This is going to be my last Dubai blog, I promise. But I had to write it to you.
As I worked upon the 19 unexpected lessons from Dubai trip blog, I wanted to write about the three best things that came out of that trip. Here you go:
- I got good at expressing myself. The first day we did a city tour, followed by visiting Museum of the Future and Burj Khalifa. At the end of the day, I had no good picture of mine! Whereas I clicked so many good pictures of my cousins. Later that night in the hotel room, I confronted them that they had great Burj Khalifa pictures and we also did not go to Lululemon in the Dubai mall. I am usually never the person who expresses herself. We had so much fun (despite almost no resolution of my issues, phew) that I was glad I expressed myself.
- Mosque with a thin crescent. Dubai is a city laden with skyscrapers. Yet, every once a while you’d come across a mosque laden in the middle of the city. Because we had gone there just after amavasya (Diwali), we also got to witness 3-4 days of thin crescent moon. It was the most beautiful sight to behold. Especially when there was no FOMO to capture it.
- Two contrasting skies from the flight. We took a late night flight from Abu Dhabi to Delhi. Left at 1.30 am local time, reached 6.30 am India time. I was fortunate to sit on the emergency exit seats, and the entire row was vacant. One side you could see the black, night sky; and on the other you could see the dawn with an intersection of an orange and blue sky. Life is literally where you look at.
My wish for you is that life keeps presenting you with such shots of awe, and you capture them in your heart instead of your phone.
