      Sometimes it just frustrates me when people make judgments with so little or no background information on the subject matter. Other times I simply understand, if I was that ignorant. Still, what is important is to always be ready to change your judgment once you get more information, which may be totally different than…

Are you going to become rich as a mean to get rid of your challenges? Well, hear this, research has shown that if…

      The chairs in Starbucks are so close to each other, but who cares, since we enjoy listening to different conversations, whether they are your friends, or not! I couldn’t help it the other day, the only way I would prevent myself from eavesdropping on the nearby table was to stand up and leave. And…

    When IISS invited me to the 9th Manama Dialogue, they attached the list of topics that would be discussed by senior delegates. In my view, the topics were extremely interesting but very unpredictable in what discussions they can lead to. Throughout the recent past, the world compartmentalized significant factors like ‘National Security’ to discuss also…

    No doubt that Bahrain is a lovely island-nation where people from all over the world pay much to visit or live here. It is a relaxed small Kingdom that everything can somehow be found. Even by GCC standards, many would rather visit Bahrain instead of busy and fast Dubai. What’s not to love in a…
