Welcome to another jam-packed edition of Bahrain This Month, which we're proud to say is equal parts information and entertainment. Summer isn't over just yet, so you can make the most of August through our happenings section, which has a variety of entertaining events, and nightlife venues featured. If you're more of a morning person, you'll find lots to amuse you in our summer entertainment feature and can find even more events on bahrainthismonth.com. Diplomatic relations between the Republic of India and the Kingdom of Bahrain were established 52 years ago. Interestingly enough, the two nations have historical relations that can be traced back 5000 years to the period of Bahrain's Dilmun civilisation. To mark India's Independence Day on August 15, we proudly present the special India in Bahrain supplement, which covers various facets that strengthen present-day ties, including industrial collaborations, banking, travel, creative arts, and more. We also feature iconic Indians in Bahrain who have played a role in developing these ties. Meanwhile, our special feature on education in Bahrain highlights some of the very best educational establishments from pre-school to university. You can also find out why Canadian School Bahrain, as seen on our cover, is the prime choice for many parents. While there's no dearth of interviewees in this month's edition, we are happy to introduce you to the young Bahraini artist, Salman Aljar, who is passionate about changing the perceptions surrounding street art. A very talented young man indeed! With our special focus on India in Bahrain, we reviewed the sensational Indian cuisine at Rasoi by Vineet located at Gulf Hotel Bahrain. This restaurant is set apart from others on the island due to the fact that its chef patron is none other than Vineet Bhatia – the first Indian chef to be awarded a Michelin star. Brunches, dinners, and monthly specials at some of Bahrain's finest restaurants can also be found in our dining section. In our motoring section, you'll find interesting facts and figures on India's famous rickshaws and be brought up to speed on the latest in motoring news. Meanwhile, in our commerce section, Pria Masson talks about the booming world of Edtech, which is expected to reach a global market value of USD 605 billion by 2027. In Woman This Month, we interview corporate employee turned wellness coach Amreeta Mohandas, who shares her harrowing tale of being diagnosed with two autoimmune conditions. She speaks about how the ancient Indian wellness practice of Ayurveda helped her heal and recover, and how the power of habit can turn a person's life around. You'll also find the very best of beauty essentials to beat the summer heat and Genny's beautiful resortwear collection in our fashion section. In our contributors' section, Ouiam El Hassani gives advice on how to deal with eight-year-olds, while Eman Deabil shares in-depth guidance on how to create a sustainable organisation.
