| Dear Baptist and Joel, do not be discouraged by these foolish comments from a person who is not even ready to disclose his identity and not participating actively. You will get many more such persons who are simply jealous of people gather together and having happy moments. Remember, people will speak about you only when you do something for the society and not when you do not do any good. It is impossible to make everyone happy, as long as you are doing good for the society, go ahead. Call such people one or two times for meetings and gatherings. When they do not attend and only talk on your back, just ignore them. Writing comments or talking someones back is very easy, but when the time comes for action you will see the real color. | |

| Dear Well wishers to BV Bahrain, I and our commitee thank you all for your enthusiastic wishes and suggestions. Everybody working in Gulf know their pain and busy life. Out of this we gather to find some relaxation and happiness. We surely not gather here to think about making charity or anything, because individually we all do little charity without publishing. Purely under BV Bahrain we gather to share our love and happiness to each other and to support each other. So along with our lovely BV Bahrain members I invite interested belle and releted to belle people working in Bahrain to join us, and enjoy the life for a possitiveness. | |

| Here we go! B/V member Bahrain, it is the reality that people like you still exist in this world with their selfish motive hiding their faces. You have agreed to attend the last two functions of BV, bahrain, and put your comments, being a member yourself it is sure that you have not attended any of our members meetings, which are held almost every month, we always encourage every member to participate in every activity, if you had attended the meetings then the matters we discuss and agree upon and the transparency in all matters discussed should have known to you, so it is sad that we the few taking out precious time out to work hard towards BV, Bahrain activities that too for people like you. It is easy to comment from outside without doing anything but coming and enjoying the functions, but come forward and take up some challenges of BV and then put forward your ideas and thoughts, then there is value for your comments. Don t discourage with your jealous comments. We have successfully completed two years, and there is always scope for improvement, rather giving negative comments come and work with the elected committee members and show with what you are made off....... | |

| Dear BV Member Bahrain, stop being crucked! You can take horse to water....can you make it drink water!! Look at the beautiful pictures of celebrations and happy moments!! Enjoy and try to contribute if possible!! If new members are not seen around...do not try to find fault with others!!! You calling yourself a member and you should know it all...if you do not know the anwer, do not (in)directly compell other BV members to do desired 100%...which is a tough ask! They are busy mate!!! For you and me it is easy to write a few line comment holding others responsible than otherwise!! No substatial new members is concern for BV and similar organizations world wide! Catholic churches world wide too are finding it difficult to get new priests...!! Can we write few words and blame the situation???? Grow up mate and be a good member!!! | |

| Dear Arun I have been to last two function only i saw last committee members and their families plus present committee members and their families nobody else only few others that s it then what we expect from B/V Bahrain about charity work or social work I am a regular member and also well wisher too, I wonder why member strength coming down, May be our Belleans has lost interest or Bahrain s political instability or some members one man show, may be some minor politics We Belleans should unite to find out its causes make an survey for its survival My personal opinion about charity business we should give our first preference to our members make them happy after that we will see charity or anything else. | |

| In the past, I used to loiter around downtown Manama and peek into those clubs and sanghas looking for potrade and Udipi vegetarian dishes during my brief visits to Bahrain. In the future, I will head to BV club asking if they need a literary secretary...:D. Keep smiling, enjoying and registering bachelor men and single women on work visas who may live isolated or are not regular church-goers. And please do not drive if you have had some drinks on the house. Take a bleep taxi! :( sorry, I am a spoilsport:( | |
