A multi-faceted personality Dr. Saqer is known for his quirky blog posts and unrelenting love towards Triathlon. “I used to be part of most of the sport teams at my school,…

The Least You Can Do is to Do Nothing!
It will not be possible for me to explain how a country is run in one small article, not even a book. What is intriguing however, is that people with minimum knowledge claim that they know. Trust me people, only a minority knows, and the majority thinks that money is made through a printer. Whatever…

Greece Today, Bahrain Tomorrow?
Ramadhan is over, and now I’m back. We are always busy, that’s life, but busy and hungry is not good to transfer my thoughts into words for you all to read, so I took a break. However, this doesn’t mean that I wasn’t itching to tell you about how Bahrain, or the world for that…

My argument to this is that Saudi is in…

Made in #Bahrain
In one of my travels to America during my last few months of completing my Ph.D., I thought long and hard about the type of simple gift I should bring back home with me. I don’t feel quite comfortable walking in empty handed, and tend to like to paint a picture of myself as creative…

Should You Buy An Apple Watch or Not?
I have thought a lot about it, way before, since the days we only heard rumors about an upcoming iWatch, or the Apple Watch. It’s simple amazing, now that we know what it can do. You no longer have to get your phone out of your pocket every half a minute just to check if…

No Other Solution But War!
We have some seriously bad habits in the Arabian Gulf, which somehow can be traceable back to the current war in Yemen. Some would argue that these habits are in fact good, not bad, but what I would say is that they have become one of the most significant factors that brought us the war…
