Alight! Flipping through past pages

This chandelier sets the mosque alight... and alive.

While flipping through my travels to the northern areas of Pakistan, I selected this beautiful chandelier in a mosque in Rawalpindi.

O Glorious Sunset

Olive Garden

Two food lovers go to this warm Italian restaurant. This place has only goodness to offer.

We are offered some homemade bread out of the wood oven and olive dipped in olive oil to go with it. Of course this would be incomplete with out some butter.

We order a Pizza and Pasta, some Saudi Champagne to go with it. 

The food is right out of the oven, delicious and tantalizing. 

The sweet and delicate herbs with flavoured cheese and savoury sauces break havoc on the taste buds.

Simply Incredible.

The ambiance adds miles and miles to the journey we make towards eating. Our senses are drunkenly transported away to some far country side.

And on our way out, neat piles colored of earthen ware bid farewell.

I feel like a big fat cat who has smugly indulged and feels the warm fuzz all over.

and in the end, goodbye to The Altar of Happiness... for now.

An Altar to Happiness

A Wooden Secret

I fell in love with this piece of furniture. It seems to smile, just a simple smile with a twinkle in the eye saying, "I can hide things beautifully".

Saudi Champagne

When I first came to Saudia, I was hyped up about this drink by my husband. He kept it all hushed up and didnt reveal the contents till we went out and had our very first drink.

The most unique thing about it is that its non alcoholic and absolutely fresh.

How to Make it:

Cut, slice or dice Oranges (with peel), Apples and a bit of Lemon.

Fresh Mint

Apple Juice and Soda

Stir.

Drink.
