Welcome me Read cash family Hi guys! I hope everyone is fine. It’s been a long time since I came here. A lot has changed in my life since I last wrote. Some times life becomes so busy that you forget certain things. I kind of left read cash far behind me. But I am back again. Reading my old articles is kind of making me nostalgic. I hope this time I will last here longer.

Warm Weather Weather these days is getting hard to bear. As I have recently moved to Dubai, it is really difficult for me to withstand the heat outside. Although you don’t feel the heat indoors due to air conditioning system. But once you step out, it feels like you are melting. I hope this weather gets better by next month.

At Dubai Marina A few days back I booked dinner on yacht with my family. I must say it was the best decision. It was a two storeys yacht and we decided to sit on the upper storey to enjoy the Dubai Marina views more closely. Not only we enjoyed the food and the scenic views but there was a brief session of the famous Tanoura dance. It was an evening to remember.

Night: A scary yet beautiful time Some people like day time while others like night time. I am among the later ones. I like the quietness and tranquility of night time. As I am sitting in my room, looking at the moon through my window, I feel the kind of calmness that our bodies require after the hectic routines of our life. People admire full moon, so do I. But we can’t ignore the beauty of half moon. The concave symmetry of it is in itself a sign of beauty.

Grocery Shopping Day It is…. Not many people are fond of doing the daily or monthly grocery but I love doing it. Going to marts and setting everything in trolley in an organised way is something that I love doing. By the way I love organising things everywhere. Be it my room or the shopping trolley. Therefore often my family members call me “Monica”.

My Hobby Everyone has a hobby. Hobby is something that takes us out of our depression phase and keeps us happy and involved. I love photography and it’s my hobby. Photography is an umbrella term by the way. There are multiple genres that you can involve yourself in while doing photography. I personally love capturing wild life and nature. I would love to show case some of my photos which I have clicked over the years. I hope you guys will like them.

Rain: A blessing of God Does nature affect our mood? Does it affect our tendency to react to certain things? These are the questions that are worth asking. In my opinion yes it does. Beauty captivates our hearts so does our mood. Being in a serene environment brings us peace of mind and heart which ultimately brightens our mood. If you ask me, one thing that changes my mood in seconds is “rain”. I am a rain lover. I literally feel the effect of rain on my soul. If I am…

I some times feel that with the passage of time you loose interest in things you were once highly enthusiastic about. May be it’s because priorities change or time changes the way you feel. The people we interact with in life, multiple factors in our surrounding and the situations we go through in our life change our perspective of everything.

Motherhood Motherhood transforms you into a person you would have never thought in your wildest dreams. No matter how irresponsible you are, once you become a mother all of a sudden you start caring for things you never thought you would. It is something which is not taught and you can’t even learn it unless you become a mom yourself. It is the most natural and purest form of love that requires nothing in return. There are many people in our lives that are dear to us, but…

Social Media Today one can’t even think of living without social media. It has revolutionised our life in a way that there is no going back. First thing in the morning that most of us do is check our WhatsApp, instagram or any other social media platform. Obviously everything has its own pros and cons, so does have social media. One of the pros that I think has made a great impact on people’s lives is earning through social media platforms. If you have any type of skill, you…

Night time Ice cream shift These days I have been obsessed with vanilla cone ice cream. I don’t have sweet tooth. So, I don’t like ice creams much but there is this shop in my vicinity which sells finger licking good ice cream. Every other night I have cravings for that ice cream and I can’t seem to resist those cravings. But these cravings are transient I am sure. Because the only permanent craving that I get all the time is of tea. I was supposed to go to the ice cream…

Is not it strange that things or people who once used to be so important, doesn’t really matter anymore. I remember I was a such a huge Michael Jackson fan, that I had gathered all of his CDs, magazines and his autobiography as well. I remember getting emotional when someone would say bad about him. But there came a time, I gave away all those things to my friends which In gathered with so much love. I don’t even regret it. I would have never thought in my wildest dreams of…

Fate over Hard work Hard work pays off. There is no doubt about it. But sometimes fate dominates. I can relate to this with examples from my own life experiences. When I was preparing for my entry test, I worked really hard. But I couldn’t get admission in any of the medical colleges. While many of the other students I knew, got admission although they were not as hardworking as I was. So often fate dominates and even after putting a lot of hard work you fail to get what you…

Saying “No” seems easy but it takes lots of courage. We must learn to say “No” where our principles are comprised. Caring for others is a good gesture but compromising our own rules is actually letting ourselves down. It’s ok to say, we are not born to please everyone. We must care for our happiness and peace of mind first. Only then we can be a source of happiness and joy of others. Those who care for us will understand while those who don’t care will make big deal out of…

A new construction A new building is under construction in front of my house, which I am not happy about. You all might think what harm can it bring me. The thing is I live on second floor, from where I see super markets which are at walking distance from my apartment. Those super markets are open 24/7 due to which there are lights and people even at night time. I like such a lively environment. Now that a new construction is going on right in front of my house, it will…

I have just finished giving my toddler lunch. I must say it is one of the most difficult task to feed the little ones because of the tantrums they throw.
@Ellen1
I am going out for a walk. Although there is no point of walking outside in this hot weather. But still, going out is important to freshen my mind. Staying at home all day kind of makes me sick.

People say Dubai is the land of opportunity. There is no doubt about it. But lately, it has become so hard to get job here. I have been looking for a decent job for many months. Let’s hope for the best and see where I end up.
@Ellen1
Every night I sleep with a strong intention of waking up early in the morning and every day I intend to sleep early. But I do the otherwise. I really need to set a routine for myself.
@Ellen1
It is so hard to decide everyday what to cook. Sometimes I am out of food items in my mind. I find it more difficult than cooking itself.

It’s been half an hour since I am rocking my toddler to sleep. But it seems she is not in the mood to sleep. I am quite sleepy though.

Last Generation Yesterday I was scrolling down my instagram account when I came across a video that made me realise that we are the last generation to experience certain things. I remember there were no phones in our childhood. My father started using phone very late in his life. It was a small Nokia phone. We used to play with toy phones. We are the last generation who grew up without screen time. We spent our childhood playing hide and seek, pithu garam, king stop etc in…

Tips to avoid getting low quality materials through online shopping Lately many online shopping platforms have been established all over the internet like Daraz, Temu, Ali express, Shein etc. These platforms have really made our lives easy. One can order anything merely by a single click. But often we don’t get what we expect. As there are various vendors, each selling his own item. I’ve done online shopping so many times that now I have become a pro. Rarely it happens that…

I am planing on enrolling myself in some freelance courses. I have come across Digiskills program. They offer free courses in many areas like Graphic designing, SEO optimisation, digital marketing etc. If any one of you is interested, do check them out. The good part is there is no fee, all the courses are free of cost and you don’t have to go anywhere, all courses are provided online.

Lately, my heels and wrist have started hurting badly. I can’t put much pressure on my feet. My vitamin D levels were low few months back. I think I need to get my Vit D levels checked again. I have always been the type of person who would not sit in sunlight even for few minutes, which is a huge mistake. As sunlight is a great source of Vitamin D.

I want to watch a good series. But I have a bad habit. Once I start watching a show, I can’t seem to resist the urge to watch all the episodes in one day. I hate this addiction.
@Ellen1
It was such a hectic day today. I had a lot of chores to do. Thank God I am finally free and about to watch my favourite drama. Good night everyone. I am sure many of you are already asleep.

I wait anxiously for the time after Asar prayer. As it is family tea time and I love this time the most. All family members gather and enjoy tea with gossips. By the way I drink tea 3 to 4 times a day but evening tea is my favourite.

Today I went to Cheesecake Factory in Dubai Festival City Mall. I tried their cheese Nachos, chicken soup along with garlic bread and cheese cake. I must say their food is a treat to the taste buds.

Making tea for myself and lunch for my toddler. Today I am gonna head out to do some grocery. How is your day going?

One of the most difficult things about moving to another country is getting used to the products of that country. Sometimes you don't like the things in that new place.
