I don’t think anyone can doubt that 2011 was a historic year. An Arab spring, a US financial meltdown and partisan rifts, a UK debt crisis, tumultuous European riots, and a couple of natural disasters in Asia. One is almost tempted to say that it can’t get any worse, but I wouldn’t dare tempt fate. [...] [...more]
I had the pleasure and honour of attending the handing over ceremony of the BICI report. What a day! I feel like I’m on a cloud, I can’t believe what happened today… it’s like a dream. Was there really a man standing in front of an Arab head of state, criticising his governments actions – [...] [...more]
I got back last week from Hajj. And let me tell you , it was a great trip! It’s the second time I go, and there was a significant difference compared to last time. This year I went on behalf of my late father. For one, I went with a luxury hamla (Hajj [...] [...more]
I’m off to Makkah today to perform the Hajj pilgrimage. I’m going on behalf of my late father, who never had the chance to go. Take care and see you when I get back inshallah! [...more]
You know, I love success stories, and I love it even more when I help influence one… Today, I’m extremely proud to announce the promotion of Falakonian extraordinaire Saba Saleem to General Manager of the DreamBody Centre (DBC). I first met Saba back in 2003 or 2004. My only business at the time was Zen-Do [...] [...more]
What an interesting evening it was last night! I have to admit I was on a high for hours after the show. The debate raged on for hours afterwards on Twitter and Youtube. Anyway, now that the dust has settled somewhat, I want to share some comments that I think are noteworthy: Why I appeared [...] [...more]
Following from my previous blog post, here’s the video of the presentation I gave at the Deutche Welle Global Media Forum 2011. I was part of a group of 8 Arab bloggers who were talking about the social media. We were each given 7 minutes, but I went up to 10. I have two versions [...] [...more]
I’m sitting here in my hotel room on the night of the second day of the Deutche Welle Global Media Forum. This year’s theme is “human rights in a globalised world.” What an interesting two days it’s been! I’ve been to tons of conferences over my adult life, but it’s the first time I attend [...] [...more]
I attended a gathering today with His Majesty King Hamad. The gathering was with Bahrain’s media and journalists. I have to say I left feeling buzzed and very excited. Of course, it’s always nice to see our monarch, but what really excited me was the fact that reforms and dialogue are still on. I arrived [...] [...more]
Thirty eight years ago, on the 26th of May 1973, I was born to a Saudi father and a German mother, in the sleepy industrial city of Offenbach, in Hessen, Germany. The old cliche is true, time does fly! I had a wonderful childhood in Riyadh, and came to Bahrain in 1985. I was twelve [...] [...more]
