Its fun to celebrate friendversary when you are not in 20’s. I know there is no age to celebrate friendship. But I am talking about “friendversary” – the facebook ‘thing’ which keeps appearing for yearly reminders.
Let’s not divert the topic. Our friendversary is celebrated in the last week of March for last 5 years. We are friends for more than 12 years but we celebrating for last five years. It was five years back that we officially (!) decided to name ourselves 'crazy girls' for indulging into not so crazy things as per our daughters.
Five years back, we decided to visit Palm Jumeirah boardwalk area particularly close to The Atlantis Hotel and enjoy sunrise with a hot cup of coffee that too on a Friday morning. We checked out at 5.30am (someone didn't forget to put on lipstick) with zafarani chai (safforn tea) and filter coffee. Not to forget, we had checked sunrise timing and left for Atlantis well in time. We were just in time, close to sunrise as we passed long underpass close to board walk near Atlantis. Somehow, the dawn was without shades of oranges and no signs of rising sun! All enthusiasm was turning into sadness when mother nature decided to support our crazy (!) initiative. Out of nowhere, sky decided to turn gray and clouds decided to turn crazy and it started raining...no sun, no sunrise! It's a different feel to enjoy rain in desert city like Dubai. We three middle aged ladies were more than happy to splash water on each other, enjoy titanic pose for photo and get drenched in the rain without bothering who is watching us. Filter coffee and Zafrani Chai was out of the world!
Wait... story doesn't end here. Two days later, our families enjoyed our rain soaked story and it was stamped that we are 'crazy girls', why?
We had gone to the WEST to see the SUN RISE!
