By bilalr on Thu, 30/05/2013 - 8:57pm

Laysh: to read or not to read is an initiative that calls upon people across Qatar (and internationally!) to upload a 1-2 minute video about their relationship with reading.

Here are some videos that I watched:

Hello guys,

Is anyone interested in starting a book club with me in Doha?
we can meet once a month, or once in two weeks, and discuss the book we all decide to read together...

it'll make the pleasure of reading an interesting book even more exciting if u have a bunch of people to share your opinions, perception and experience with....
I used to be part of a book club in Dubai before i moved here... and i can tell u there was nothing like the anticipation of my book club meeting after a hectic few weeks at work!

if anyone is interested (men, women, boys, girls.. anyone!) drop me a line here or on xahiira/-a-t-/gmail.com and we can bring in a few friends we may know of that are interested and expand r group slowly and steadily...

we could plan our first meet at Timmies!! :D

By Doha Socialite on Tue, 28/05/2013 - 11:54am
Posted in:

The Doha Players are proud to present the Doha premiere of “Hot Mikado”, opening at Awsaj Academy Auditorium 29th May to 1st June 2013.

Featuring well-drawn comic characters, toe tapping music, witty dialogue, and vibrantly coloured sets and costumes this show guarantees a fun night at the theatre.

Originally run in the West End in 1995, east meets west head-on in this hilarious 1940's-style updating of the Gilbert and Sullivan classic.

With the music transformed into jazz, blues, swing and scorching torch songs and 'Three Little Maids' turned into an Andrew Sisters' show-stopper, this zoot-suited, tap-dancing colourful show is certain to provide the ideal evening out for the whole family.

Year after Villaggio, silence is deafening

By shabina921 on Tue, 28/05/2013 - 9:31am

One year ago today, 19 people - mostly small children - lost their lives in what now appears to have been a preventable disaster.

As images spread across the world - of thick smoke billowing from Villaggio mall, of firefighters looking confused and unprepared, of parents breaking down in tears of grief, of lifeless children being pulled from the roof - the question on everyone’s lips was, “Why? Why is this happening?”

In the days after the fire, local media and government officials called for action and accountability, and for lessons to be learned. But a year later, those voices have all gone quiet.

However, Doha News has taken coverage of this story seriously, and sought to bring a critical depth of reporting to Qatar’s community over the past year.
