Her sister, Ankita is your typical seventeen year-old filled with teenage angst. She reminds me of a sister I never had – opinionated and overly enthusiastic but mostly good at heart. For all the bravado, she still gets scared and refuses to go to the bathroom at night after the mere mention of ghost stories. She hates my sad jokes though but I’ll give her a few years until she learns to appreciate the subtle nuances and brilliance of the beauty of PJs (not the kind you wear, stupid!)
Yesterday we all went to her British school to see tiny tots caroling and it was a long time since I heard Christmas carols and considering that I had to visit an Islamic country for that is kinda strange. Bahrain, however is a pretty liberal Islamic country (like the UAE) and although a stone’s throw away (no offense meant toward the Palestinians) from Saudi Arabia it retains the sanity that is expected from Muslim countries. We did visit the Bahrain-Saudi border via the causeway where they have a high observatory more for observing brilliant sunsets than anything else. By the way, the first thing you see on the Saudi size is a big-size MacDonald’s; so much for opposing western consumerism, eh? More later.

“…the subtle nuances and brilliance of the beauty of PJs” How true! I belive that good PJ’s are truly a work of art and sheer genius! And those who cant understand that, just aint dome anything worthwhile in their lives.

Hi Patrix!
Welcome to Bahrain! glad you’re here and I’d love to meetup with you! Considering that you’re touring Bahrain at the moment and Bahrain’s national day is tomorrow, am wondering if you’d love to meetup and check out the Formula BMW World Final at the Bahrain International Circuit?
The BMW championships are happening today and tomorrow, and even if racing really isn’t your thing - it would still give us the chance to chat, would be wonderful to finally meet a Desipundit blogger in person :-)
I can be reached on 39053580 or angelo.embuldeniya at gmail.
Looking forward to hooking up with you soon,
cheers!
BTW, you can catch the rest of the bloggers in Bahrain over here: bahrainblogs.org

M, as more personal stuff happens that I can share or rather want to share, then my blog posts will reflect that. Will be returning to India the third time so I don’t think I have any probs returning back to the US.
Angelo, nice to hear from you…looking fwd to meeting you soon.
