My Return?

I tried starting this post a few times, but they were no good. There is a possibility I'm just going to delete this and start over, and for some reason I decided to share that with you.

I really do not know what to say. Should I apologize for leaving this blog with no notice? Should I just ignore that and continue like it never happened? Should I...? That's not the point. The point is that I truly don't know where to begin. Maybe talking about how I don't know where  to start is a pretty good starting point. 

Okay, past that. I am not very sure of where I left of a few years ago. I'm just going to do a quick little recap on my life from 3 years ago. 

So 2011, I moved to Dubai and I went to school there for two years. Last summer, I injured my knee and I had to go to India to get an ACL reconstruction. I then moved to Qatar in September and I had to go to my new school wearing a knee brace. I continued to wear this through December, when I was allowed to take it off. I couldn't really do sports, so for an entire term, I just sat on the benches during PE, and I didn't even go in Sports Day. I went to Steel Pans as ECA and I'm finding really fun. Now, I'm almost done with my first school year in Qatar, and it really has been a wonderful year. I have made a lot of great friends who welcomed me to the school with open arms. Also, as of yesterday, I am now 14. 

So there you have it. A basic summary of the last 3 (?) years of my life.  Along with it, an apology. An apology for leaving the blog I put so much effort and brainpower into. 

I guess this is it then. How do I end these? I should've probably looked back at old posts, but whatever. I'm all up for trying new things. 

Goodbye. For now.

Apologies...



I know I haven't written in a while - no excuses are good enough. However, I do owe an explanation -
so here goes.

Since my last post:


  • School is giving us loads of homework. 
  • My swimming is important to me and my coaches are tough.
  • My music exams keep me glued to the guitar.
  • Since I have managed to make some friends in the neighbourhood, I enjoy my time playing. cycling and generally goofing around with them.
  • Lately, the weather has changed - and we have had family picnics and BBQ's.
  • My baby brother has started making 3 word sentences, so I love to spend a lot of time with him and hear the funny pronunciation.
  • Weekend mornings are on the beach.
  • We have had friends and family visiting us.
  • Sleepovers with friends take up one day of the weekend.
  • Had a busy time during Halloween, Diwali.


The list could go on and on. However, I have made a conscious decision to write at least once a week.

Thank you for being there and reading and coming back often.

Wake up shake up Vs Kris Fade

OK , so lets start at the very beginning...do you have Wake Up Shake Up in your school ??? For the less initiated WUSU ( Wake Up Shake Up) is a 10-15 min of easy contemporary routines on a pop song. The whole school  ( along with a teachers ) participates and this is supposed to wake you and shake you before for the day ahead ! It is meant to be fun but  honestly, I was never a fan of it.

And besides who needs WUSU when you have Kris Fade on Virgin Radio Dubai !  This guy is a ROCK STAR .. You have to listen to him just once and you are hooked ! Aired from 6 am to 10 am.. my day starts with my dad's hug and Kris Fade . He brings the smile on my face and even while I drag myself to brush my teeth, my mind is up and about.He's basically the only reason I love my drive to school because I can listen to K Fade. His humor , wit , pranks and uber-cool !

Music is my medicine and have no doubt about it. There are shows when you want to RJ to stop talking and play the music, but here it's the other way round. I love his Harmonica , his crazy calls ,  "What's in my mouth?" ( I actually guessed the answer right once but I didn't win anything). My dad loves " What's Rossi Reading " and my mom loves the Hollywood gossip , while my 21 month old brother just loves the music .

I think all schools who have these WUSU should stop this programme and get The Breakfast Show streamed into the school announcing systems. Then they would get the point of WUSU (since it would definitely wake us up) Now wouldn't that be cool?

For those who have missed out..don't fret you can stream it on your phones and comps and listen live. Just click on the image below.
Listen LIve
Go Kris go....whoop ! whoop !! Make it L-A-R-G-E.
