Gulf Weekly Write to the editor

Write to the editor

THIS is with reference to the article (July 13-19) on astronomy and the achievements by Jathin and myself. Your reporter Anasuya’s elegant phraseology impressed many. I received many calls from my friends and people new to me. After reading the article many visited our home to have a look at the telescopes and to learn further and some went ahead and bought telescopes/ binoculars I recommended.  I take this opportunity to thank you and your crew in giving such a vast coverage and with the right message. The big blow-up of the lunar eclipse photo had its intended effect! Needless to say the first ever article on Jathin was through GulfWeekly way back in 2009. So, we are very thankful to the newspaper.

Having successfully survived looking the wrong way at junctions, punching the window every time I went to change gear, getting over the shock of paying £1.50 per litre of fuel instead of the equivalent 12 pence per litre it is here in Bahrain and remembering to actually get out of the car to put the said fuel into the fuel tank I returned with trepidation wondering what, if anything, will have changed in this wonderful little island haven we live in.
