MASTI AT THE JUMEIRAH BEACH, DUBAI
The other day, we all were at the Jumeirah Beach. It was an opportunity, a rare one indeed, to be on a beach, having fun and frolic. We had taken sufficient food stuff, drinks and chocolate milk along and enjoyed our day out, to the fullest. On the sands, we laid out the mat spreads, and the stuff brought was also arranged on it, though against the mild sea winds.
All of us, first of all, walked towards the sea and plunged into the waters. We were all bare feet, putting on cargo shorts. As we got into the water, All of us experienced the shiver of cool water and the hit of sea winds. Rama seemed overwhelmed seeing the mighty ocean before her, that she had earlier seen either only on the screen or as photographs. She enjoyed the feel of touching of sea water, its splash and standing into the sea herself, and was very happy and thankful to Vandana, her daughter, who enabled her to see the sea!
It was virtually a rare experience for me too, to walk into the sea against the mighty waives coming continuously one after the other, and while retreating back into the sea, took along with them, the sand from under the feet creating a mild sensation in the whole body. If you continuously stare at the coming waves, at a stretch, without blinking your eyes, you must feel giddy and may have a fall into the water. Many times I tried to go deeper with all my dare, and of course, also with hidden fear, but then you are nobody to challenge the mighty ocean!
Our little Saisha was more than happy. She was all shouting, laughing and calling everyone to join her while she tried to negotiate the small waives, at their fag end, and then came running back to safety. She tried her hand in making sand castles using all her skills, with small hands. I also joined her help made big sand castle with all my efforts in half an hour, little beyond from the reach of the waives. But Saisha was not lucky enough to save her castle for long, when suddenly a big, mighty and furious waive came and washed it away before our eyes! Sorry Saisha!!
Low flying helicopters over the beach attracted everyone's attention on the beach, to look skyward, the visitors enjoying the aerial view of the sea, sand dunes, beaches, man-made islands and the crescents. The Dubai city from the air is an impressive and truly unique sight. Flying along the coast by helicopter, the experience of which, will live long in the memory.
After feeling tired a little, we had our lunch, some sitting and some standing in the sands, changed clothes, packed, cleaned up the site, putting the waste into the bin, walked away from the beach and then further drove away to another beautiful beach, The Walk Marina Beach. Here we enjoyed sightseeing, walking around beautifully maintained and manicured green lawns, with nicely arranged and pruned hedges, amusement and children play parks, upcoming merry-go-round on the sea shore.

Hustle and bustle in the area surrounded by many reputed wayside restaurants and eateries, over looking shiny tall residential sky scrapers. A vast sea skyline in front of us gave an unlimited and amazing nazara of The Walk Marina and the World's only tallest Seven Star Hotel Burj Al Arab, constructed in the sea on the man-made island, showing up at the skyline!!
In the evening, driving back home, all through from The Walk, to the Business Bay residence, was yet another thrill!!
