…in search of culture and some old world charm I find myself wandering around in the narrow alleys of Bastakiya traditional wind-tower architecture, beautiful arabian courtyards, walls adorned with oil lamps away from the hussle and bussle of the busy city outside.. quaint corners with pink bougainvilleas, carved wooden doors, cobblestone streets also home to burgeoning art scene huge ghaf trees giving shade, birds chirping softly in the background all transporting me back to a bygone era.. clearly telling me this is where my heart lies this is where I find solace this is what I seek, an old world charm!
