I want to share with you my other love: photography. Yes I am very much an amateur and have yet to perfect this wonderful art form, but I think I am getting there. What do I take photos of: anything which leaves me breathless. Like this one:

I took this photo of Indonesian dancer, Ms Neng, the other week at the International Woman's Day Celebrations. She was absolutely stunning and I was left mesmerised by her every move.

Another favourite photo of mine is of a market archway in Aleppo, Syria. My heart bleeds for the people of Syria and every time I look at this photo (which I have framed on my wall), I am reminded how I was fortunate enough to experience this beautiful place just that once. 

If you haven't used your camera in a while, dust if off right now. You may be surprised what you have managed to capture. Enjoy clicking away folks!

Let's start with love

Hello friends. Welcome to my world where I celebrate all things beautiful- things, moments, photos which inspire me and which make my heart sing. 


And I want to start with one of my favourite Persian poet- the celebrated Hafiz:


"Your love should never be offered to the mouth of a stranger ...
Only to someone who has the valor ...
And daring to cut pieces of their soul off with a knife ...
Then weave them into a blanket ...
To protect you"
