.. She put a Spell on You!!!!

All through the evening she shimmered and shone, like a glittering diamond in the evening sky, commanding your attention, not letting you look anywhere but in her direction. Like a spear piercing the sky, or like a toothpick (as it is known) in the Dubai skyline, she had you at “Hello”!

The more you stared at her, more you couldn’t help but fall in love with her, be seduced by her charms. She had that ability to cast a spell on you. So all through the evening you had eyes just for her. There could be a million of things happening around but you couldn’t take your eyes off her, she commanded your attention, and you couldn’t help but do as she commanded.

So as the clock slowly creeped towards midnight you joined the other of her paramours who gathered to admire her beauty, patiently waiting for her to put on a show. With baited breath you waited for her, and she kept teasing with her shimmer and shine of her laser light show, which although you couldn’t view,  you knew was taking place.

As the clock struck 12 she lit up the sky, putting on a show making the wait worth it, dazzling with beauty, radiant as ever. Lighting up the the 31st night (or was it the 1st morning, which technically would be right). You couldn’t help but be left spellbound, picking up your jaw from the floor from where it lay. Words seem to have deserted you cause you struggle to find the right one to describe what you see, what you are witnessing, her beauty. She leaves your mesmerised and dumbfounded. You try and take it all in, to capture it not just your device, but in your memory that will continue to remain with you long after the moments has gone.

So once the moment is ended you can’t help but join the other paramours, applauding what you have just witnessed, but secretly hoping if it could go on forever. You are spellbound at what you have just seen, you don’t want to leave the place or forget the moment, but you got to go, carry that moment as a memory that will remain with you forever. You may be sad to leave her but then that’s what you have to do. So in the end its another year in the bag, and you leave with a sweet memory of the evening with the Burj Khalifa.
