Change - the new normal

no we are not talking of loose change [we live after all in a plastic economy where change is passé]. we are returning to our blog after over a year [where did the time go?]. 2015 was a year of several changes, some minor, some tectonic, all refreshing.

first off, we changed house thrice in the space of 2 months. and in a move that tested our nerves, we moved to sharjah. apparently the culture capital of this country but currently the stationary-car-on-the-road capital. thankfully the spirits protecting this bedou heard his yelps of help and made him move back to dobuy [the sharjah place was shut down by the authorities in a fit of pique over unpaid dues]. we are now safely ensconced in noo dobuy.

then, we changed jobs. after 9 years in the job that got us to dobuy in the first place we finally gave up hope of getting rich through advertising and left the industry. neither the industry nor we seem to have missed each other - the ads are still as bad as ever and our BP is still normal. we moved into yet another start-up and so far its been good. our battered self-esteem is reviving although the bank balance is still under 6 fathoms.

third, we changed cars! we are now the proud owner of 'erbie - a 7-year old french lass who likes to go topless occasionally. barring some minor nips and tucks she is in good shape so far and has given us some good rides.

finally we changed our FB status. not something that we will talk about on this forum, for reasons of privacy.

so yes, its been a rather hectic few months. while we thrive on change, sometimes we do wish to pause, catch our breath and savour the present. c'est bon n'est-ce pas!?
