My reason for loving QATAR are as follows :

1. Career fulfillment/advancement --this is an obvious reason why we both husband and wife are here..We both have seen the success in a short span of time..

2. Peace and tranquility -- I would say DOHA is quite better than the place where i stay back in INDIA in terms of quiteness, safety and better means of life..

3. Opportunities -- Same as point no.1

4. Earnings....MONEY -- Well of course, DOHA has helped us a lot in maintaining our secure bank balance for our future..I owe to QATAR for this..

i had spended my childhood in the streets of qatar. me and qatar both grownup thogather so we have lot of memmories in this land i found it calm sielent clean peacefull how can i forget those days when there were nohting on cornish but now wow at least less noisey like any where else

...shapil, my personal love is for the people not for geographical borders, which may bring into discussion what do we mean by "Country", "Qatar"?

Sometimes I feel Qatar and I have become business partners.

Yes, later. Thanks for the lovely chat.

....shapil, you sure will discover more. Guaranteed. They're peaceful, non-violent, kind -hearted, and genuinely helpful. I've known Qataris as my classmates in my prep boarding school back in Cairo. This is how I first learnt about Qatar and Qataris. Then I visited for 3 summer months as a kid, back then I hated myself. Finally, as a working expat, I came to love the country.

However, the more the time passes by, the more I feel my relation with Qatar is becoming more professional-like.

By shapil• 24 May 2010 00:59

Its my first time in Qatar but I am sure that I too will be able to discover their fine qualities and hopefully then my love will no longer be blind..:)

By Happy Happy• 24 May 2010 00:55
Happy Happy

...shapil, I'm very much loving our discussion here. Indeed, if it hadn’t been for the fine qualities of Qataris, I wouldn't have survived. I don't do well and could never last for more than a few weeks in other countries.

So, again it boils down to "human factor". What I've delved into above, was more in relation to foreign relations i.e. politics.

By shapil• 24 May 2010 00:48
shapil

Righto...thats good to know, I was just confirming my understanding.

By Happy Happy• 24 May 2010 00:45
Happy Happy

...shapil, "humanism" is something I don't need to bring up, it's granted we're all humans. No second thoughts about it.

arnel_67, we're not off topic. We're literally psychoanalyzing our feelings...online!

By shapil• 24 May 2010 00:41
shapil

patriotism and nationalism has its place but above all is humanism....borders are fluid in todays world and they are increasingly becoming more irrelevant...For that alien living in Pluto we are all Earthly creatures.

By Happy Happy• 24 May 2010 00:34
Happy Happy

..........shapil..:))) I'm struggling to tone down my patriotism, by embracing a more pragmatic concept of nationalism, but it seems this hot-blooded girl is too slowly improving. Snail slow that is..:)

but i din know tha it can cause blindness...lol

...haahaha, got me laughing there, yeah, this is how I walk too...:P

By shapil• 24 May 2010 00:18

I am not arab but i have worked in 5 Arabic countries including Egypt...I only know how to "walk like an Egyptian" :)

By Happy Happy• 24 May 2010 00:11
Happy Happy

....shapil, you're not Arab/Egyptian...:)

It's very sensitive at times, and my Egyptianism is blinding.

By shapil• 24 May 2010 00:06
shapil

Yeah...its a mix of good and bad i guess...u can love the good and smile at the bad...but dont let externalities decide what you love.

By Happy Happy• 24 May 2010 00:02
Happy Happy

...Not exactly, it's more that my psychology, while working in Qatar, is influenced by specific externalities, I'm pushed to.

Anyway, all is good...

By shapil• 23 May 2010 23:57
shapil

I guess it is something analogous to selective hearing then...selective seeing.

By Happy Happy• 23 May 2010 23:55
Happy Happy

...shapil, in fact I'm in conditional love with Qatar. I guess it must be Glaucoma then...:)))

By shapil• 23 May 2010 23:51

Lol happy 2 .. I think urs is a special case but you can be made to fall in love if you visit the "right" kind of opthalmologist :)

. .....shapil, I like Qatar, but cannot totally say I love it. Where do I stand with my eyesight? Stigma or color blind?...LOL

By shapil• 23 May 2010 23:36

Because love is blind.

most of us just like or might love only because of the earnings, yet some are really in love with the country for the sake of it, nothing less nothing more but who are they? that is the 64 Dollars question to be asked, lol I have met so many people who says we do and deep inside they don't, just to let them hear it, what goes around comes around........!!!
