• Thursday Doors: At Studio 1 hotel, Dubai

  

  I am addicted to Thursday Doors, but, haven’t participated in the last month or more as I hadn’t travelled and had no door pictures. But, as soon as I had the opportunity, I clicked a few pictures right away. These were taken during my recent trip to Dubai. They are doors of restaurants, in the […]

• Travel : Dubai – the place, the people, the food

• NaPoWriMo Day 28 – A special place

  

  Today’s (optional) prompt is brought to us by the Emily Dickinson Museum. First, read this brief reminiscence of Emily Dickinson, written by her niece. And now, here is the prompt that the museum suggests: Martha Dickinson Bianchi’s description of her aunt’s cozy room, scented with hyacinths and a crackling stove, warmly recalls the setting decades later. Describe […]
