Goodbye Qatar
I still cannot believe it myself, seems like a dream but the countdown has already begun and I am officially leaving Qatar for good after staying here for 34 years of my life.
I still remember that day when I landed at Doha airport (which wasn't anything like it is now) way back in Sep 1979 as a child of just 5 years.
During this span of time, I have seen Qatar grow tremendously from a small sleepy town of a total population of 150,000 to now almost 2 million.
I have so many beautiful memories of this place, done all my schooling here, started working here, had my first crush here, my first boyfriend, all memories have been in Qatar..
I have had the pleasure of having some absolutely lovely friends who have stood by me thru think n thin..
But the best thing that ever happened to me here in Qatar was the most beautiful coincidence of all times, that is to meet the love of my life, my soulmate, my sweetheart who is now my husband..
And now I am leaving the country which I considered my home for good so that I can spend the rest of my life with this man who I love more than anything or anyone in this world..
It has been a great time being on Qatar Living for the last few years and I hope I would get time to log on QL and find out the latest gossip about Qatar.
So here is wishing you all a happy life and all the best..
is nothing to feel shy about it ....
Difficulty is how to get it confirmed from the ' mid-wife Aunty ' !
MM i checked with Baburao with regard to ur statement and he told me that u have actually been thru this situation in reality ...:)))
Baburao & myself agreed that kids start having a crush at very very early age , my understanding is 'some' have crush on the mid-wife .... immediately after birth ... LOL. ... I gave your name so that Baburao will believe when there's a living example ...
MM i dnt get u
What if one has a crush now :0(
rofl..:)...iam 32 now..if i go now then the kids will call me uncle...rofl..:))
boxbe r u going to Pakshama now ?
Excuse for dp ....
thank you for the information...:)
From 1979 or 1980 till 1988 and then I moved to PEC and that year 1988 all schools in Doha were asked to separate the boys and girls from grade 4 or 5 onwards but before then, that is till 1988 all expat schools in Qatar were Co-Ed till grade 10 or maybe till even 12. You can go to Pakshama now and check their records, they will confirm that they were Co-Ed till 1988.
all the best
like 'Pappu Pager' had much earlier .... with the mid-wife ....
hahaha can be , in that case my first crush was the nurse
If in those days ' crush ' was possible, say at 5 .... now a days no wonder if it happens at 9 months or 1 year at the vaccination time on the nurse's table ..
babu..ur a monkey...am i bluffing or not...guess work...pehchan kaun...:)))))
boxbe u can learn to bluff too just make up a story n post here i will believe u
kareena...Those days all schools, whether Indian or Pakistani were Co-Ed.
i also studied "those days" in schools in qatar...but none of the schools after 4th grade were co ed...:)...which school was that...oh bad..i missed that school...i would have my first crush from there too...:(
or clever ?
My first crush was a guy in grade one.. We were together till grade 8 and then he moved to another school. Those days all schools, whether Indian or Pakistani were Co-Ed. But I never had the courage to tell him how I feel about him till I met him years later as adults when we were both in our twenties.. But it was too late because hae already had a gf then.
i also had a first crush..it was fanta citrus crush....lol..:))))
Just re-read the post.. Wish Kareena well in her future life, but I will always wonder who her "first crush" was ?
worries should end immediately after the send off ...
MM i know thanks for ur consideration
but now we shud be more worried about kareena than my return....:))
mean your 'time' away from QL ....
It's so nice to see friends returning back ...
Thanks for your appreciation ....
lols Marco

Good bye Kareena, i wonder how many other here in Qatar for long time.
34 years is quite a long time, if i will consider myself at your place, i have been in Qatar for almost 60 yrs ( i am not that old, considering my grand father came in qatar when he was unmarried and My mom who is eldest from her siblings born here in Qatar).
It's home for me now, sometimes feel sad and pitty that till date no rights for anything. i wonder if they started that passport thing, i will more then happy to get one.
Yallah Boxbe, kiss her goodbye :)
Boxbe please do not hijack her thread.
make your own thread when you were "under production".
Edited Boxbe ,, Good job
Sulie..done..just because u said my brother :)
Yes Thelo, humor is fine but saying such things is taking it too far.
Just like you insult religion whenever you want
Example : In religion stupidity is not a handicap. And your other id RIP the same
Goodluck Kareena74, wish you all the best in future;
One more sane voice down in QL!!!
Take it easy Kareena. All the best for the future!
Good luck, wish you a happy life with your husband
All the best
