FIRE IN BALTINGLASS MEAT FACTORY

Fire has broken out in the disused meat factory at Baltinglass. Smoke can be seen rising very high into the air. Firefighters are doing their best to put it out while onlookers are viewing it from a safe distance. The facory is right next to Deerpark View housing estate in Industrial estate.

This is not the first time that Baltinglass hooligans have set the premises on fire. Residents are becoming more concerned as their complaints have fallen to deaf ears.

The residents say that either there must be Garda patrolling and CCTV monitoring with more street lights so it is safe for them. Otherwise the factory must be taken down so it does not attract unwanted human elements.

Visiting Bahrain after 20 years

It’s after 20 years that I finally came back to Bahrain. Though I’m an Indian from the state of Kerala, I was born and raised here. When I left Bahrain in 1995, I took along with me valuable and precious memories most of which I still remember today. However when I returned here in Feb 2015, I realised that a lot has changed in the last 20 years. The 1995 map that I had stored in my mind is no longer the one I saw now in front of my eyes. There have been so many changes. There are few things that still remain the same though. I was happy to see Sana building in Salmaniya. Then a few restaurants and cold stores too remain the same. Everything else has changed. I came here along with my family. I was meeting up with few of my old Indian School buddies, my relatives and old family friends. And yes we all had a fab time. Libu Babu George, our friend who passed away in 2014 was definitely missed.

Island of Bahrain now Kingdom of Bahrain

The last time I remember, Bahrain was called the Island of Bahrain and it was ruled by His Highness Sheikh Isa Bin Salman Al Khalifa. There was a Pepsi Cola factory where I lived near Zinj and of course we had the famous Pearl Of Barhrain standing strong as a major landmark. Bahrain was popularily called the Island of Pearls. I remember Shoe Mart and 21^st Century Games near to Dairy Queen. On both Fridays I went to Marthoma Church service being held at National Evangelical Church (NEC) along with my relatives. I have so many wonderful memories of church, Sunday school, choir, prayer meetings and vbs at NEC.

Water Garden, Indian School, Adhari Park, Manama 2015

Shawarmas, Salmaniya & Indian School

Indian School, Dairy Queen, Water Garden, Manama 2015

Well, this trip was a return to the past in one major way- we had shawarmas, burgers, sun tops, menu, etc-. We also visited our old parks like Water Garden and Adhari Park. We had burgers from Dairy Queen. We visited Manama, Bab Al Bahrain, Amwaj Island, Salmaniya, Segaya, Um Al Hassam. We went to see Saudi Causeway but it was closed as they were building a new tower. We did visit Tree of Life. But the most memorable place we visited was our old school, Indian School at Isa Town. We met few of our old teachers and sirs. Mrs Sequeira, Mrs Usha Jayakumar, Mrs. Laila Punoose, Mrs. Sreelatha, Mr, Vishwambharan, Mr. Abdulla from the Office, Mr Haji our Band Sir, Mr Benny our Volleyball Sir, etc-. It’s really God’s grace that we got to meet these teachers after so long. Many teachers left the school and few passed away like Mrs. Leelama, Mr Vasudevan, Mrs. Shangunni, etc.

Time was really short this time and so we have decided to visit Bahrain once more and visit more friends who we were not able to meet this time and visit even more places. Overall we all had a great time and Bahrain is a great place to visit.

Some pics of our Bahrain visit.
