The parting…

Hours 13 to 16... Eerily prophetic bed cover!   Off to the airport...   The "New Doha International Airport" - NDIA/ Hamad International Airport - HIA   Had absolutely NO time to wander about the "airport- mall" and duty free outlets.   The minimalistic but spotlessly clean changing rooms...   Looking for the boarding gate,...

The last supper..

Hours 1 to 12.... The "packing expert" fits everything but the kitchen sink, into three bags.   The Last Supper...Mister's choice.   Will sorely miss the morning cuppa together and the gossip and ranting that goes along...   A favoured breakfast at the H household!...   And finally...the last meal....   More to come... Till...

Lil’ Z heads to Al Ghariyah!

Morning lovely people! It's been a long time. A long HIATUS- see I have improved my VOCABULARY. All big words. Mama reads to me. I cannot speak yet, but I do think about them in my head! We have been keeping very busy. The road trips are few and far between. We have so many...

Of mighty Land Cruisers and indomitable human enthusiasm!

Morning folks! We headed off to another "beach" yesterday. Promises of gritty sand and blue waters in the air....

Lil Z will give you all the thrilling particulars...

Of festivities, sand dunes, beaches and barbeques!

Evening folks! All the rich, indulgent, almost sinful food had left us all lethargic and tardy. Getting out of bed this morning was an exercise in self- motivation. We had plans of getting out and about today, but nothing has materialized thus far. Hence the flurry of blog posts. The only reason I woke up...

Those in the middle-east will know what I am talking about. Yesterday was Zoe's Vaccination Day. And getting vaccinations in Qatar is always exciting. So much drama...

Of musical fountain induced introspection…

Have been meaning to write about the "Qatar Summer Festival" that has been on for a while now (since August 4). Had plans of visiting all the designated places, clicking pictures and sharing it with all my friends back home. It is due to culminate at the end of this month and I am yet...

Lil Z’s night trip to the Museum of Islamic Art Park.

Here are some pictures from an impulse trip we took last night! Entered the Museum of Islamic Campus and Park, only to beat the weekend traffic and the chaos at Corniche....   Mama's busy folks. She will speak to y'all tomorrow and give you all the details. Have a lovely weekend! Till the next adventure.......

Morning lovely people!We go on yet another “beachy” adventure....Since my last post, Mama and Papa have been keeping very busy. We hardly have time to go out.

Lil Z’s guide to Beaches in Qatar! Episode 1- Dukhan & Zekreet

Hello dear aunties and uncles! Long time, no see no? I’m sorry. But you see I was very busy the past few weeks. Rolling over, trying to make new sounds, sitting up- I had so much to do; and practice. I am happy to report that at five months I can sit with Papa and watch...
