one night in dubai

reporting from dubai... the night, in brief

glittery saris and indian-inspired embroidery in all colours of the rainbow - never in my life have i felt more dull - knew i should've worn my sequinned indian skirt!

alcohol on free flow; surprisingly, i did NOT get tipsy at all

scored some henna on my hands, palms and back - beautiful, B-E-A-UTIFUL. these women have been doing it for 15 to 30 years! that's even longer than i've been alive!

waiting for henna to dry; unable to go to the loo, wash my hands or eat,

dancing with hyperactive old men to the sounds of techno bollywood-esque beats, hands up in the air. feet hurt, took off my shoes and danced barefoot onstage

bollywood films projected against the white wall - aishwarya rai, hrithik roshan

gorgeous women in gorgeous clothes, envy.

FOOD, GLORIOUS FOOD! a range of different curries, <3


one day i will have a villa like this...
