Media Sales Director Anuradha Manhas [email protected] DIGITAL & CONTENT MARKETING TEAM Digital Strategy Director Lini Reghunath Digital Marketing & Social Media Director Farah Baig Social Media Managers Simran Tiwari, Rohit Reghunath Welcome to another very exciting and informative edition of Bahrain This Month. If there’s anything we’ve learned in July, it’s that anything is possible in Bahrain (even rain in the middle of summer). So, we’re going to go ahead and take that energy into August. Bahrain was, is and always will be an exciting place to live and we’re here to tell you how you can make the most of it. Flick through our pages to stay up to-date with what’s going on at some of the most exciting locations and events on the island. Learn more about local and homegrown up-and-coming talent and their contributions to the social and entertainment fabric of the country. In fact, you can visit our website (www.bahrainthismonth.com) at any time, where you can search for any event or activity happening on the island and, in many cases see the photographic evidence of what took place where and when! Our coverage spans from nightlife to embassy receptions to corporate events, to private parties to theatre and family entertainment. Bahrain has always been known to be a hub for creative talent and a melting pot of different cultures and nationalities. So as nightlife and events take centre-stage once again, people now have the opportunity to enjoy this talent with a newfound appreciation. The Bahrain-based band ‘Jack Rabbit Slims’ has continued to impress the masses at live events with their ever-so-groovy original tracks inspired by The Bee Gees, James Brown, Aretha Franklin and many more. We had the pleasure of interviewing the band who were pleased to share their story! This month, the Republic of India celebrates its momentous 75th Independence Day for which we were happy to create a very special feature supplement. For this issue, we spoke to Mr. Abdulrahman Juma, President of the Bahrain India Society which promotes culture, friendship and business between the two communities. Be sure to read our insightful interview with the Indian ambassador to the Kingdom of Bahrain, HE Piyush Srivastava which is also available on our YouTube channel via QR code and digital edition auto-play. Did you know that a Bollywood film shot in Bahrain held its premiere here last month? We spoke to Adnan Malik, a former journalist-turned-filmmaker/actor who took a leap of faith to make the movie. In our dining section you’ll find plenty of fantastic listings from some of the very best restaurants in the Kingdom. We also had the pleasure of dining at the opulent Indian restaurant at The Ritz-Carlton Bahrain, Nirvana, which was truly a special experience. Woman This Month continues to be the ultimate source of fashion, beauty and parenting in the region. This is, of course, in addition to a very inspiring interview with the young new president of Rotaract Bahrain, Razan Jamal. She shares her insights on the achievements of the community-driven organisation and the plans for her tenure. Our 300th issue has plenty for you to look forward to, so needless to say, Bahrain This Month (as always) continues to be, ‘Your Guide to a Great Way of Life!’ THE TEAM Publisher and Chairman George F.
