السلام عليكم

تحيه طيبه للجميع

I wish that everyone is enjoying the weekend like I am doing. I thought of writing this post before heading down for the BBQ that is made on my honour.

I will divide this topic into 2 episodes for my convenience. I wanted to write this post again in arabic but because my keyboard does not have arabic and the sequence of arabic letters in mac is different from the usual windows so again pardon me for that.

Well, to be quick, in this 1st episode I want to point out the things I have noticed so far in Bahrain and the change in Behaviour in Bahrain. I will put them in bullet points so that it would be more easier for you to read.

1. People's driving manners are changing for the worse. Sooner or later we will be like saudi or Qatari people in driving. Many people nowadays drive carelessly and disobeying the traffic signs and rules like they were made to be broken. These people think that they are the kings and queens of roads and disturbing other people on the road who are trying to drive safely and peacfully. Roads and streets simply became ground of chaos and danger. My licence will expire in July 2007 and I promise that no renewals will be made to it. Tito won't drive anymore here.

2. Some streets, and public places became grounds for wooing, courtshipping, lovemaking or whatever the word is. There are many places like that, which includes Juffair, Jid Ali, Bo-Kwaarah, Yam Yam tree in Sanad and many many others that you will probably know better than me. You will see there all sort of ill personalities and young blood trying to hunt down the other sex with their looks, behaviour and cloths. You will see boys with weird hair cuts and girls smoking in public and many other acts that will make you ask yourself "what the F*** ??". These people only copy the fashion and styles that they see in movies and video clips without knowing that in the west , the majority of people and youngesters like them do not behave and look like they do. My advice to them "Grow up and be true men and ladies!!).

3. The huge number of expatriates (Indians, Syrians are the biggest so far) that are invading our country. This huge number shows the random act of naturalisation. For example go to the airport, you will feel like you landed in Mumbai or Lahore airport and not in Bahrain. If one Indian is arriving from his homecountry, you will see here in Bahrain's airport that 20 expats have come along to meet him!!! When I first arrived here a week ago and was in the arrival hall, wallah I lost track of my parents among these Indians and even when I found my mom she asked me have you seen your father, I said " How would I know? you came along with him and besides we won't be able to see him coz this large number of indians invading the airport". Within 30 or 35 years I expect Bahrain to become similar to Dubai where it will be hard to see a pure bahraini guy walking in a public place. What a strange world =( .

You may feel that my opinion may be subjective or pessimestic and that might be true to a certain level due to that fact that I only have been in Bahrain for couple of months in the last 5 years.

Anyways, people are waiting down stairs in hunger and anger. I have to go and wait for me in the second episode.

Stay safe everyone and enjoy the weekend.

In the air I flew

Through the clouds I fall

Through the country I've walked
In front of temples I've stood
Before the ocean I pray
And I said your name

Hi,

There will be an event held for study opportunities in UK, specifically in my current university (University of Bath). There will be representatives to promote the university and answer all visitors and perspective students enquiries. This is the first year that University of Bath representatives come to Bahrain, but it will held on an annual basis from now on. 

For anyone intrested in any undergraduate, postgraduate, Phd or any other degree you might find it useful to spare some time for this event.There will be a Jordanian representative called DR. Hadi Aboulroub.

Here are the details that I was asked to spread out copied from the email:

Bahrain:

Venue: Awal Ballroom, Gulf Hotel.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to write this post in arabic but coz the keyboard does not have arabic, then I would take ages to complete and publish this post. Anyways, the topic is about 2 particular column-writers in 2 seperate news papers that I have just noticed during the couple of days here.

My issue is about the way they write not about them in person. The first guy is Jassim Al-Ataawi . When I read plenty of his articles via the online archive of Al-ayam newspaper , honestly I said " What the hell?!" . Sorry if this offends anyone but what he writes is total rubbish and bull**it. In my opinion, the type and structure he uses won't enable him to succeed even in starting up a blog. The guy is trying to send a message about some certain issues and political problems in Bahrain but in a crappy way. What he writes implies what little knowledge he owns. There are more people capable of doing better so I hope to see him replaced one day by a more "professional" writer.

The other dude is Jaffar Abbas, A sudanese dude living in Qatar i guess and writing in Akhbar Al-Khaleej some other gulf newspapers. This guy's problem is talking nonsense about himself over and over in the news paper, like he's some sort of celebrity or something and thinking that the newspaper is somehow his personal diary or blog. If you go to his articles you will see that he always relates every topic and incident to himself. So f***ing lame. EGO-CENTRIC is the word to describe his articles.

The problem also is with the newspapes that allow these bull****ers to write and it is my damn sick personality to talk and spend time and effort on publishing a post to talk about these maniac people. For your personal safety and mentality ,once you read these names or see their faces in the newspaper just pass by without thinking to read even a word. I warned you and you bear the consequences if you don't respond to my warning.

Regards,

Tito
