Candid impressions

Since I've been asked to record my candid impressions of the events that occurred over the weekend, in which a motley band of bloggers found themselves locked in each other's strange and charming company, I have no choice but to admit the truth. It was incredible! From the wild, and tragic, ride through Sharjah's back alleys to the newfound joys 0f manndi, it was one massive "sugar rush" and I would like to thank my companions for a great time. I would especially like to thank that one person, who I don't want to embarass by naming, who, at a moment's notice, graciously welcomed me into his home and went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable. For those who don't know me, that is no mean feat - karrvakarela, remember? - and that O did it so effortlessly and with such consummate grace speaks so well of his gift for hospitality. Insha-Allah, I sincerely hope this is the start of a beautiful friendship. As for you, crazy person who asked me for my comments (aa bael, mujhe maar), may Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'aala keep your heart as generous and as unfettered by vanity as we've been fortunate to witness.
