Text of the page (random words):
s seemingly magical to us while we didn t even register on their radar where what is bahrain was an almost standard reply when i told people where i was from i knew the gulf had to wake up and move faster and achieve something just something to catch their attention i wanted to help this region grow and develop but what can i do as a 12 year old kid with a head full of dreams my family travelled considerably after then back to london los angeles paris and so on but we were back in bahrain in 1997 and i was ready to graduate from high school my original options were somewhere between the uk and the us but for some reason i ended up going to university in the uae long story ask me later dubai was just starting to break out of it s shell at the moment my first indication that things were starting to change was around 1999 one of my friends had gone to australia for a holiday and when he came back we discussed the comic book scene there he was a comic book collector to my shock he told me comic books were more accessible in dubai than they were in australia but how could that be i asked myself australia was a developed country wasn t it they had access to all the media the products and so on but for some reason we had more access to them in dubai i remember being on an american car forum again around the year 2002 discussing the skyline gtr a pretty fast if a little rare japanese vehicle some of the americans on the forum mentioned hearing about a place called dubai being the number one importer from japan and exporter to the rest of the world of skyline gtr s that was a little shocking how could these random americans in the middle of texas even know about dubai our region grew and grew from there onwards and these moments became more frequent i stepped into a taxi in italy in 2005 and he asked me where i was from i said bahrain knowing very well that he probably would not recognize the country but he said in a very stereotypical italian accent ahhh bahrain formula uno another was discussing the abu dhabi louvre with some random passer by in france in 2007 asking a london travel agent about destinations in 2008 to which she replied oman talking about the qatar world cup in london in 2009 and so on and to top it all off the announcement made just a little over an hour ago with dubai winning the right to host the 2020 world expo even before the announcement i could see tweets and facebook posts from people i know from lebanon to los angeles to lagos talking about dubai the whole world is looking at us now the world knows who we are although some may see this as the importing of major global events brands and trends what you can see if you look at closer is how we are creating our own as well the fashion designers the films the tv shows we ve built some of the best biggest airlines in the world innovative solutions like masdar and are slowly starting to export what we have to the rest of the world who in their right mind would have thought you could walk into the middle of new york and see the emirates and al jazeera logos plastered everywhere or walk into harrods in london and grab some chapati and karak and put all that aside for now people from the west are coming here in hordes trying to get jobs start businesses or just explore sure some gulf countries were slower to make the transition than others but the growth is amazing for the region as a whole and with the right effort we can all benefit from this we re the cultural and economic heart of the region and looking further ahead maybe even the world we ve made it here the world knows who we are now and we re about to make waves lots of them 3 comments 18 november 2013 dubai air show an awakened gulf and bahrain i don t regularly blog anymore and this is going to be a bit of a bittersweet post but after seeing the amount of power the gulf has in it s hands after yesterday s air show i figured i have to start screaming somewhere might as well be my blog anyhow yesterday was the first day of the 2013 dubai air show the behemoth of the airline industry in the gcc is emirates which has very casually decided to order 100 billion dollars worth of planes the notable runners up are etihad and qatar airways with a combined 50 billion worth of orders now on the surface and to the uninformed this seems to be a bunch of rich sheikdoms throwing around their god granted oil money but look a little deeper if this was just about money perhaps kuwait should be a notable entry with a higher gdp than either uae or qatar or maybe saudi with more than double the oil revenue of the next closest competitor you can t just build a massive airline out of thin air if you had money sure you can start one but without the right strategies direction management and so on it won t last too long no matter how much money you throw at it back in the 80 s the gcc was made up of a bunch of oil rich countries with a lot of money and no incentive to use it to build up the country emirates airlines was started by the dubai ruling family in the mid 80 s with an aim to turn dubai into a regional business hub with a very focused strategy over the next 20 years they managed to pave the way for the world to have easy access into the city and through that and a very solid growth strategy expand into a global superstar as this ridiculous growth caught the eyes of the other sheikdoms around they wanted in on the global game and so began the story of the hyper growth of the gcc of course some countries raced ahead while others lagged behind money played a contributing factor but some did better with it than others look up now and you ll see cities that people didn t even realize existed 20 years ago are buzzwords on the tongues of tourists businessmen politicians and even average citizens all the way from seoul to sao paulo to top it off at the air show yesterday etihad qatar airways and emirates single handedly gave a life line to boeing with it s largest ever combined order of 100 billion and with that kind of money comes power sh ahmed al maktoom chairman of emirates group turns around and casually says to the west you give us the landing rights we re asking for there have been arguments over landing rights for emirates etc in the west over the past few years or we re going to cancel these orders in other words you re playing our game now all sweet so far right the growth of a region the increase in both economical and political power the developments within it and so on so where s the bitter part i look at our tiny little bahrain so motivated and always starting new trends being slowly pushed to the side in fact they don t even have a noticeable participation in the air show sure i understand we have our own in january and we re probably saving whatever loose change we have to sign deals there but either way we started the whole aviation thing in the region gulf air was formed way before any of these other airline back in the 1940 s and sure we grew and eventually bahrain qatar abu dhabi and oman all decided to come on board as shareholders but i think the turning point was in the 80 s dubai back then a little desert village with nothing but huge aspirations kept requesting more flights through gulf air to which the airline turned around and said no not being one to wait for things to happen the ruling family of dubai decided to start their own airline emirates and from then on it s growth and with them the growth of dubai astounded everyone to the point where abu dhabi and qatar eventually decided hey we should have our own airlines too and left gulf air that s not necessarily a bad thing for gf they can grow better with more focus right but no the airline kept tumbling deeper and deeper into losses corruption and one problem after the other oman eventually seceded from the airline making it a pure bahraini burden on a positive note though i guess we can say the reason emirates was created dubai grew and following that the whole gcc ended up growing is because of bahrain denying dubai more flights ironically now gulf air s busiest route is to dubai funny how time changes things i m happy for what we ve managed to do in the gulf overall and how we ve managed to literally sit on top of the world through our airlines but again looking at gulf air s sad decline from being a true gulf airline to one that is just an after thought even in the mind of the average bahraini traveller makes me feel a little bitter inside and this follows through everything else in bahrain we start all the trends we have the first hold on any new idea but for some reason we fail while everyone around us grows we re smart we re motivated we have so much potential in us but that s all it remains just pure potential with no follow up i think it s less of feeling sad and more of feeling let down or disappointed we all gave tons and tons to the country and after all that s happened we see it remain relatively stagnant maybe it s just a curse or maybe it can be fixed or maybe we lost hope don t get me wrong i still love our little island and that won t ever change but sadly she just feels like the lazy offspring that ended up not achieving much in life while all it s siblings went on to become ceo s and presidents 5 comments 15 august 2013 sleep is my friend so here s the deal i haven t really been sleeping right as of late i think multiple reasons including the fact that i don t have any specific reason to be up early in the morning a little bit of stress a little bit of a d d and a lot of being disorganized have led to a totally erratic sleeping pattern some nights i sleep for 6 hours some nights i sleep for 12 the only common factor is that i usually end up waking up past noon which again is not really that much of a problem considering that running your own business doesn t require early mornings mentally and socially it starts getting to you waking up late is great when you get to do it on a weekend or even on a longer holiday school summer holidays especially and you get to re energize your body doing it on a much longer timespan say for years in a row has other effects studies show that you tend to get lazier overall check studies show that stress levels seem to increase for people who sleep late check studies show that you experience more headaches and body aches in general check studies show that well it continues on a social level i m up when everyone else is having their afternoon siesta a spanish phrase for an arab habit and most active when everyone else goes to sleep most of the people who i actively communicate with are twitter and facebook friends from the us and europe who are up when i am or the few other night owls from around here well it s time to put an end to that i thought not to say that i haven t been been trying for a while i have it just hasn t been working i set alarms for 8 00am and 9 00am only to snooze them or even completely slumber through them i get to bed early only to lie down turn and turn and run through multiple thoughts spanning everything from the intricate details of how the universe was born to what i m having for lunch tomorrow i end up finally sleeping by 6 00am or 7 00am only to wake up again an hour or two past noon there have been a couple of occasions where i ended up sleeping late and waking up early figuring i d sleep early that night but nope i either crashed by mid afternoon or ended up staying up late again only to be caught back in the vicious circle over and over again this has been going on for weeks and weeks perhaps months and months same result finally yesterday i figured i had a chance to fix things again i had tried sleeping early and fell into the same routine of random multiple thoughts rolling in bed and generally thinking of things i haven t thought of in years i eventually slept by 6 00am but was forced to wake up at 8 00 to go do a number of errands that i would have been in quite a bit of a pickle had i not finished them then so there i was up early facing the morning sun driving around with a emotionless stare finishing random errands till i was done by 4 00pm i got back home and was about to crash on the sofa watching a re run of romeo juliet an amazing adaptation if you haven t seen it actually with the whole story set in a modern day los angeles while retaining the original shakespearean dialogue but that s a whole other story a phone call stopped me from falling asleep and i ended up having to go collect a couple of items from a friend finally home by 9 00pm seemed ideal and i was exhausted finally my perfect level of exhaustion aligned with the perfect sleeping time i pictured it if i slept now i would be up by 6 00am or 7 00am feeling great from having slept enough feeling great from waking up early i would actually be able to walk outside and go to where the people have breakfast i would have breakfast in public while other people were having breakfast i would be an engaged member of society again everything seemed so perfect i got ready for bed set my alarms for 7 00am and closed my eyes the last glance at the time told me it was 9 30pm and from there i sank into my pillow i remember conjuring up multiple dreams i don t remember the exact details but they were many some dreams even had me waking up early excited about how i was going to spend my morning remember this is not just about waking up early it was about waking up early and waking up energized it was about a routine and returning to an active lifestyle it was about less stress less headaches and being more healthy it was a new life i abruptly woke up in the middle of the night how long was i out for an hour two hours i wasn t going to let this ruin my objective i didn t even bother checking the time or taking a glance at my phone i shut my eyes and went back into dream land the dreams continued again the details are vague but i had this one recurring dream where i dreamt that i was sleeping and i kept waking up to check the time telling myself i needed a few more hours to wake up at 6 00 other dreams followed but this theme persisted i woke up again what has it been another hour or two didn t check the time didn t check my phone didn t do anything eyes shut dreamland this happened a few times dreams followed by me waking up wondering how many hours i was out for and going back to sleep when i woke up for the fifth time it was still dark outside i closed my eyes again but this time i couldn t sleep my body had seemingly gotten enough rest and was telling me to get up my mind started running off into multiple thoughts including trying to figure out if i was good to wake up or if i should sleep some more i focused on that if i had slept an average of one or two hours per session i thought with a total of five sessions then i had probably slept somewhere between 6 and 7 hours maybe 8 i originally slept at 9 30 so now it should realistically be somewhere around 4 00 or 5 00am maybe even 6 00 if i m lucky the ...
