Here’s mine. What an amazing way to pay tribute to Alan Kurdi, and to the many refugee children who are caught in the trap of homelessness. It’s unimaginable what they are going through and the efforts required to rebuild their lives for a better future. “Sea Prayer” made me play a small part in redefining…

Last weekend, after lunch I stopped by the Belgian Waffle to buy waffles for my niece and nephew. Going through the menu and deciding what to buy is always a pain with the fancy names. So I decided to go by the pictures and whatever looked best. Since it was a takeaway, I had to…

An off from work on a weekday is truly a bliss. I slept like a log the entire day. It’s when I woke up in the evening, I realized how much I was deprived of sleep. I made myself some coffee and as usual sat down to relax in my small balcony garden. It was…

I sent this picture to a group of my friends and asked how the picture is. While I was expecting a “Wow” surprisingly, the first one to respond said – “This is just mud, what do want us to say?” That’s a fair response, isn’t it? 😂 The picture was accidentally clicked when I was…

You all are the best!

If you believe in angels, they are around you in the form of your close friends and family and so is the belief in evil. A human has the potential to bring out both either the best or the worst in you. That’s why it becomes so important to surround ourselves with people who can…

Reading has widened the horizons of my imagination. Reading has helped me to be creative in my writing. To be a better story-teller. It has enabled me to look at every moment of life as an inspirational story that can be penned down to share with the world. I want to write more and learn…

I always love getting into conversations with my 4 year old niece because of her cute and unfiltered responses. Last time we met, I got to learn from her that brain is in the stomach. I couldn’t stop myself from 😂 😂. But seriously thinking about it now, makes me feel, life would have been…

I crossed 300+ followers today. I don’t like using the word “followers” because everyone here is definitely a trendsetter with their unique stories and content. I am really thankful to all my readers and a special mention to the ones who have taken time to not just read but also encouraging me with their kind…

The third and the final one. I’m inspired by everything that has an Arab touch to it so naturally music 🎶 comes first. One beautiful Arabic song that I came across a few months ago is “Be yourself – Kun aanta” by Humood. Do watch the video until the end. You would love it. 😍…

From my childhood, I’ve always been a dreamer and there has been no control over things that I accomplish in those dreams. Maybe that’s why the first time I heard the song, “I have a dream”, it made my belief and reasons to dream even stronger. So here it goes: “I have a dream, a…

How many times in our lives do we end up in a situation, where we are compelled to think, “Wait, do I deserve this? What wrong have I done to anyone? I’ve always been kind to people and their needs, why can’t they think like me?” How many times? I think the answer is, each…

While rushing to get captured with one of this background view, I fell down accidentally and sprained my ankle. And the pain spoilt the rest of my day, as I was not able to walk properly. Nevertheless, the feeling that I experienced at this place was worth the pain. And few of these captures will…

For me it was going back to my childhood when I bought these soft toys whom I call Robbie and Rosie. Now they are at the mercy of my nephews and niece. Or, it was just filling a book with colors or jotting down my personal thoughts or my goals for me to look back…

Ramadan is my favorite time of the year just like Christmas, Easter or Diwali. No. No. I’m not disclosing my faith here. I’m just about to share my story with one of them. My love for Azaan began when I was in school. Next to our school, was a big mosque. It stood tall and…

Just a few hours ago, I posted my blog on the Liebster Award. Now, I am so pleased to write a post on “The Blogger Recognition Award”.

Now that I have started writing, I still can’t believe in those two words “I write”. A year back, it never seeped into my mind to start writing. And now, with every new post of my mine I can see myself improving gradually. I’m not competing with the world. I’m competing with myself. There is…

Yes, that’s right. Alladin’s magic lamp from Arabian nights. The lamp that comes with a bonus of a genie that can fulfill your wish. The lamp that I bought as a souvenir from my trip to Dubai. Now, peacefully resting on my desk, Shining all the time. Everyone who stops by my desk, Can’t control…

In those moments, when everything seems to have come to a pause, out of nowhere we find these words passed on to us, by our loved ones and our well-wishers. These are the words of hope which for many of us also changes our outlook towards life. From my last post, I invited my fellow-bloggers to…
