At least now I understand what is happening. My profession has helped me broaden my knowledge on what is happening around me. I know my parents worry about my chosen job, but secretly they also admire what I’m doing. Farida is still aghast at my being a columnist and so are some of my other friends apart from Altine, who has still not yet returned from Qatar!
They all wonder why I am doing this when my parents can help. But then again, if I did that what impression would I be sending out? ‘ Who would I be without my parents ‘?? Ah well, I am happy to say the money my parents spent on my education was not wasted, I am making good use of it. And soon, I hope by God’s special grace to reap my reward. So, back to the fuel subsidy removal issue. I’m told it may take some months and we are not talking of ‘a month or couple of months.”
