Reality Check!


A view from the window in my room.

The narrow lane that leads to my building.

Homecoming!


Gudaibiya-the place where i am currently put up. The place is primarily the home to many Indian and Pakistani families but one can see Philippinos and Ethopians too.
Check out the National Emblem of Bahrain, its looks so dashing. It was designed by a British advisor in the 1930's (source:wikipedia)

Wann-a- date


This picture was taken during my evening walk. I wanted to capture the dates tree along with the hoarding to signify the presence of the Subway restaurant in the Gulf Region.

Lake View


This picture was shot during my evening walk around the city. Bahrain is said to comprise of 33 islands and is the smallest country in the Gulf. Its little wonder that the sea, lake or corniche is quickly accessible from within the city.

Modern Perspective


This picture was shot during my evening walk. Bahrain is a modern city and is considered of the fastest growing economies in the GCC. Seen here are two of the many buildings that makes Bahrain's skyline unique and chic.

RoundAbout Beauty


This a roundabout shot at night at the Exhibition Road. Roundabouts have the concept of being able to control traffic without the use of signals.

Weekend Getaway!!


My first weekend in Bahrain! Head to the Hard Rock Cafe, my first attempt at the waterhole.

The interiors at the Hard Rock Cafe. On the far left is the vĂȘtement that the Queen of Pop Madonna wore during her days.

Memorabilia on display at the Hard Rock Cafe.

Bon Appetit!!



My experimentation with Arabic food! Seen here is an Iranian dish called Juja Kebab Rice. Looked so much Indian.
