I am a regular visitor to Yemeni Sites. I spent my childhood in Yemen in Aden. This was at a time when my mother was working at Aden's prestigious hospital Al-Gamhouria at Khormakshar. I lived at 584-B, White City, Khormaksar. I studied from class 3 on wards at the St. Anthony's High School and also at the Mualla Technical Institute when the medium of instruction was changed to Arabic.
I have a deep longing to visit Yemen and also look for my friends. I remember one classmate Tahir, he went to Sana'a, and there were others too, about whom I have no information. But I would love to meet and may be talk to them from India. I live in New Delhi and work for C-DOT ie. Centre for Development of Telematics, a Premier Research and Development Organization under the Ministry of Communications, Govt. of India.
I would like to be in touch with Yemeni students and like to meet them to improve my Arabic Language.
I also appreciate the Yemen Times staff for providing information which is at the tip of my fingers when sitting at my desk. Aden was a beautiful city during my childhood days. There is a great potential for Aden, not just Sana'a. There should be direct flights to Aden Airport. Many people who lived in Aden hold good memories. I hope there are people to help in improving the Business in Aden. Adeni people are friendly and very good at heart. They deserve the best like any other top class city in the world. My best wishes to all YEMENIS. My heart is always with you. I pray that God may bless the people of Yemen, so that they prosper well.
