My NYE with banoffee pie
People often plan what they’re going to do for New Year’s Eve. Many often tell me about awesome concerts, cool parties and in Dubai, they also tell me about being stuck in traffic (yes on NYE). I’ve never done any of these things on the 365th (or 366th) day of any year. Most of them … Read more

Mission: Two weeks without Mom
Not many people understood. “I’m taking two weeks off from work in December,” I said. “Oh where are you going?” they asked. “Nowhere,” I replied.
