LIVING IN EGYPT: Back to Cairo

http://living-in-egypt-manisha.blogspot.com/2011/04/back-to-cairo.html

My experiences of living in and discovering Egypt. Tuesday, April 19, 2011. There is a saying in Egypt that anyone who has drunk from the Nile, is fated to return to the Nile again. I didn't quite drink from the Nile (. If I had I might have been permanently unable to go anywhere. But yes, did wet my feet on a number of occassions and left with a wrench when we had to! But it would appear that even getting your feet wet, works just as well! I for one, am quite excited! I think in the history of revolutio...

LIVING IN EGYPT: April 9 : a day to remember?

http://living-in-egypt-manisha.blogspot.com/2011/04/april-9-day-to-remember.html

My experiences of living in and discovering Egypt. Monday, April 11, 2011. April 9 : a day to remember? April 9 may well be a day that would be remembered by Egyptians, not just for the firing on protestors in Tahrir Square, but perhaps for the beginings of what might be yet another form of dictatorship - how benign,only time will tell. If this continues, it would be interesting to see how the army's rank and file reacts this time! Early days ahead, and maybe, one should give the army benefit of doubt to...

LIVING IN EGYPT: July 2008

http://living-in-egypt-manisha.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html

My experiences of living in and discovering Egypt. Saturday, July 19, 2008. Taj Mahal in Damsacus! We asked the Guest Relations at Sheraton about a good, really good quality Indian restaurant. It appears that there were 3 Indian restaurants (all branches of the same) by the name of Taj Mahal. Romance and exotica personified, at least in the name. In Damascus, and the hotel limousine took us to the biggestest and supposedly the best of them all. I believe the owner and his family had taken a holiday in In...

My experiences of living in and discovering Egypt. Sunday, November 15, 2009. Have finally roused myself to begin blogging on my stay in Bombay (http:/ living-in-mumbai-manisha.blogspot.com or http:/ www.living-in-mumbai-manisha.blogspot.com )! But somehow, its much slower. as someone said, familiarity breeds contempt - having stayed here so long, its almost like I know Bombay so well that sometimes I wonder what do I want to blog about! I just need to get a little less lazy! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

LIVING IN EGYPT: September 2008

http://living-in-egypt-manisha.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html

My experiences of living in and discovering Egypt. Sunday, September 28, 2008. Of crowded streets and skillful driving. I suspect that once I leave Cairo, and, am driving elsewhere, I shall suffer from agoraphobia! Not that roads in Maadi are very narrow, its just that they are really crowded. Try driving around on a Friday or Saturday morning! Tried my level best to squeeze through, but even my Peugeut would just not scrape past. Honked and honked to no avail! Typical expat woman, scared of a few scratc...

My experiences of living in and discovering Egypt. Wednesday, February 16, 2011. Egyptian Army - To be feared or revered? Was just flipping through WikiLeaks when I came across this article. something I am sure Egyptians also have access to, given the amazing ability of technology to facilitate dissemination of info. Anyone who has worked in the police / army knows that a large amount of power that the police or army wields is psychological - the fear of what the army and police can do often drives the p...
