The Great Return: Destination DXB


So I am leaving for Dubai tomorrow!
RAW LIFE book launch is on Saturday in Dubai! (woohoo!)
:)
Even though i am excited about the launch I am even more excited about the fact that my entire family has decided to make a little family vacation out of my trip and are joining me! So kAy and jam fam have booked 5 days in dxb to chill and bond before i am shipped off to NYC for good!

Incase you guys are wondering why i am so nauseatingly excited about this is because jam fam have NOT taken any family vacation since 1991 together. Sure all of us have been on our own here and there, but a family vacation is a family vacation. And the new little addition we have in our lives (Nadi) will make this vacation even more awesome.

It feels funny going back to UAE after 18 years. I have amazing memories of spending the first 8 years of my life there. 8 amazing years which i remember vividly in great detail. 18 years. Not even a single visit since i came to Pakistan. And now i return...for my book launch. How odd is that?

wish me luck people and pray I do not forget my speech this time ;)

stay safe,
cheers

kAy

It's amazing how the stories told in these photo essays fit in different contexts ( same thing you mentioned in the tv interview). I'v been able to relate, more often than not-

Bon Voyage!

best of luck kay! i find that...when starting off on a new journey, it helps to revisit the stepping stones helped you reach this point...and to find closure in how far you've come and how far you've to go...a retrospect if you will. and this trip to dubai comes at a time when you are able to appreciate each moment of your life as a stepping stone that led you to your success..you know what i mean?
no? well...all i'm trying to say is that....by revisiting where you began, you are well prepared to move ahead.
all the best for the upcoming years....i hope you will continue to reconcile negative experiences and make magic through your photographs.
