Living in Qatar and working as a flight attendant means my sense of time is permanently flexible. Breakfast might happen at midnight. Sleep comes in fragments. Home is measured not in days, but in layovers. From the outside, the job looks glamorous—perfect uniforms, international destinations, polished smiles. The truth is more layered, much like the…

Most people imagine my life as a series of postcards—desert sunsets, luxury cabins, perfectly pressed uniforms. The truth lives somewhere between takeoff lights and the quiet hum of an aircraft at cruising altitude. Based in Qatar, my days begin when most cities are asleep. The alarm rings at odd hours, and my body has learned…

Living in Doha and working as a flight attendant has turned my life into a rotating carousel of time zones, cultures, and stories I never expected to collect. People often imagine the job as glamorous—perfect uniforms, polished smiles, and sunsets above the clouds. And yes, there’s some of that. But behind the service announcements and…

I never thought my life would be measured in flight hours and time zones, but here I am — a flight attendant based in Qatar, living between the sky and the desert. People imagine it’s glamorous, and sometimes it is, but most days it’s something more unexpected: surreal. My journey begins long before boarding. It…

People often think being a Qatar-based flight attendant is all about travel, luxury hotels, and perfect uniforms — and while there’s some truth to that, what it really teaches you is something deeper: how small the world is, and how big people’s hearts can be.

One evening, over chai and sarcasm, my cousin dared me to create a profile on one of those Indian matrimonial apps. “Just to see what kind of rishtas (proposals) you get,” she laughed. I rolled my eyes. But curiosity and boredom got the better of me. Within ten…

As I walk through Hamad International Airport in heels, hair slicked into a bun, burgundy hat angled just right. Some people stare, some admire, and others are curious. To them, I am a symbol of luxury and wanderlust. To me, I’m just reporting for duty. I’m a flight attendant based in Qatar. My office? A…

Many people romanticize my job. They ask me, “You must love travelling,” they say, imagining champagne in Paris or shopping in Milan. I smile politely because that’s what I’m trained to do. But the truth is far more than that, being a flight attendant based in Qatar is more discipline than a dream. Our days…

I didn’t grow up dreaming of flying. It just happened: a job interview, a plane ticket to Doha, and suddenly, I was living in the Middle East, dressed in burgundy, serving meals at 40,000 feet. Now, the world feels both enormous and weirdly repetitive. New countries every week, but the same hotel rooms, same safety…
