An unabashed Arien with a flair for the flamboyant and a penchant for paradoxes. I’m a sapiosexual soul who finds poetry in prose, rhythm in recipes, and thrill in Thesauruses. While most unwind with fiction, I curl up with a dictionary — marvelling at words like susurrus and petrichor, and occasionally waging war against poor spelling.

I oscillate between being delightfully unhinged and charmingly precise. A hedonist with a conscience, a gourmet with opinions, and a go-getter who occasionally presses snooze. Life, for me, is a charcuterie board of curiosity, connection, and curated chaos — best enjoyed without stress, served with humour, and garnished with a side of spontaneity.

I detest drudgery, loathe mediocrity, and have an allergic reaction to unnecessary seriousness. If it doesn’t ignite joy, spark intrigue, or make me laugh, I’m politely uninterested. I love deeply, drive aimlessly, cook passionately (on good days), and critique with surgical precision — especially when it comes to misplaced apostrophes.

Having spent over 25 years in the UAE, I’ve grown roots in the sand and wings in the skyline. Professionally, I wear titles. Personally, I wear my heart, my quirks, and my Spotify playlist on my sleeve. This blog is a compendium of musings, meals, mishaps, memories — and moments that refuse to fit into a LinkedIn box.

If you’re here for a standard bio — I’m afraid you’ve taken a wrong turn. But if you’re here for the gloriously unfiltered, grammatically correct, grammatically obsessed journey — you’re home.
