Art
I could never fly an airplane, but whenever I create a detailed model of an airplane, it gives me the same kind of an adrenaline rush that flying a fighter jet would have offered me. meditation for me because each piece takes months to complete and handling those small and tiny paper parts requires my utmost concentration and it carries me to another universe where it's just me, my paper modeling tools and my curiosity. It's my "happy place". What advice would you say to aspiring artists? Try out things, be a doer of things, rather than just thinking about doing things. You need to get out of your comfort zone in a quest to find your passion. Don't plan much, there will never be a perfect day, start NOW. Which part of Bahrain is your favourite and why? I love Bahrain as a country for its diversity, inclusivity and respect for the huge expat population. I have 2 favorite places in Bahrain, first is the balcony of my apartment (Juffair Heights) that faces westwards, I love spending time in my balcony where I get the best of the ideas and my favorite thing is watching sunset everyday. And second favorite place is Bahrain Bay for it's beautiful sunrise. n
