Walk your Way to Better Lifestyle!!
An early morning walk is a blessing for the whole day – Henry David Thoreau. I would not call myself a gym or workout enthusiast but the current pandemic scenario has changed my perspective about exercising and after trying almost everything, I believe and really encourage walking! Walking may sound simple and those who are looking at shedding a few pounds may feel it be a waste of time or effort since it’s simple and takes its own time. But let me tell you, it’s not always about losing weight. You may gym rigorously for a few days and diet but does that give you inner happiness. If it does,…
The Taste of Tradition- Sikka Café, La Mer!
Sikka Café, a local homegrown restaurant that gives the taste of the most unique cultures prevailing in Dubai. This restaurant serves the most flavorful dishes from Emirati, Arabic, Indian and Persian cuisine. Sikka Café is located right at La Mer beach with well-designed indoor and outdoor seating areas. We had visited this spectacular restaurant on an occasion and they offered us a pre-planned three-course menu with non-alcoholic beverages for dinner. Well, to begin with, the first course, was a meal in itself. The appetizers with a cold mezze platter were not only a treat for my eyes but delicious. Not to miss, the first course was accompanied by “Saudi Champagne”.…
Internships or Volunteer Work…Their role in the corporate world!
Corporate World….Survival of the Fittest! Does it really help to be a part of volunteer work or internships even though you have experience and carry a great CV with numerous accreditations…if you ask me…Yes! I strongly believe there is no age assigned for any work. But there are other factors which I really wanted to put forward. I know this blog is very different from my regulars, but I recently came across a situation that made me ponder the necessity of “Internships” and “Volunteer work”. I was part of various volunteer assignments in India, but I believe that is what we call “CSR”. However, I noticed that here in Dubai,…
MAC EDITION- Mac N Cheese, Dubai! …Food Review
Ultimate comfort food is now in Dubai at various locations around the Emirate. Mac n cheese is the most crave-worthy American dish that is relished by both grownups and children. A perfect portion of this dish can although add enough calories that would make you regret the next day but the satisfaction is surely worth it. A great choice for your cheat day! I recently came across the MAC EDITION- Mac N Cheese restaurant on Zomato and immediately ordered the first thing on the menu that I saw, The Bolognese Mac along with my all-time favorite Grilled cheese Turkey Sandwich. Much to my disappointment, the Mac and cheese had a…
As “Authentic” as it can be…Lucknowee…Restaurant Review!
One of the hidden gems of Dubai…Lucknowee restaurant at Al Karama is a small cozy family restaurant with a Royal themed ambiance. They have an interactive open kitchen concept which is basically the tandoor section of the kitchen. Thinking of dining at “Lucknowee” consider trying everything on the menu. The restaurant serves few dishes but the best ones from Lucknow. There is “Tunday Kebab” which is basically the best kebabs in Dubai. Most dishes have their accompaniments which would make your ordering simpler. Limited but the best is on their menu and every bit of it is worth trying. Each preparation brings out its own distinct flavors and appearance. Most…
Most delicious… flavorful and healthy Pumpkin Recipe!
Let’s get on to another flavorful day of recipe writing…..and this one is really special to me. A few years ago, I was suffering from an ailment wherein I was supposed to cut down on white or red meat and focus entirely on vegetables like bottle gourd, pumpkin, bitter gourd, and lots of such vegetables that may not have a pleasant taste but are a blessing for your body. I was like any other child that cribbed every time these vegetables were served and it wasn’t helping. So, my mother who is an amazing cook and has pure magic in her hands decided to make these vegetables interesting for me.…
Love at First Sip – Starbucks!
Everyone has their own personal favorites at Starbucks, but I have one very special coffee concoction that I would like to share with all my readers, and please… it’s a must-try! I recently went through a Starbucks “Drive-Thru” near my house; I was fortunate to encounter a very good service experience. Their service staff suggested a new option for me “Doubleshot Iced Shaken Espresso”. This is was a magic drink and a perfect amalgamation of Espresso…syrup…iced-shaken…and a dash of cold milk. This coffee is incomplete without “White Mocha”. Moreover, with my personal experience and taste preference, a minimum of 4 shots of white mocha is when you would really get…
Oven Story Pizza …Their Flavors take you back to India – Review!

Kibsons…A Perfect Online market for your “Special Occasions”!
Kibsons has become a convenient online marketplace for all groceries for all nationalities but who knew you could celebrate your special moments with Kibsons too. I had noticed this last year when we received a box of sweets on Diwali which was bought from Kibsons and believe me….it could not be more Indian and traditional than that. So this year my husband gifted me a beautifully decorated box of a large heart-shaped Cake and an enormous bunch of “Red Kenyan Roses”. This was a brownie cake with small minty hearts all around it and the roses came in a huge cardboard vase. The entire arrangement could not be more beautifully…
