Marakkech – the city of snake charmers ..really ??

Image
This year has ended on a real high with an exciting travel to yet another continent Africa. I travelled  to almost 7 countries out of which 4 of them have been with family which includes a 5 year old  but have to say that the child truly seems to have taken the travelling gene .I don’t think I can still call myself an avid traveler as I still run away from the mundane tasks of  booking tickets , planning elaborate itineraries but put me there and I find more than interesting ways to enjoy each and every moment spent during travel.  This trip was no different and even though being the last one where you’d expect to be too tired the few blogs and travel sites I read convinced me that it definitely was warmer & colourful enough to give me the respite from the cold winters of London. Ryanair was quite worthy of its price & there we were at Marrakech by Friday evening. Since I’m quite excited about the whole trip and I have ample time thanks to the ...

Beginners guide to Fawad khan

It was one of the dull days at office but fortunately a Friday when at least at night I could end up watching something by myself. I had been rejecting all Bollywood movies around that time but the word FAWAD FEVER was somewhere lingering in my mind and I decided to watch Khoobsoorat. As soon as I had finished watching the movie I had built a certain liking for Fawad and wanted to know more about him. That’s when wikepedia opened my doors to a whole new world of The Fawad Khan. I started with Zindagi Gulzar Hai( Zaroon Junaid) , Humsafar (Asher Hussain) and then Dastaan( hassan ) . Believe me all of these were watched spending days in and nights out. Something in Dastaan hit me very hard when the story of India Pakistan partition was shown from a different perspective. I’m not sure and I wouldn’t like to comment on this forum if I agree or not to all of it but there I was awestruck by not only Fawad Khan but the Pakistani Drama industry. There is no stereotypical Saas-Bahu thing or...

A Royal day at Ascot

Image
When your husband  gives you only one day a year to make you feel special, no prize for guessing a birthday , my imagination runs really in all possible directions to make the best use of it.  Only if there were no price labels attached to it ,cause you know that this one day of luxury will cost you the clothes &  bags for rest of the year . I searched through  numerous  sites and reviews until I finally came across this awesome chance to be at Ascot Racecourse  ,minus the royal of course.  The not so Royal day is as exciting perhaps for it was British summers & the ticket priced at just 25 pound per person . But t he challenge  - to make sure that not only me but even hubby is formally dressed up but remember special day - and so he obliged.  London in summers is completely mesmerizing  with colourful flowers, lush green grounds, people out and about in bright clothes , chirpy moods & the air  buzz...
