Tasneem Rajkotwala
Distracted, enthusiastic housewife and a mum of a toddler living as an expat in Dubai. I am a dreamer and love to pen what I see, think and feel. I will be rambling about my life and experiences in this magic land! I am living a life I've always imagined. Love my husband and son beyond words can describe. You cannot call me blunt but I hate hypocrites and keep them at a distance. I sing loudly and alot - in my bathroom ofcourse!
