Hello there everyone! How's your Valentine's Day celebration? So yeah wooo hoo! It's that day when all the lovers out there show how much they care and love one another lol!...

But we still go do something as everyday is a Valentine's day for me with my family and friends,...i love them absolutely and so they do .....I never stop feeling lucky to have such a kind hearted husband.... .... andI'm not going to show you guys what we got each other because it's only for our eyes heheheh!...Finally i want to remember and thanks to everyone who have made a difference in my life...I want to tell you ..."Thank you,"....But it doesn’t seem enough.....

Words don’t seem sufficient...."Blah, blah" and all that stuff.....Please know I have deep feelings about your generous act.....I really appreciate you all;...You all are special, and that’s a fact!

Thank you so much for your support & encouragement during this exciting month.... It means the world to me. :)

The Dubai Mall

Yesterday we visited one of the largest Malls in the world....The Dubai Mall. As always, out here, it just has to be the biggest or break some sort of world record . . . though that half of the space is still empty....lotz of shops have still not opened... It is huge though and you really do need a map to navigate your way around...we saw the Dubai Mall Aquarium! It is amazing.....especilly the
discovery center is beautiful ...we were lost in the rainforest...well i had only read about rain forest..but it was breathtaking... the indoor aquarium has a viewing tunnel through the middle,...It has like around 80 species or marine life including sharks, stingray, beautiful and ugly fish!...assad wut say about piranha...!!! If you just want to see the aquarium you pay 25aed per adult or 50aed if you want to visit the Discovery Centre upstairs as well. However, though first impressions of the Discovery Centre is pretty good, some nice fish in large aquariums with good educational guides, further round you come to extremely small enclosures withotters, penguins and seals....Initially, Celmira was actually quite scared - some of the fish are quite big and I suppose for a small person, this could be quite scary.... But thn celi really started enjoying them...At first we walked around it checking it out from the outside and there were so many people standing outside watching. It is not complete, but they have done a very good job of opening a good varied selection of stores and food outlets...like Taco Bell...whr we had nacho swith dip and soft chicken tacos...it was worth the money .... The indoor ice rink is good even if you just want to stop and watch the people skating and falling on their way....overall.... we
had a good weekend.. looking forward to plan next one...he he

Me blogging, thoughts wandering, smsing ppl..... and im struck by a thought.... the intensity of love ..... giving everything u have and expecting nothing in return. wiling to give up everything to be with the person and feel as if u are gaining the world. caring about the person beyond anyone or anything else...I love u Assad..
uhhh gtalk is is not working for some reason. i feel cut off from the world. i feel as if my day is not complete if i havent logged on to gtalk..... even if i dont chat to anyone, i need to be logged on at least. i guess its not so much talking to people, i mean if i want to do that i can call up a friend.... its more of just being around people i know and not necessarily talking.....and right now im in the mood to be around people and since im at home the only way i can do that is by logging on to gtalk.... WHICH IS NOT HAPPENING!!!!!!

As every new year comes we remember the year gone by. The year 2008 was filled with both happy moments to share and stressful times too. This year started with lots of anticipation and excitement of becoming a new parent. We waited day after day for the arrival of our little bundle of joy and she made her grand appearance on 23 march 2008....Dear Celmira...to start with ..you have become very naughty these days...when you act naughty, I try to be clam. I try not to yell at you and many times these days, I find myself just completely ignoring your act. I tell you that its not right to do so , but just in a normal voice. The other day, I raised my voice a bit and you started crying.... I have definitely learnt to be calm....You are choosy and picky about your food. You tell me that its okay if you ate a little less someday and that you would be alright. But me being your mommy will worry unnecessarily over the quantity that you've had. You like carrot, spinach...
It's a struggle these days to dress you up... You have been talking quite a bit, learning new words and trying to speak in words with actions. .....over the last couple of months, you have been spending more time with your daddy and getting much closer to him...Nowadays, you smile wide - toothless smile!!!, as soon as you see daddy in the morning. If you hears his voice, you look in that direction.... Plays more with dad, but returns to mommy when hungry.....Last week, when you were down with viral infection you had disturbed sleep during the nights..... cough irritated your throat, leading to more coughs during the night. Eventually you would get up, all upset and demand to sleep in your daddy's arms....My little princesss is growing up fast....you wants a bite from our plates always..you have made an effort to take a few steps of her own. For the past week, you have been trying to stand on your own without support....As you are approaching your first birthday, I cannot but wonder how days flew by and you grew up so fast....Its been a wonderful journey the past 9 months with you and wish that the new year brings many more joyous moments for you and us. Wishing you all a happy and funfilled New Year 2009....

Last week i was in mumbai for 4 days...we happened to visit this restaurant at racecourse ....Gallops is situated at the Mahalaxmi racecourse. the place is brilliant as far location goes cause the minute you enter the long road leading to the race course you enter into a different feeling where there is greenery all around and you are away from hustle and bustle of the city.....i was lost in those green lawns...cud not take off my eyes for a minute..hold on!...u think i have gone crazy...yes it was a treat to my eyes to see so much greenery after staying in Dubai where i can see only desert and glittering lights in malls...

The ambience is great and reminds you of a bygone era when the times were better and life was more laid back..... . I definitely recommend it , go ahead you won’t be disappointed... Yes, it’s not for one who reads the menu from right to left, price first and dish name later. But at the same time, it is expensive....I think, dining at Gallops is quite an experience if you are a food lover...Almost evey dish there is simply fabulous. My favourite was chicken cream soup which they served with fresh bread sticks with lip smacking butter...If you land up there for lunch on a racing day (when there is either live racing at Bombay with betting at Mahalaxmi racecourse) then YOU HAVE TO SWITCH OFF MOBILE PHONES as per the state government law ....So if you are addicted to your cell, lunch at Gallops on a racing day is not recommended for you. ...We ordered paya soup to start with...for starters we had prawns and mexican fried chicken strips...main course was hyderbadi biryani, Chicken ala kiev and chicken stroganoff.... All the dishes were really great and we all thoroughly enjoyed the lazy sunday lunch(the wierd mish-mash of Indian/Continental cuisine ). .....Total hit to the pocket... About 3K ...I found the place pretty sophisticated....didn't see much young crowd, but the place is really awesome - spacious, tables are nicely placed & lightings are good ....artisticly put up curtains...Gallops has the ambience of a britsh-raj style club.....I felt as if I was on a holiday in my own city Mumbai where i have lived for 25 yrs of my life....
