I loveee living in Dubai..

I have been living in Dubai for 5 yrs now and can say I lowwwe Dubai...I have my own reasons to love Dubai..Indian expat living in an Arab country..I can get ANYTHING delivered at any hour..night or day..food especially.. Burger King and Ravi at 3 AM!! No problem!....as the azaan begins at 5 AM and can be heard in every corner of Dubai 5 times a day....I now say my own prayer for peace regularly..also Skype keeps me in touch with frndz n family back home and make it is easy now to participate and enjoy family drama from a distance.... in a matter of minutes,i can hear Arabic..English... Hindi..Tagalog.. Tamil... Sinhalese.. French..Italian..German, and some I can’t identify though..the joy of making frnds here..expats are bound together by the instinct to survive..so friendships are formed very quickly... My husband has a job and I dont go out to work..as my energy level is quite high.. I am not at all nervous about not working and being just a homemaker.. Happily.. I have slipped into a daily rhythm that is fulfilling...

RanDom..

This is an absolutely Random n lenghty post..so read it at your own intrest..
There is no start or end to this one..I am just writing it in one flow..with whatever comes to my mind...As I always say..I have been away from blogworld for quite sometime and that too..with no reasons whatsoever..I feel I am very busy, but I don't know what am I busy in actually.. Life has been quite busy and I have moved into a new house in new area..I realise that I have become more mature in my attitude and outlook..signs of entering 30s maybe...ooops! I am now more concerned about buying houses rather than my usual shopping sprees...hehehehe...now thats quite a change in me!...On the personal side...I am so busy with CElmira whos is almost 4 yrs old now..I must say..she and I are completely addicted to each other.. and yeah..there is nothing more comforting and reassuring than the warmth of a child's touch and that awesomely precious smile ..I love you darling sooooo much! Freak..now I know what my parents went through bringing up me..! I completely agree when its said that you realise the importance of your parents much much more when you have kids of your own.. I could not agree more..husshhh...
And of course, coming to my favourite..bollywood..I have watched quite a lot of movies ...anyways..I have tried to make a return to the blogworld and yeah I must credit someone with this return..its my hubby..Assad... Thanks dear for keeping up and gving me many reminders to getback at this..

Celmi chat

Me to Celmira: You are the best baby on this planet,
C: Daddy why not on other planets?
Me: Other planets don't have babies beta
C: Why Allah made like this? Why there are no babies?
Me: umm.. hmm..
C: Other planets have people daddy?
Me: No beta there are no people on other planets, and thats why no babies. other planets don't have air and water beta.

(Celmira very logical thinking, and thanks for the hint to give you a logical answer)

The hardest questions

I love that Celmi asks lot of questions these days... I love that she's thinker who processes her world in thoughtful ways, and wants to understand the how and why behind the what... But it's scary to think about those questions tht can come... I'm less worried about embarrassing questions or silly questions, and more concerned about values-based questions which, with the wrong answer, can confuse her..We want to answer her honestly as much as we can.. yes, we want Celmi to believe a lot of what we believe. But we also want her to believe it because she has thought it through and it makes sense to her.. Not just because we've told her it's so..
I suppose all I can do is what I'm doing now--let her know what we believe, answer her questions as honestly as I can, and let her know that she can always talk to me about any subject at all...
