shantaram is amazing

if u do get ur hand on it try to read a million little pieces...dats also fabulous.....if u really really need to join a library then i guess u can goto brit council....though i dunno if they have increased their colection over the years and if so then by how much.....howz r ur wrking hrs during rmadan?

By ksarat16• 25 Sep 2007 12:06

I guess i know what do u mean by matey...so does that mean i call u champ or not...i wud say that is a big NO...before u come to my office and whack the crap out of me...i studied in Australia...so i surely know whats matey...

so finished cooking lunch...that u came online for some Desserts...whats for lunch...(r u muslim and fasting)...if u r ...my total apologies...

By sweetsunshine• 25 Sep 2007 12:02

Like everything ive seen of doha so far-except for the lack of proper libraries of course :(

have just started readin kiterunner-read shantaram if u can get hold of it-quite liked the book...

25 years?wow-so u must be knowin doha inside out by now :)

By telljax• 25 Sep 2007 10:38
telljax

ive been good

ramadan means more of late nights and less of working hours...

as for myself i have been here for 25 years...so dat basically means all my life in a way...hope the library thing works out for ya..how u finding it out here?

By ksarat16• 25 Sep 2007 10:20
ksarat16

Firstly, whats with the "matey"...Secondly, naah books too tough for me...i really want to read boooks...infact imagine a position me kneeling down in front of GOD asking him to bless with the courage of reading...he just refuses ... everytime i drop in that application he rejects...infact he curses me with sleeping if reading...so thats why...

No Proper libraries...there are a lot in the Arabic version...but not in English...but try with QP and British Council...that shud help...

So what else...

hi ksa,

doha's been treatin me fine matey :) i love this place so far-only thing that i dont like bout it is that there are no proper libraries out here :(

will c what i can do about the QP library...you should try readin books sometime-its fun :)

By ksarat16• 25 Sep 2007 09:54
ksarat16

I m no way an avid book reader...all the books that u guys were talkin bout...were sounding like roman and latin to me...anyways...u might wanna try and see if u cud get someone help u out the QP library(only for employees...thats why get someone who works there take u)...or u cud also try British Council...dont ask me where they are...cos i already told u ...i got to this position in life with great difficulty in reading books...LOL...so ya happy reading...

So hows Doha been so far for u champ...
