Paris, Je t'aime

Paris…. a magical and mythical city…. a walking city…. a city with magnificent architecture, scenery, art, sculptures, museums and beautiful weather… I couldn’t ask for a better destination to spend my holiday. I felt so liberated to experience Paris by just walking around… feeling the vibe and embracing romance and beauty around.

I’d like to share Paris, through my eyes…. Through my lens…

Lucky to witness the last day of Tour de France

 

Paris experience is never complete if you don't try their cuisine

 

 

I know there is so much more to see and experience in this great city and that gives me a reason to visit Paris again....

Through my lens: Dubai's Architectural Beauty

I missed talking to all of you. My ten day break in Dubai was a much needed get-away for me. And post break, it took me exactly a week to come out of my “Dubai Blues”, with loads of laundry, replying to emails, getting back to my daily routine…. Suddenly the so called recent vacation seemed distant. But the fantasy of another break is one of the reasons that make me smile and chat with you all. So how have you all been?

I am glad I was able to capture bits and pieces of Dubai’s architectural beauty even though the surreal attraction of different malls lured me into retail therapy! Dubai, a melting pot of different cultures, is blended and reflected on its architecture design.

Enjoy the pictures!

Elegance of Shangri-La’s Barr Al Jissah Resort & Spa

No matter how many times you stay at Shangri-La’s Barr Al Jissah Resort & Spa, you always carry back with you a new experience after your stay there. Besides the impeccable service, the panoramic view of the sparkling bay and the mountains, this time I was drawn more towards the beautiful architecture and the interior design of this resort. The shape of the arches and the beautiful Moroccan lanterns added mystery and romance to the whole atmosphere.
