On Sabbatical
Guys, I’ll be taking a break from blogging for a while.
I don’t know for how long that while is.
Thanks all for your support.
Have a wonderful Friday and weekend.

The Ministry of Information is withholding permission to publish and distribute the above books in Bahrain. Mahmood's Den adds its voice demanding that the Ministry respects freedoms of expression and refrains from hindering publishing activities which are integral to freedoms of expression and human rights.
Here’s hoping it’s not too long, but you have to do what you have to do. I’ll still be checking in every day and hope to see some terrific pictures like this snail.
Stay well, my friend.
Does this mean your advertising rates will come down in price?
Best of luck with your productions. Hope you don’t take too long.
Take some deep breaths – we’ll be happy to see you when you’re ready to return.
Enjoy your break.
But, I have a feeling you’ll be back soon. You just can’t keep your mouth shut if you find something is wrong or unjust
I’ll be looking forward to your return.
Does this mean that for the next week or so we can discuss anything we like without Baba Mahmood there to control us??
OK so I will start the ball rolling . . . .
Are pregnant women allowed to drink water in the office during Ramadan?
Don’t keep us waiting too long
NO! No Drinking. Period.
Pregnant women are allowed to do anything they want any time and any place!
I hope you didn’t get a letter from the Sunni Waqf Directorate asking you to stop writing too.
Eager to see you again
have a good break…. sometimes it’s good to take a break… does a body good!!
and a mind good, too!!
Uh ho
It is sad to hear that you won’t be writing here anymore, Mahmood. You were simply great. As an Indian living in Bahrain, I always found your views and analysis, on all matters in Bahrain, refreshingly original and needfully bold. Best wishes as you take a break. Or thats what we all hope to believe.
