Oh 2020…

You’re going to be a very memorable year for everyone around the World!

*Takes the longest sigh ever​*

Thought of making a COME BACK with a ‘New Year, New/Improved Me’ post, but looks like I’ve got a better story for this one!

Let’s start with a what a wonderful decade this has been, At least for me personally! Starting University in 2009 after my wonderful 2 years of High school. I remember being so naïve and lost and almost unsure of what’s going on. My choice for most of the options throughout the following years was to go with – anything and everything SAFE. It turned out to be good and bad in its own way! 

From my first job before Uni to my last before leaving Dubai. Learned so much about people and relationships. About how much of a blessing it is to be left with a handful of genuine people vs the crowd around you. 
In all these years, what’s been consistent and always my priority was Me Familia!

These past 10 years have been very special to me in many ways:
(not necessarily in order)

Me and my Soul Sista started a BLOG! 
Scored 2 Degrees
Lived Alone
Worked with some wonderful people, some of whom I call Mentors now
Bought a car, a pre-loved special one 🙂
Did some adult banking financing stuff (It’s a huge deal for me!)
Experienced ups and downs of relationships and emotions
Made the best of best of best friends for life!
Found LOVE and got Married to this wonderful Man!
Most importantly, spent a great time finding myself and growing as a person along the way. 

The best learning of my life for life will be:
Understanding, Appreciating and Acknowledging who I am. 

And with this post, begins my comeback! *hand wave emoji*

One Fine Outing

It’s been a while since we got active on our blog, so we thought we could restart by posting a few glimpses from our recent outing.

It’s always a gratifying feeling when the country we live in is always aiming to build a bigger and better lifestyle for us to experience. There is always something new here, and that’s the specialty.

 

The day we went for the Colour Run 2015

The day of Colour Run 2015 – 21st November 2015

After a year of wanting to go for the Colour Run – We finally made it.

Last year Shahana had brought up the idea of wanting to go for the event but we missed the deadline ‘cos of so many pending decisions like I had to travel to Qatar and the dates weren’t confirmed and many other tiny issues…

This year, it was a lot better because we got better compaanyyyy :). We got to pull along our mutual-work-colleague who is now our new-found bestie – Ranjeeta and her little sister -Rachna!

We received the Colour Run pack with some merchandise waaayy ahead of the event so it got us some time to feel the excitement for many days that the excitement did turn towards wee bit of nervousness (considering it was our first public run and that saying it includes color!), but it was all well in the end.

We had to be there at 7am as the gates apparently closes by 9.30 am- the thought of waking up early and to drive to a location far away was by itself a mission for us. As dramatic as it sounds, we did make it on time, well 8.30 ish to be exact, ready to face our next mission to begin the race.

Runners were released on to the tracks on batches and we were (safely) the last batch of runners. Although the hype and attraction, we guessed, would have been more for the first batches, we could see the organizers/ hosts did their best to keep up the excitement till the very end.

To sum it up, as it looks on the map it was surely one colorful event!! We were super excited to go for the run and glad we can tick it off our non-existing bucket list! 😀
Colour runs like these happen in different countries and if you happen to spot one in your place don’t hesitate to sign up for it to enjoy the event!

 

Signing off now,

Us.
