newbie here..
Finding my way thru this.. so people, please be nice 
Mama bear here..(by saying this I ward off the slightest possibility of trash talking..he..he..)
I happened to read one of the threads and it said that OP had no interest in making friends with some 'boring housewives'..OUCH OUCH..I am a housewife..well not boring though..still I went ouch ouch..
Anyways..I'm in here to meet up with good people, have a healthy relationship, meaningful conversations over cuppa/indian masala tea..
)..try out new recipes, have playdates, organise a craft day, help the unfortunate..in lil way possible..
ok..i guess thats enough rambling..but seriously, looking forward to meeting genuine people here in Dubai.
HAPPY WEDNESDAY..
