Magic in Desert

Honestly, I was never a fan of deserts. Just one time in India I went and that was the only time I wanted to go back home from a trip.
I always felt desert was depressing, the barren land, the sinking nature and the serpant like texture.

So, finally in Dubai I went for desert safari and it was a mind blowing experience.
The crazy drive through the sand dunes, the ups and down like a roller coaster. Then the evening camp, lovely food, lovely people, cold weather, sheesshaaa... and the awesome belly dance and kandoora dance..

Captured, as much as I could, rest all in memory..

Old passion, new trial

So, lately I have been thinking about my interests and career. Realized that I am blessed that my childhood hobby/passion is now my profession. I finally managed to do what I always wanted to.

But, from past 5 years I have had a new passion, cooking. I have already mentioned that in my previous post.. but the differnece now is.. I am seriously considering if I should try and work in the field. I surely donot have any professional experience, its just domestic, usual interest.
But, I wonder.. been into art and design since forever.. I can't even remember since when.
May be its time I want to try somethign else. But, then again.. making my hobby my profession. hmm.

So, anyway, I decided to make something different. Right now all I know about cooking involves indian and chinese cuisine. But, been here in middle east for 3 years, guess its definitely a good idea to try the arab cuisine.
So, this weekend I would start with the simple ones - hummus (my fav) and falafel.

Next post, I guess would be with the pictures.

yummm... drool (already)
