Now thats what I call Qatar 8...Helpless in a land far far away....

Dear All,

I have endured an eventful time since my last blog, my 'buddy' (the technical term that Bechtel use for someone who helps me settle in the company) and his flatmate was involved in a serious car crash,where a Qatari Women was put into hospital and for anyone used to the Gulf thats a BIG, FAUX PAS, you never injure a local and u never injure a women, however it wasnt there fault, as two other cars coliaded and then one of those cars spun into their cars, and just highlights the dangers about these roads. On top of this my car had a minor incident, where both tyres on my passenger side blew, something in the road punctured/slashed my tyres, and i had to wait by the road for hours til someone came and helped, (thus the title for this blog)

Today I am breaking my fast with a work-do, there is not that many muslims in the office, only about 30-40 of a team of a 150-200 which isnt that many considering it being a muslim country, then again it could be considered alot considering its an American firm....

Well i have to go shortly but wanted to post some big news regarding myself....lol im coming to england iA in November for a week for training, however on the weekend possibly November 18th, i will be having my birthday party(most likely a dinner) though it is exactly one month late, its beta late then never, so make sure u keep it free, i only maybe intend to merge it with Shamina and maybe Bilal (as they are both born a week after me) but they have yet to be informed lol!

Anyway will let you know more, but get ready for the big bash!!

Take care

Asif
