Mmmeaty!
When I get to the poetry section in Bahrain Confidential, I’m not expecting appetizing - or should I say, rather unappetizing thoughts about food. But this month’s poetry from David Hollywood was quite unusual. Usually evoking pleasant feelings about our surroundings, David’s poetry actually did the opposite for me this month. Poetry Lover

Environment Day!?
Rehan Ahmed’s article made much of celebrating World Environment Day, but it came and went unnoticed in Bahrain! I have been in Bahrain for nearly five years now and every year, the same happens. I wish there were more opportunities to be a part of spreading awareness in the Kingdom! Environmentally Conscious Well, well now for someone who claims to be “Environmentally Conscious� you can be pretty lazy huh? Five years and you haven’t done a thing to protect the environment of our beautiful island? We suggest if you can’t find a way to contribute, create one and let us know too!

Sake!
For heavens’ sake can you please also pick out some fashion for those of us who don’t make big bucks? I really loved your picks from Juicy Couture to wear around the pool for summer but they were a wee bit too heavy on my wallet. So unless you want me to empty out my wallet every month, please have some fashionable suggestions that are easier on the pocket!
Look close my dear, there were some pretty inexpensive choices in there too. Seems like you have a tendency to gravitate towards the more expensive choices (we know all about that!).
What a Shame!
I adopted a cat after seeing him up for adoption in Bahrain Confidential. Since then, I look at the pet section every month and it’s very very sad to see that the same animals sometimes come up for adoption each month. It’s a shame that so many people would choose to dump their pet rather than spend the money and take them when they leave. A pet is for life not just the duration of their time spent in Bahrain. It must be very traumatic for the animal? Judgemental Joe It breaks our hearts to see all those animals waiting to be adopted each month. We agree that more people could choose to make them a more permanent part of their lives, but then again we can’t really know what anyone’s situation is either.
Rather Splendid!
Loved reading the interview with the Indian Ambassador Mohan Kumar and his wife Mala Kumar. It’s rare that we get to hear about their likes, dislikes and passions in life - especially, embarrassing moments! And the pictures just seemed very regal to me with Mala Kumar’s traditional dress and jewellery. Interested Reader We are delighted that you liked it! After all, we’re here for your reading pleasure.
Celebrating Dad
Thank you Confidential for helping me pick out the perfect gift for my dad this father’s day. It’s quite a pickle each year to find something he doesn’t already have. I got him the USB and Cigar Holder from your picks this month and he just loved it! Seriously Grateful Glad to be of help sire!
