Farewell Dubai!
With hesitant steps but ambition to reach the sky
You set foot on the land of Dubai!
Working hard thru the years, up the ladder you went,
Never letting go of your family and friends.
Several breakfasts, lunches and dinners we’ve enjoyed
These are the moments of our life to be rejoiced.
Although apart, Agent M and Yoyo will continue to bond
Just like us, they will learn to cherish this love and grow fond
A most generous heart, you have, my little brother!
I cannot imagine us, living without each other.
I wish you good luck and pray for your success
Work hard, and continue to perform with finesse!
Love you
Didi
28 Oct 2011 (celebrating 5 years of togetherness)
We gathered at our new home to wish Salman, Shaheen and Inaya a farewell on the 28th Oct 2011. We will miss them here in Dubai!

Yoyo's charm
Aai-baba have come over from London this week and we all took Yoyo down to the play area in front of our building 113 in DG. There were twin Lebanese girls about 4 yrs old and their younger sister who was about the same age as Yoyo (2.4 years) playing with their Nanny. As soon as they saw Yohaan, they all ran to him and kept catching him and kissing him. He would run fast out of their reach and then stop, if they could catch him again they would kiss him. It was like he was being attacked by pretty girls! Axe Effect!! Guess it had to do with Yoyo's charming look.. starting young eh! Very cute and memorable sight!

Yoyo, where are you?!
23rd Sept 2011
This is a day, both Satyajit and I will never forget. On this day, yoyo was lost in the Mall for 20 minutes!!
I've realised that I did not know what it felt like to lose a loved one until this very day. We ran from pillar to post all over the Ibn Battuta Mall. Made annoucements to alert people to watch out for a little boy in a green t-shirt and blue jeans, who cannot even say his own name! Finally, we found him playing at the security desk of Geant, nervous and aware he had done wrong by running away but not a tear in his eyes but with both of our eyes welling up with a mixture of emotions of anxiety and relief.
With parched throats we all hugged each other and made a silent vow never to let go again. Thank you Allah for bringing my boy safely back to me.

Happy Place
In those misty mornings, my heart was in a happy place…
The rain drops on the green grass outside my home
The muddy streets with corn peels strewn about
I waited for that familiar beep and sight, that smile, those eyes…
In those mid-night snacks, my heart was in a happy place…
The non-stop giggles and senseless banter, yet
The competitive spirit to beat and conquer
We were the ladders and the ropes, to push up and pull, to remain afloat…
In those rushed evening hours, my heart was in a happy place…
The tired yet unceasing hands and that cool affectionate smile
The anger and hunger and childish fights
One meal together, unbreakable bonds, giving the true meaning of life…
In those tipsy rendezvous’, my heart was in a happy place…
The evenings full of high spirits and thrill
The buddies and mates, all ready for something chilled
Each shared memory, to treasure and keep, to reminisce…

Fairytale Wedding (2nd December 2010- Tracy and Oliver)
A Castle, a Chariot and a colourful Rainbow
Nothing left to chance, preparations Galore!
A bride most graceful and a charming groom
followed by a band of colours in full bloom.
Family, friends and loved ones
To bless the couple, tons and tons
Life with meanings not yet explored
Await my sweet friend at her new abode!!

Moods of my love
For the love of my life who adds a spark to my each waking day...
Warm, tender, soft embrace
Firm, gentle, compelling ways
Wondrous, lively, naughty gaze
Grave, intense, somber days
Truly, My love,
You never cease to amaze!!

Our journey together!-- Veena's last day today in PB
Words cannot describe our relation in these last 4 years, yet this is my humble poem to say she is special to me in everyway and will always be!
To,
Veena,
Our journey together!
Our years together seem so short today
Now that you leave us, I feel I still have so much to say,
The moments we have spent together can never be erased
I will cherish those immensely in the coming days.
Ordering breakfast now is not going to be as much fun,
Tasting food before you eat it, won’t be needed to be done,
One wink, one nod, one nugde and one last laugh we share today,
Yet my heart is heavy with sorrow, as this is your last day!
Punctuality, cleanliness and organization I’ve always admired in you
Your caring, kind, warm and energetic nature is real and true.
Ours joys and sadness we have shared time and again
Your kind supporting words have always eased my pain.
Although we’ll miss you, I know you will be around
A phone, an email, a short walk away!
I wish you all the happiness, joys and success today
Hope all our memories together, always add smiles to your day!!
With Love
Sana Sayed Mone

Life Today
Boring, boring, boring days
Hope this is just a passing phase
Each day, I wake up with a half a mind
Drag out of bed and begin with the grind
Plop, plop, plop the drops of water fall
I can’t even be bothered to describe it all!
Long and tedious is the tread to work each day
Oh god! Couldn’t we just play for our bread and butter, I say!
Why, Oh! why, should I warm my seat all day
When all I want to do is have some fun and play.
Life is not all games, mom always says
What IS life exactly then, I’m still in a bit of a haze.
When the fun and games are out, everything becomes a little weary
Don’t know what’s the point then, it’s all so dreary.
I hope for better times, more rays of light
Encircling our lives with days more bright
Hopefully, work won’t always be such a drag
Of my laurels one day, I will surely be able to brag.

One last day
One last day we spend with you
Seems like the end but surely, that’s not true.
Times with you we will cherish forever,
Coz there’s not been a dull moment with you ever.
One last day we spend with you together
We’ve seen you transform and been thru tough times together,
You moved from a being a manager to a friend to a mother
You will be missed, you’re one of kind, there’s simply no other
Years will fly by and life will move on,
Children will grow up and tensions will be gone.
Then one day we will meet again
Hopefully, that time we will part with less pain.
We wish you good luck from the bottom of our hearts
It’s always so tough for good friends to part
Let’s hope for the best, as in the end,
You never know, we may meet soon at the next bend.
