    It's always a joy to read about Bahrain and all the community highlights pertaining to the community of Karnataka State existing in the small Kingdom. Lots of hard work and efforts go into the making of so many events that help our community, especially the children who are being encouraged by their respective parents and community leaders. So many young men and women are blossoming on the performing stage, and these children will prove to be our patriotic leaders that will represent their family, their community and their country wherever they go and whatever they do, It is a gratifying fact that Bahrain has always been magnanimous in rendering the best possible support, including the freedom to enjoy our talents and make "our home away from home" a success. One of these months we would like to visit Bahrain and renew some of our past aquaintances and connections, including some of the cordial relations created in Bahrain sixty years ago.
