#vegetariandinner #meatfreemeals With vegetables like broccoli, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers and black olives oven-grilled to perfection, and the cheese oozing from the crisp crust, Bakemart Gourmet is my favorite pick for a solid great-tasting pizza. Bye bye to fast food pizza orders and hello to Bakemart! 😍😋P.S. Bakemart started off as a bakery. So believe me. They know how to bake an amazing pizza crust!

#dussehra2019 Meaning “the annihilation of the one with ten heads”, Dusshera celebrates the victory of Lord Rama over the ten-headed demon Ravana. In many states across Northern and Western India, a series of drama-dance-music plays based on ancient Indian texts Ramayan and Ramcharitmanas (Ramlila) are performed at outdoor fairs. Huge effigies of the demons Ravana, Kumbhakarna and Meghanath are burnt on bonfires in the evening of Dussehra. This performance arts tradition during the Dussehra festival was also recognized by UNESCO as one of the "Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity" in 2008. #incredibleindiaofficial

#navratri During Navratri, huge images of Goddess Durga are created by specialized potters and sculptors. Depicting her destructon of the demon Mahishasura, the images stand tall with their vivid bright colors and ornate decoration. Pandals are erected and are lit up with colored lights and red flags. On the tenth night of Navratri called Vijayadashami or Dusshera, the images of Goddess Durga are immersed in rivers or water reservoirs. #throwbacksaturday

#dessertgram #lebanesefood Referring to the quiz I had a few days ago, this mystery dessert is Aych El Saraya. Working on a post, sipping on hot tea, taking a bite off Aych El Saraya… it’s my idea of a productive afternoon. A layered cake of bread pudding and Ashta, Aych El Saraya comes garnished with crushed pistachios and sugar syrup on the side. Like most Arabic and Lebanese sweets, this luxurious dessert at Al Halabi uses Ashta (also known as “Kashta”). Ashta is a clotted cream prepared with rose water and orange blossom water, and is known as the king of fillers.

#gandhijayanti Celebrating Gandhi Jayanthi in memory of the man who inspired millions of Indians to fight for independence. A man who inspired millions more beyond the shores of India, including legendary heroes like MLK and Nelson Mandela. A man who inspired me to be the change I wish to see in the world. Fact: During campaigning from 1913 to 1948, Mahatma Gandhi walked around 79,000 kilometres, which is the equivalent to walking around the Earth twice.

#emirati #historicmoment As a proud resident of the UAE, this is a momentous occasion for all of us. Hazzaa AlMansoori makes history as the first Emirati astronaut to successfully launch (along with two of his comrades) a space mission to the International Space Station from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Wishing him my heartiest congratulations and the very best of luck. You are an inspiration for Arab youth and for every young person around the world, that despite our struggles and frustrations, we can truly touch the sky. Thank you sir. You have made the entire Arab world proud. 🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪
