27.02.2017 Karak Tea
@ Palace Karak Cafeteria at Al Dur, Kingdom of Bahrain
Jau, Bahrain (towards south of Bahrain Island)
Thoughts: Nice of Ramesh (Driver) to stop by a Kara Tea shop near the Al Dur Power Plant. It is a small village just outside the Plant. There is a very very big Jail in this area with lots of police everywhere. Ramesh warns of no photographing when we were passing that Jail vicinity.
It was already 9am when we arrived at the Karak tea shop at Al Dur (from Juffair's Al Safir hotel). But the village seems a quite little town. Only when Ramesh "honked" that someone came out from the tea shop to take the order and bring to our car. With the car window wined down for the cool air and a Masala/Karak Chai(Tea), what better way to start the day.
Today, the hour driving to AL Dur from Juffair, Ramesh and me discussed about a little about of different lives. Ramesh is married with a baby girl, he has been working in Bahrain for 12 years and he only goes back to India usually only 1 time a year. He misses his family a lot especially the new born! It has been tough life for him as job opportunities in the India city he comes from is lacking. Still, he wishes in another 1-2 years to go back to India for good. We also talked about religions in our lives. I wish him well in his efforts to make some good money before returning back to his family.
