It's been 5 days to the journey and so far all good. I have visited lot of beautiful places and so much I have to share, but for that I will need some time. Only once I get back I will start writing about the trip, but today I want to share one small incident that happened yesterday, which was scary for all of us.

Finally, the travel day has arrived, I am so excited. Turkey is one of the places that I have on my list of places to travel in the world and now finally it's getting done. Next week is going to be Ramadan holidays so adding a few days more to that, we planned this 10 days' vacation. Me, hubby and son are all travelling together after 3 years on a holiday and that is exciting for me. Though it is not as rosy as you think also, it gets difficult to manage these 2 men sometimes, and they say the same for me as well...haha. We are already at the airport, check-in formalities are done and now waiting in the lounge, there is still time to board.

It's now 5 years to the Corona story and with those 5 years to even my own struggles with hubby's health. It was the same time when his Myasthenia condition became worst. When I look back at those days, I get goose bumps thinking of how fearful and traumatic they were. Everything was so uncertain then. 2020 was a year of disaster for me. Not only was it dealing with his health crises but during that time, we faced a major financial loss, which took away almost all our savings. I was thinking then, will we be ever able to recover from that extraordinarily huge dent that life had given to us. I was so uncertain even with hubby's life then, because even the Doctors were not sure.

Last evening I was at the Corniche and it was a surprise for me, the whole place had changed into a mini carnival. Last week when I had visited there was nothing here and then suddenly so much is there. The month of Ramadan is going on and in a few days' time it will be the festival of Eid, so I guess all this is to gear up for the festival. It was nice vibe, the place looked colorful and vibrant.

Yesterday was the festival of Nowruz, It's the Persian New Year and the celebration of start of the Spring season celebrated on the day of vernal equinox. Since the Zoroastrian roots are from the land of Persia, we too celebrate this festival. Within Zoroastrians there are 2 sects, which are Irani and Parsi, this is the festival of Irani's basically, but we Parsis too celebrate it, as our cultures are almost the same.
