Boy oh Boy ! 2015 has been a year filled with all sorts of highs and lows. Like we say in my Indian culture a year of bittersweet. Last night while online, I came across a rather fun and interesting post by Meg a South African Blogger (www.getfithappyhealthy.com). It was a selection of 25 questions kinda a snapshot of 2015.…

Let's Thai Abu Dhabi
My own experience of eating Thai Food has only been from a franchise type eatery in South Africa and a few places while in London. Thai Food is known for its fresh ingredients , coconut milk and subtle flavours. Nothing of what I had eaten previously could prepare me or my taste buds for this explosion of flavour. Sontaya is…
Feed me Lindor ! Feed me Lindor
Almost like a memorable love story, I recall vividly the day and year when I had my first taste of Lindt. On the 23 December 2000, I left South Africa for the first time on my own to live and work in London. I was at the Durban International Airport with almost an entourage of family and friends to wish…

The Case of the Meraki Ring
I love wearing jewels be it neck pieces or bangles. I do not feel dressed without some jewellery on. But for some reason I do not own many rings or for that matter wear those I have. All that changed just before my trip to Abu Dhabi when I was sent a Meraki Ring from www.anoblespace.com Packaged in a gorgeous…
Food Glorious Food #InAbuDhabi
One of the most popular questions that I get asked when I travel is ” How was the food?” Coming from an Indian home where food and cooking is the heart of a home this is no surprise. On my recent trip to Abu Dhabi I was spoilt for choice. The breakfast buffet at the Shangri La hotel where I…

It is that crazy time of year. We are frantically finishing off work projects,attending Christmas parties and shopping for the Festive season. It is also a time when our emotions are not always on check. Our body and minds are tired and stressed out. Often we experience a meltdown which sends our emotions on a rollercoaster. Tantrums surface and we…
