There's peace in seeing the sunsets, because thats when you know who to thank. ●Al-Mussawir -The Artist● . Since a very long time now, I've been actually craving to see a good #sunset. And those who love the sky like I do, would know how it is to actually 'crave' such a thing. Not gonna lie when I say I go to the #beaches more for the s#ky than the sea! And then, it's like God had planned a treat for me yesterday. 🙌🏻 . So I went to @lamerdubai yesterday to enjoy all the little things that make me #happy. Mild winter wind through comforting warmth of the sun, watching my #sonshine befriend the sea, stuffing my face with comfort food. But it all became vague the moment I saw the most beautiful sunset I've ever seen in my almost 4 years in #MyDubai.🇦🇪 It looked like a #painting. Or rather how we artists try to make our paintings look like the art of Almighty.🎨 . And in that moment, I just all I could feel (apart from mesmerized) was #grateful. To God. For the sight to see the many #colors in the sky, for the ability to enjoy my own company, the ability to feel comfort in moments, to understand why one of Allah's name is 'Al-mussawir' [the Artist], and upon hearing the Magrib prayer after the sun had set understanding that the sun sets so there's a sunrise later, that the endings can be beautiful!🔆 . . Shameless spam of more pictures (no filter at all- the sky was more pink that it appears here) and hyperlapse video plus a video with the Magrib Azaan on my story today.😍 . . . . . #beachday #beachplease #instascenex #instatravel #explore #wanderlust #photography #vscocam #samsungs8 #mobilephotography #photography #scenic #nature #lifestylebloggers #instadubai #dubaibloggers #exploredubai #f4f #l4l #instaart

●Sach?● . Been inactivate yet again on my insta-blog (except on stories) since I've been in Karachi because: 1. Spending time with family. 2.Collecting creative content for my blogs in #Pakistan has been a greater task than it is in #Dubai ofcourse but those who saw my stories last weekend sent me comments appreciating my effort to show the lesser known, more #colorful side of #Karachi and that's exactly what keeps me going. Shukria for taking time out to #appreciate. 🔆 . Also, it's sad how basic ethics such as appreciation, courtesy and honesty has become worthy of being thanked for in our culture. Its that rare. Not like I've seen how generations before ours lived but I've seen other #cultures and met people from other #ethnicity and it's sad how what our religion teaches is better adopted by the people of other beliefs abroad!🤷🏻‍♀️ . Talking of #Sach, I often wonder if 'honesty is the best policy' always. And the recent incident of the suicide of the BNU student in Lahore and her recent captions clearly indicate she was a victim of harsh words, insensitivity and bluntness, either directly or indirectly. Like we all are. Like I am when I am skinny-shamed or mommy-shamed or bad-muslim-shamed! 🙌🏻 But all we do is smile. Which also equates to ignoring pyar se. Until the frustration just builds up! . 🔆And that's when you know the fine line between Sach and Muu-phatt is erased. The line between Fact and opinion is erased. The line between Concern and Opinion is erased.🔆 . . . 📸 @communeartistcolony by YBQ, Karachi. [More on the blog soon]

●Series: Crafters of Pakistan● . I have a thing for unusual and little collectibles. 🙆🏻‍♀️ Last year I stumbled upon this #crafter @farihamadeit who was selling handpainted eggs with iconic leaders, stars and celebrities on them! This year she's ventured into digital art as well.👌 . Came across this unusual form of craft and many more creative, colorful and artistic crafters last year at @theguildofcraft event "The Crafters Expo" and if you love buying #creative stuff for your home, yourself or your friends, this is the place to be this week! 🙌🏻 🔆"The crafter's Expo 2018" happening at @royalrodale.official Karachi on 2nd December.🔆 . Love the event enough to have postpones my flight back to home shortly after this event instead of my initial plan to fly out a day before this! This is the only kinda #shopping I absolutely look forward to! #artlovers👩‍🎨 . How many of these characters can you identify? Swipe right for Mr.PM!

●Series: Crafters of Pakistan● . "Bhabi" says this golden urdu calligraphy on this beautiful marble stone. This means 'Sister in Law' in Urdu (for my non-desi followers) and was bought as a gift to me by my Sister-in-law who accompanied me to an event called 'Crafters expo' in Karachi, Pakistan. This is from my trip to Pakistan exactly 1 year ago. . So we had a quick conversation with the man behind this brand and his personality really got me to go check out his Facebook page the other day.. and boy, am I impressed or what? This gentleman is extremely talented and well-versed in the field of #art. Mr. Amir Mirza has been a teacher at renowned institutions such as IVS, Szabist and KU, and possesses knowledge of art, #design and #psychology. His brand is called @hunarpaaray and offers a wide range of beautiful (would classify some as actually cute) things with #urdu #lettering and #calliagraphy that would make amazing personalised gift items and collectibles.👐 Swipe though for a #sneakpeak. Go check out his work on Instagram and Facebook, you'll know why I fell in love with it. 😍 . . More of such gorgeous art and craft will be available at @theguildofcraft event "The crafters Expo" happening at Royal Rodale Karachi on 2nd Dec! Mark your calenders and stay tuned for more #Creative shoutouts on my feeds before and after the event. . .

●The Golden Sun of Crystals● . Resharing my pictures with one of the most mesmerizing #art #installations I've ever seen.🙌🏻 This is a #swarovski structure consisting of 8000 Crystal droplets forming a golden sun that that depicts the concept of birth and rebirth!🔆 (Swipe left to read details and have a closer look at it!) . Pretty cool right? There were a lot more #creative art installations by furniture to automobile to #lifestyle brands coming together to put together the most creative exhibition that Dubai sees every year: @dubaidesignweek 🇦🇪 . Extremely sad about missing it this year after attending it for the last 2 years because I'm travelling outside UAE at the moment but everyone who likes creativity and art even a little bit MUST go here at @dubaidesigndistrict.d3 to check it out before it ends tonight!!!👌 . . . . . . 🙆🏻‍♀️Follow @maharat.m for more #creativePlaceswithMaharat . #d3 #dubaidesignweek #dubaidesigndistrict #mydubai #instadubai #igersdubai #uae #bloggersofuae #artbloggers #lifestylebloggers #f4f #l4l #exhibition #dubaievents #expatlife #travel #explore #dxbdw

●Girl you got this●♀️ . The title that kinda tames the #anxiety in me before I've written my thoughts/tasks/ideas now!✏ . Ever since my first job, which was actually as a #Strategy planner for brands, I've developed this habit of writing down everything that needs to be done, or sorted, or understood! 🙆🏻‍♀️ And just like that my job title was soon my personality trait! . And then my next job was as a full time mother. Paid in hugs and kisses but required more #planning than my 4 years at IBA or my few years at job. Thanks to mommy-brains, I'd forget half the things I had to get done all by myself and so writing it all down yet again saved me from the "oh no"s that could have followed.🤦🏻‍♀️ . The next task I took upon myself was to get into #arts. Basically #painting and #writing about art. So that too required planning my deliveries (of paintings) and blog collaborations (for art events and brands) which meant all the more reasons to buy notebooks.🙌🏻 . In short. I need a reason to buy me a planner/notebook! Noone knows this better than my husband who after years of telling me "you don't need a new planner for everything new you start Maha" decided to buy me a 2019 planner from my ever so favorite @typoshop on my birthday in August 2018!🥂 #SeekhGayaLarka . This notebook in the picture is Also from #Typo Dubai! _ Am I the only notebooks/planners hoarder or is anyone else out there a crazy-notebook-lover as well?📒 . . . . . . . . . #collection #writer #stationary #books #reader #bookstagram #bloggersofdubai #bloggersofpakistan #creative #lifestyle #creativity #artbloggers #f4f #l4l #girlpower #feminism
