Young Lafi Anas is something of a celeb in Adliya. He sits outside Leena Pharmacy hawking the two essentials of our hot summer: cool drinking water and tissue boxes to wipe the sweat! Cheery and a great hustler, he has regular customers who not only buy his wares but also tip him generously with a cone of Baskin Robbins ice cream or a burger from nearby stores.
I am sure we will read about young Lafi in later years in business magazines where he will talk fondly about how his empire was built hawking water and face tissues in his spare evenings!

Warmest wishes to everyone on this blessed day. May all our sacrifices and prayers be accepted.

Summer in the Gulf always brings on its share of tragic fire stories, often caused by a/c short circuits due to poor wiring. The Kuwait tragedy took 49 lives and the Bahrain suq fire destroyed over 25 shops, resulted in one death and cost hundreds of livelihoods.
Bahrain has been tough on landlords who cram people into work accommodation like sardines in a can. Now we need to see a crackdown on those horrid wall posters for "bed space" where more than one person shares a bed and a suitcase space in shifts.

Ramadan is a time when we fast in a spirit of devotion and reflection.

It is also a time of making the time to share food with family, friends and the needy.

Salaam Bahrain presents the first of three food-related short videos for the Holy Month.

In this video we speak with the dynamic duo who run the Rice and Salt Restaurant.

Heading home after a glorious trip for the opening of Abu Dhabi BAPS Hindu Mandir.
Had divya darshan of HDH Mahant Swami Maharaj, many Sadguru and saints. What a magnificent Mandir and built within 4 years (despite the pandemic).
Respect to the UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed and his government for so warmly and open-heartedly welcoming a Mandir in their midst.
Next mandir in Bahrain! Hum hain tayyar.
