For this week @LadiesofHive - Contest # 198 questions are:

1️⃣ Many times in adulthood, as a mother ~or~ with a lot of work and little free time, it's good to meet up with our friends. How long has it been since you've shared moments of laughter with your friends?
~ 𝐀𝐍𝐃 / 𝐎𝐑 ~
2️⃣ In friends, we can continue to see great teachers who add experiences to our lives. Why wait for a special date to say I love you, remember to express what you feel for your friends, a letter, a memory, and share your feelings.

For me friends are an important part of my life. I have a small family and most of them live in different cities. In Mumbai at my permanent home it's just me, hubby and Son and in Muscat where I live right now temporarily it's just me and hubby so it's always our friends that I spend my leisure time with. Life does get very busy at times. Since the past few months now that I am so occupied with my Home stay business, I barely get time to spend leisurely. I have to manage 3 homes, one here in Muscat, one in Mumbai city where my son lives and the third one is the new home that got built up recently.

With all of this I still want to spend time with my friends whenever possible. The best time for me to catch up with them is late evening and I do this regularly. Twice a week for sure I spend time with them and let myself go free. Last 2 weeks that I was in Mumbai almost every alternate day I was out with some or the other friend. We do not have any fixed days to catch up nor do we have any formalities between us. We call up each other, check if free and plan to meet up.
Sometimes we plan to go to a restaurant for dinner, or sometimes we go clubbing and at times just sit at home and chit chat. There is nothing fixed.

In these last 2 weeks I had multiple moments of fun and laughter with my friends. This particular evening was a lot of fun, it was our ladies meet up. One of my very close friend had come down from London and hence we planned for this meet up. We had loads of fun this night, all girls talk and then we danced past midnight.

This was another evening with a friend. She called me up at around 9 p.m. and asked me if I was in a mood to indulge on some sweets and my reply was an instant yes. These deserts at one of our favorite restaurant called Eve were heavenly. While having our deserts we had loads to talk about and lots to laugh on. By the time we finished we were stuffed and then decided to walk up home.

Remembering these sweet moments also brings a smile on my face.
