.

"My mom actually spent a lot of her childhood with her mom and dad and sister growing up in Singapore," Taylor said in a fan-shot video posted on X (formerly Twitter) about her mother, Andrea Swift .

"So a lot of the time when we'd come here on tour, my mom would take me and drive me past her old house, where she used to go to school. So I've been hearing about Singapore my whole life," the musician added.

Continuing to rave to fans in Singapore even further about being able to play for them in the place where her mother once lived, Taylor said, "To get to come here and play a show this big with so many beautiful, generous people who are essentially honoring my family with what you just did with that song, it means the world."

"I already love you," the "Blank Space" singer added. "We're going to have a blast tonight."

Taylor previously opened up about her mom's early years during a 2016 interview with The Straits Times . At the time, she noted that her mom had to travel for Taylor's grandfather's job and it was "really nostalgic" for her mom when she got to revisit her childhood memories.

Both Andrea and Scott Swift — Taylor's dad — have been major supporters of their daughter's career over the years, especially during the Eras Tour.

During a Philadelphia stop on Mother's Day in May 2023, the musician paid tribute to her mom by performing her 2008 fan-favorite "The Best Day."

"I wrote this song just compiling these sort of core childhood memories I had of not just her as a mother, but her as a friend," Swift said, per a fan-shot video at the time.

"It's such a beautiful song. Where did you find it? It sounds exactly like the things we went through," she recalled of Andrea saying the first time she heard it, before she replied: "I was like, 'Mom, I wrote it and recorded it secretly, it  is  our memories. It was the sweetest thing ever because I just think she couldn't have comprehended that I would write a song about the two of us."

Swift's next five performances at the National Stadium in Singapore take place from Sunday into next weekend, closing out on March 9.
