I’m very proud to announce the creation of the Ghazi Algosaibi Prize! The idea is still in it’s infancy, and the details have not been sorted yet, but we’ll try to make it something truly amazing, and worthy of having my late father’s name.

There I was, the other day, checking my email, when I received an email from the American Embassy saying I was invited Friday afternoon to a conversation with an “American VIP.” Hmm, I thought. Of course I presumed it had something to do with the Manama Dialogue that was taking place over the weekend. “Which [...] [...more]
I returned a couple of days ago from my trip to Trivandrum, in Kerala, India. It was the first time ever I went on holiday on my own -- no family and no friends. I had a great time. I mostly just relaxed and read. I read over 1,000 pages while I was there. I [...] [...more]

I’ve been firing on all cylinders since I started my first business, with lots of stress and not much sleep. To be honest it didn’t bother [...] [...more]

Woke up this morning with an intense sense of relief. I had another dream… I dreamt I was in some sort of big guest house, with family members, friends, and my kids. It was night time and I wanted to shower, but a friend was using my shower. So I walked down the hall to [...] [...more]
Some nights are better than others. Last night I slept fairly deeply but I had disturbing dreams. I dreamt I was trying to climb up a sandy/rocky, steep hill. I could not get a proper hold and the rock kept getting loose. Later I dreamt I was in a house but I could not get [...] [...more]
My father, Ghazi Abdulrahman Algosaibi – poet, technocrat, diplomat, author, novelist, Arab icon – died peacefully on Sunday the 15th of August at 10:30 am in King Faisal Specialist Hospital, in Riyadh.
