My Oman Life

S
#1

I first came to Oman on the 14th of May, 1991.

It was a new experience for me, right from Carter Road in Bandra to Wadi Kabir in Muscat.

It was difficult for a 25 year old to adjust from the colorful life of Bandra to the hot and arid surroundings of Wadi kabir.

3 months were difficult to pass, the work culture and friendly people around helped me in settling down. I was in good company, officially as well as personally. After a year it was love with Oman, the culture, traditions, the friendly people of Oman made me stay almost 20 years. I left finally in 2015 and settled in Mumbai, India.

I feel Oman is my second home.

September, 2023 I returned to Muscat after 8 years to start a business. I feel like I never left Oman.
