And Then It All Ended........

Some of the best decisions are made using much of the heart and less of the head. I made a huge one today and it feels great. It's been on my mind for the past 6 months or so. Looking back, it feels crazy to have sat on a single decision for a good 150 days, but the point is, that it is finally made and done with. Tonight I sleep in peace, with nothing bothering my mind or soul. Do I feel guilty? Ahem.. probably just as guilty as as having over eaten ice cream.

What have I to lose and what have I to gain? There comes a point when you just don't care about your gains and losses, but follow your heart and only your heart and trust the universe to take you to your next destination.

The world has stopped spinning around me. My mind is clear and there are no emotions taking over, other than just a glint of sadness. It feels like a crappy ending of a beautiful relationship that just couldn't stand the test of time.

People function beautifully when there is absence of fear. They blossom in to pretty lil flowers, rare & exotic, but it's a cycle, they eventually whither & die.

Red Box - A Taste of Sri Lanka Indeed

Had to put in to words the awesomeness of the Sri Lankan food relished at Red Box located in Qusais, while the food is still in my belly. The much anticipated trip was finally made this evening.

Ambiance - Not so Sri Lankan, Chef Lanka does it better. The modern hip hop and pop played was a turn off, but the waiters are friendly, and overall the place is homely.

Variety - Not too many, probably coz it's still a virgin venture.

Drawbacks - No rice and curry during dinner, no buffet and no Ginger Beer :(

But on the whole it was heaven on earth for us deprived Sri Lankans in Dubai and away from the hub. And so the order for two went like this.....

String hoppers - AED 12

Hoppers (4 plain and one egg hopper) - AED 12

Prawn Curry - AED 16

Beef Curry (Spicy as hell) - AED 16

Wood Apple Drink - AED 8 each

Tea (as per the typical Sri Lankan flavour) - AED 2.50 each

Thrilled and way over the moon to finally have a Sri Lankan restaurant which is cheap, clean and scrumptious in the neighbourhood. Unfortunately, they do not deliver during the day and I don't eat solids during the night......either way, can't wait to go back for the second experience.
