Hi, I’m back in Bahrain and thoroughly jetlagged! Anyway, I gave this Key Note presentation back in November at the Global Entrepreneurship Week event held at the university of Bahrain (to see the synchronistic events that led up to it, click here. I’m proud to say that is was very well received and left many [...] [...more]
It’s 11:32 am. I’m standing at the checkout counter at the Toys R Us store on the outskirts of Rochester. I just bought a Leap Frog reader thingamajig for my daughter, and a Bakugan set for my son. In case you’ve been living on Mars, Bakugan is the latest craze for boys, like a modern [...] [...more]
Welcome to the latest edition of my “monthly” book review. This one might surprise you, I’m actually reviewing -- and recommending -- a book about McDonald’s!

If you’re on my (physical) mailing list, you’ll have received a Eid card from me, with some fake cash to used as a discount at either Zen-Do or the DreamBody Centre (DBC), worth BD 80. The idea was to send you a “Eidiya” (tradition of giving cash during Eid) from me!

I don’t usually write much about marketing and business on this blog. I write business articles for a publication here in Bahrain, and elsewhere. But a consulting client urged me to write more on the blog as they thought others might benefit. And it would allow me to write more about a topic I’m passionate [...] [...more]
It’s Saturday afternoon and I’m standing in the Nokia shop in GOSI, wondering whether I should buy the new Nokia E71. You see I lost my mobile the day before and all attempts at finding it were in vain.
