FAMILY <strong>BEYOND</strong> HOME<br />

WHAT PEOPLE SAID!<br />

KAVITHA K NAIR, DUBAI<br />

Shipra Bharadwaj, a yoga trainer from Dubai<br />

Family beyond home is like a breath of fresh mountain air that<br />

relieves and revives you, enriches and empowers you. Honest<br />

advisers, best critics, they are everything you need and more.<br />

Every once in a while you go to the mountains to feel alive and<br />

breathe in their freshness, for new perpectives on old things,<br />

strength for breaking barriers and norms and doing all this for<br />

them in return as well. Pure love is given for pure love recieved.<br />

They are your world outside of your home.<br />

For Amrina Kazi, “Family beyond home is family indeed as<br />

relationships are not limited to boundaries"<br />

Here is what Sithara Sethumadhavan has to say . For me family<br />

isn't just home, or related by blood. Sometimes I feel family at a<br />

friend's house when I bond over a cup of tea. I feel family when I<br />

help a mommy watch her little one while she runs an errand. I<br />

feel like I am family, when I am just dancing with my girlfriends.<br />

Family is about belonginess, feeling loved and wanted. That can<br />

happen anywhere, you just need to have your soul and heart to<br />

accept it.<br />

Reshmi Hareesh Nair, Kuwait says :- Just a few good friends<br />

around makes my life fun filled and exciting. Having them<br />

around with whom I can be myself. I dont think twice before i<br />

speak to them ‘coz I know they take me as I am... Some I meet<br />

once a year or so, yet very close to heart... Some I converse very<br />

rarely and yet hear me more precisely...and some I haven’t even<br />

met... and yet very close buddies... they are always beside<br />

me....and makes my family beyond home!<br />

Priji Biju, an Engineer in Dubai says Family away from home is<br />

made with a strange bonding experience and it becomes sweeter<br />

when that constitutes of our close pals from college days.The<br />

extended families have become so much integrated that little<br />

kids find it difficult to diffentiate between their biological<br />

relatives and family friends..Everyone becomes uncles and<br />

aunts and cousins for them. Expat life truly redefines the<br />

boundaries of a Family, thereby creating a beautiful home away<br />

from home.<br />

Bindu K Nair a Home Maker in Dubai feels as an expat living in<br />

the UAE, away from home & family, my new friends & neighbors<br />

have always truly proved to be my Family Beyond Home.<br />

A wonderful relationship irrespective of religions, culture,<br />

language, etc our Family Beyond Home is here to stay.
