Hello friends,
As a fitting final tribute to my father who has just retired from Saudi Arabia, Arab News carried out a lenghthy interview of him. I tell you, so many new memories came back of Old Jeddah as I read through this article.
To my dad, I wish for all the success for you in this world. You have made a huge impact on the Pakistani people, and to Saudis in your company, and I pray that desire to do good is implanted in the hearts of the people there. I know it's your desire to see the good people with good intentions come forward and do something for the society in the Kingdom, and I pray that desire becomes a huge reality in your lifetime. God bless you!

Wow he's your dad?? I saw the article in Arab news in the morning. I didnt think i'd see his son's blog on the same night. All the best for your dad!
Don't worry. I bet reporters get cookie points for every name they get wrong:p
i wish the reporter had mentioned that mansur also maintains a blog and he loves jeddah, but then that would be cheap publicity for me. lol.

Mansur, how cool! And what an accomplished Dad your father is. And he's not done being accomplished. I wish him all the best with his new endeavour because holy cow, East, West, full blown Democracy, sorta democracy, there's politics in all kinds of forms and organizations and if you're the kind of person who knows how to deal with people, you'll find your place. Good for your dad!
And yes, a nice little plug for your blog would have been nice!
btw..totally (!!) lost the name of your site so now I finally found it again, via Ahmed's Saudi Jeans. Glad you commented on it!
See you changed your blogs' look again..are you a Gemini??
lol Ingrid
hey ingrid,
to answer your question, i am not a gemini but a taurus. i guess the stubborn factor comes into play where I am being so stubborn as to keep on changing my template till I find the right one that's perfect for me!
