Just A Thought!

"Ask yourself whether you are happy and you cease to be so" -- John Stuart Mill

Everything has been going great for quite some time now, which is very unusual. I must be doing something right! But I do believe the above quote by Mill to be true. A quick thought will just cross my mind how everything is almost perfect, no worries, and the next day a couple of problems will be waiting for me! How all good things end with just a thought. I just hope this "happy" phase will not be as short as I think it will be.

Trip to Hatta!

With nothing to do last Friday, the day before Eid al Adha, me and 3 colleagues from the office decided to go to Hatta. It was a last minute plan (well, hardly a plan if it's last minute!) but I have to admit we all had an excellent day out! We left early morning at 8am and reached home at 8pm! On the way, at about 10am we had our breakfast in the car, which was Puri and Halwa (and parathas) on the highway in Oman territory. We went to the Hatta dam, the Hatta fort museum and then to the best part of the trip, the wadis!! Through the rocky mountains, on long, winding and twisting, dusty roads. The weather was cloudy with tiny rays of sunlight coming through. We went into Oman, into a couple of villages, where all the locals wave at you. They know you're outsiders.

Amazing day! Don't think about it, go to Hatta during the winter season. You can FORGET about it in the summer!! It's too damn hot! We took over 200 pictures. Here are some of them...
