Real stories about real people. Ordinary people who did
extraordinary acts. Our third edition of People brings forth
stories about the magic and passion of people who hitherto
remained unseen, unknown and unheard except among their
small circle and thus would have vanished into oblivion.
While we resist from making claims, we still want to put
forward the fact these are people of a generation that may
slowly slip from our minds and hearts. Our humble attempt
is to depict a past hitherto untold and bring alive people who
deserve to be forever in our hearts.
Once again with People, we bring to you ordinary tales of
people who touched others, not only through their work,
but also through their personal humanity. As we speak, we
can’t but bring to your attention the man who inspired them
all and the man who actually made Oman possible – His
Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said! As we salute His Majesty
the Sultan on the occasion of the 42nd anniversary of our
National Day, let us also thank him for making all our
dreams come true!
Collectively, the stories in this issue of People, form a
fascinating mosaic describing the lives of ordinary people who
have touched all of us in extraordinary ways. From the true
grit story of a mere 12 year old making waves in the radio in
1970 to someone who braved the heat and stood for hours
under a sweltering sun just to do his duty, these stories are
not just compilation of incidents or anecdotes, but of people
– real people, who were anything but ordinary!
Enjoy reading!

People of yore brought aliveOur 1970’s opus bring forth a variety of heartwarming stories of people who made their
mark in the lives of many and helped bring about the wondrous world we see around
today.
With their sweat and blood, their dreams and vision, these men and women, along with
this country’s chief architect and great visionary, His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said,
brought about the towering structure of modern Oman.
This book provides a glimpse into the past and brings several aspects of it alive.
Astounding in their own right, these stories also bring several historical contexts, the
untold past, clearly and fascinatingly alive so that we are able to interlace them with the
current to make it an oral history that is forever embedded in posterity.
The interest these people and many others have taken to bring the past and its
protagonists alive and well is again a testimony to the love, care and attention Omanis
have for their country, their people, past and present. There is a genuine need from
their side to chronicle the past and preserve it and thus, from our end, it is an enriching
exercise that brings in rich dividends as we are able to become the mouthpieces of a
unique generation that we hope to keep alive forever through this book!
Once again, thank you people!

Sheikh Breik Al Ghafri is a name that is forever embedded in the hearts of the living. This is a name that will be remembered with reverence amongst all of those who lived in the 70’s when His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said took over the reigns of the Sultanate and began the nation building process.

Sheikh Breik bin Hamood Al GhafriFormer governor and minister of state for Dhofar
Some people die and memories of them just slowly fade away
into oblivion. That is life.
But, here is one man whom many in Oman can never forgot:
Sheikh Breik bin Hamood Al Ghafri, the former governor
and minister of state for Dhofar.
Sheikh Breik Al Ghafri is a name that is forever embedded
in the hearts of the living. This is a name that will be
remembered with reverence amongst all of those who lived in
the 70’s when His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said took over
the reigns of the Sultanate and began the nation building
process.
Sheikh Breik’s name is synonymous with service, dedication
and loyalty. His contribution to unifying the diverse forces in
the Dhofar region and in executing the vision of His Majesty
the Sultan with such unerring efficiency is eternally encrypted
in the annals of the Sultanate’s glorious history.
More importantly, his ability to succeed and his
determination to fulfill a task given by his leader are character
traits that should be emulated, say many. Others also
remember him as a man who stood unflinching in the biggest
of storms and faced challenges with a supreme will and a firm
resolve to win.
“He always set an example’,” recalls Dr Hammad Hamed
Al Ghafri, advisor to the ministry of civil service, who is not
only related to Sheikh Breik but also had the privilege to
work alongside him.
All of those who knew him heap great praise on him and
say that Sheikh Breik also played a very significant role in
His Majesty’s ascension to the throne. “He played a very
important role in the events that transpired on July 23, 1970
in Oman,” Dr Hammad stressed, adding that Sheikh Breik
was a man who seriously propagated the vision and values of
His Majesty, whom he revered and adored.
During the early years, when Oman faced insurgency in
Dhofar, it was Sheikh Breik, one of the key officials, who was
entrusted with the task of handling that. “He was always on
duty, fulfilling the wishes of His Majesty and executing his
orders,” Dr Hammad noted.
Sheikh Breik was a man of qualities and immense valour.
“His role in supporting His Majesty in his progressive and
victorious march forward is something that can be forever
extolled. Few had the capacity that he had. Whatever there
was to be done, he did it; the understanding that His Majesty
shared with Sheikh Breik is legendary. It was almost as
Sheikh Breik could read His Majesty’s thoughts and execute
them before he was even told to do them. Such was their
connection!”
“I think for close to nine years, Sheikh Breik, following His
Majesty’s will, worked tirelessly to give the Omani people
whatever they were deprived off during the pre-Renaissance
days.
“In short, with His Majesty leading from the front to create
a brave new world for Oman and Omanis, Sheikh Breik
became one of the chief protagonists in this drive to progress.
“Not for one moment did he falter. Everyday of his waking
life was spent on realising His Majesty’s dream of a modern
Oman,” Dr Hammad said, adding that what led to the
success of Sheikh Breik in his endeavours was his sincere

approach and untiring perseverance. “He was a man who lived, breathed and loved Oman and its people!”
Sheikh Breik was born in Salalah in 1934. He studied in the famous Al Saiydiyah School in Salalah. His
father, Sheikh Hamoud bin Hamad Al Ghafri was the Wali of Dhofar. Therefore, Sheikh Breik was
exposed to the world of governance at a very young age. It also gave him an insight into the challenges
that particular part of Oman faced and slowly gave him an idea as to how to rise above these challenges.
“Getting close to His Majesty the Sultan was a turning point in his life. He understood the far reaching
vision of His Majesty and believed in his values.
Sharing the vision of His Majesty for the need of a wholesome change in Oman, he set about to slowly
work in the direction that His Majesty had wanted the country to move. Top on his agenda was the need to
bring about a change in Dhofar and to restore peace in the area.
Unlike many, Sheikh Breik was a man who took the bull by its horns and he confronted every problem in
this manner. He did not let anyone else fight for him, a fact that was witnessed in the manner he used to
travel on the mountains in Dhofar to look into the welfare of the people affected.

“His Majesty was concerned about the welfare of each and
every citizen in Oman and Sheikh Breik was given this task
to make sure that everyone was well taken care of.
“He used to tour the mountainous areas and found out
ways to develop them and would be constantly on the move
checking out both mountains and valleys in this regard. It
was not easy to move about in the mountains, but he was
indifferent to the harshness of the mountain areas and slowly
by dint of hard work and tireless effort, he managed to bring
about change in the area.
He achieved in not only in developing the harsh environment
but also brought about security, stability and peace there.”
Following the instructions of His Majesty, he also made
sure that the immediate requirements for progress like
education; water and electricity and other necessary amenities
were all provided for. I remember that he was the one who
introduced the project of the ‘flying doctors’”. These facts
were also featured in a documentary – prepared upon the
order of His Majesty, the Sultan – on Sheikh Breik, which
27
was shown on Oman TV in 1979 after his demise.
Other than being the governor and state minister of Dhofar,
Sheikh Breik also headed many committees of projects,
including those of prime importance like the project for fuel
tanks in Port Raysut.
Following the advice and instructions of His Majesty, he also
devoted particular attention to the development of the youth.
Every act was done as per His Majesty’s instructions and
he always brought to attention the greatness of their ruler.
To a magazine in Salalah he was quoted as saying that the
advent of the Sultan brought in light after darkness; satiety
after hunger and health and prosperity. Such was his love and
devotion to his leader and his equal commitment to his duty
in serving the nation.
“Words fail me when I try to explain about Sheikh Breik –
he was undisputedly a brave man who was known to rush
into where angels feared to tread. Above all, he was a devoted
soldier to His Majesty and would rush to do his bidding
come what may.
He is truly missed by all who come in contact with him and
he will remain forever in our hearts as a flame that will never
die!” Dr Hammad noted.

I believe every woman should learn the Holy Quran; it will help her live a life of goodness and also help her bring up the kids and keep the family growth progressively. Learning the right qualities from your mother will take you places and home is the only place where all values are taught
IsQlaut

Zawan bint Salim Abdullah Al AlawiTeacher of Holy Quran
As a mere 13-year old girl, (Moulima) Zawan bint
Salim Abdullah Al Alawi, was considered to be a natural
“phenomenon” having memorised the Holy Quran and
also teaching it at the Sidab School in Sidab, Muscat.
Memorising the Holy Quran and to also be able to teach it to
others at such a young age was a gift – a gift from the Lord
Almighty himself, but at that age, (Moulima) Zawan was the
epitome of simplicity and quite oblivious to the effect and
sway she had on people thanks to her unique ability.
Those living in Sidab would crowd around her; some curious;
some wanting to know more about the Holy Quran, but all
of them, always treating her with reverential respect. Piety is
usually lost among teenagers of her age and even if there are
many youngsters who dive into religion with great fervour,
this natural inclination to holiness and the sheer devotion to
the Almighty at her age was something unusual and people
recognised it in that right manner.
Nearly 60-odd years later, the piousness has not only
increased with the age, but the simplicity of this religious
teacher has also deepened. There is clearly something that
sets Moulima Zawan apart from many of her age and
beyond…a kind of spirituality; her knowledge and her
peaceful demeanour rested around her like an invisible halo.
Moulima Zawan was still a family household name to all of
those who resided near her home in ‘Dhofar’ in Sidab. And
loyal neighbours like Amur Thani Al Nasser who led us to
meet the grand old woman of religion was still in awe with
her. She was to all of them still a revered teacher, although
she quit teaching the Holy Quran a decade or so back.
We all gathered inside her spartan and simple home as she
spoke about the holy path she took at a very young age and
how despite stopping the actual teaching, she was still fully
immersed in faith and devoutness.
Surrounded by her grandchildren, the lady who spread
the light of piety in Sidab, spoke about her life and how
the 1970s ushered in great progress to the nation with the
emergence of a great visionary leader, His Majesty Sultan
Qaboos bin Said.
“My mother was a teacher of the Holy Quran for many years
and the atmosphere at home was very conducive to learning
the Holy Quran. I was born in Sidab and at that time there
was just one school. I went to the primary school initially.
But my mother was my first teacher in every sense of the
word.
I started learning the Holy Quran from my mother and by
the time I was 12, I was quite familiar with the intricacies
of the verses and its essence. I started teaching at the Sidab
School at 13. Since then my life has been only about teaching
the young kids, until 2002.
Every day from 7am to 11am was dedicated to the young.
Those days there were not many schools and teachers. In fact
I was the only teacher in the Sidab area. We lived in a place
called the Dhofar area in Sidab, because of a settlement of
families from the Dhofar region. Starting from the age of
13, I gave lessons of the Holy Quran at various places other
than the school in Sidab, taught at the Omani Women’s
association and taught children under the trees too.
All women should learn the Holy Quran
“I believe every woman should learn the Holy Quran; it will
help her live a life of goodness and also help her bring up
the kids and keep the family growth progressively. Learning
the right qualities from your mother will take you places and
home is the only place where all values are taught.
Significance of the Holy Quran
“It was considered very important to learn the Holy Quran
in those days. The Holy Quran has a lesson and the right
morals to guide you in every path you choose to take. It is an
encyclopaedia of wisdom and learning the verses has been
the purpose and identity of my life. It has given me immense
faith in life, on Almighty Allah and the religious path of
Islam. I am fortunate to have chosen this path and be able to
teach the young generation the path of the Holy Quran. I
being the only teacher in the region, I have taught the Holy
Quran to thousands of students, all living exemplary lives
in senior and responsible positions today. This is one school
where all the students, the rich and the poor, whatever family
they belong to sit together with equality and respect and
study. It was a great leveler! There is no discrimination of any
sorts and the lessons of the Holy Quran go a long way.
30
31
A lesson to be carried throughout
“This is one school of life that will help you learn life in
its true essence. It teaches you to be a good human being.
When you have respect for another human being and feel
accountable for your deeds, the society will be a better place
to live in. We, as elders, need to make the youth understand
the values of the Holy Quran. It is sad to see the youth chase
after foreign degrees and extracurricular activities, while
they find no time to recite a verse from the Holy Quran. His
parents too do not find it important today, which is probably
one of the reasons for the discontent and unhappiness that
you see all around. Tell me one educational certificate you
can carry along when you die... you invest your best years
to study, excel and get in to a career using educational
qualifications. Graduation to professional degrees will not
come with you. All educational qualifications fail, when
you are not a good human being. You will fail to use your
qualifications the right way, if you are not of good character.
But the lessons of the Holy Quran will elevate your thought
processes, make you life better, enhance your character and
still be a part of you after your life. The Holy Quran will
benefit you when you are alive and when you are dead too.
Teaching the Holy Quran in the ‘70’s
“As a teacher I learnt many lessons of life that helped me
live a simple life. Teaching has made me confident and
also become a leader. The 1970s saw a new Oman being
planned and created. If you look at the opportunities ladies
have today, I can proudly say Oman is one country where
womenfolk are given all opportunities in life, from education
to arts and science, and in corporate and national governance
too. I am proud to be an Omani and salute His Majesty
Sultan Qaboos bin Said who made Oman a better place to
live in. The progress and development is unique and is not
instant. It is the hard work and dedication of many under
the wise leadership of His Majesty the Sultan. We all should
strive hard to maintain the pace of the progress to create
a new and positive world. Oman today has thousands of
schools, and the youth should make the maximum of the
facilities available and serve the nation to progress. Progress
is one thing that has to be on going.
Place your faith in the Holy Quran
“I wish the younger generation will attend the Holy
Quran classes along with the regular academics. The older
generation was equipped to face the challenges of life because
they were strong in character and had morals to guide
them forward. Values and virtues of life is a must in every
individual and the belief in Almighty Allah and the Holy
Quran will take the youth on a guided path of goodness.
I used to stitch my own clothes by hand, later by a small
machine at home. Today after the wheels of progress, there
are no limitations to facilities and comforts. After 42 years,
Oman is one of the best places in the world to live in...”
Moulima Zawan’s neighbour, Amur Thani Al Nasseri spoke
of her in loving fashion. She was known to be a teacher par
excellence, he said, adding that it was a blessing to be able to
bask in the wisdom of a great teacher.
“Moulima Zawan was the only Holy Quran teacher in those
days. She is one of the wisest then and still is. I am fortunate
to have known her, learnt from her and my wife too remains
her student. The wisdom of the elders is a blessing that
should be cherished by all of us. Without the wise and the
learned, no country can move forward.
“Sitting with Moulima Zawan for even 10 minutes, you will
leave as a better person, because every word she speaks of is a
lesson of life. She is a simple lady and has more stories to tell
us as life experiences than any other university of the world.
We approach her as adviser and when we leave her, we go
enlightened and worry free!”

Sheikh Ahmed was a man of the 70s and a pioneer in the world of real estate and construction in Oman and at 82, he is an active man. The passion and love for the nation, still burns very bright in him

Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed Al SalmiSetting a fine example
Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed Al Salmi stood silently
taking in the scene. His son, Khalil bin Ahmed Al Salmi,
deputy Ceo of Oman Drydock Company SAOC, had taken
him to Duqm and both father and son slowly took in the
changed landscape. Both stood in reverential silence at the
amazing progress and the breathtaking transformation of the
topography of Duqm.
A small fishing town was now a fast-developing industrial
hub: a crude oil export terminal; strategic storage facility;
free trade zone; downstream industrial area; airport; port;
drydock; commercial and residential areas; various other
tourism development and the fact that it is now seen as a
maritime gateway…
Sheikh Ahmed Al Salmi was given a tour of Duqm by his
son, Khalil Al Salmi and the former well known businessman
and Majlis A’Dawla member?
stood transfixed by the undulating terrain that this new
industrial destination has become over the period of years.
Sheikh Ahmed Salmi turned to his son and broke the silence:
“To create something with a vision is progress and Duqm
reflects that!”
Khalil Al Salmi still remembers the expressive smile that his
father gave him when he uttered the above statement.
80 plus and still active
At 82, Sheikh Ahmed is an active man. The passion and love
for the nation, still burns very bright in him. “I remember
the reflection of pride and joy in his eyes when I took him
around to the different regions of Oman. His experienced
eyes lit up with pride as he viewed the extensive progress
our wise ruler, His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said,” Khalil
Salmi said, speaking about his beloved father.
Landscape reflects progress
“’The changed landscape of Duqm reflects the progress that
will be ushered in the years to follow. The landscape of the
dry desert changes positively when its people toil hard and
together to bring not just life – but, a life of bliss!
“This is our land, our nation and only good will from toiling
for it; today’s hard work will bring in a greener tomorrow.”
For Khalil Salmi any positive word from his father is itself
a matter of pride. “Therefore when he heaped praise on the
way Duqm has transformed itself, somehow, I being part of
the change too, felt great pride.”
A man of the 70s
Sheikh Ahmed was a man of the 70s and a pioneer in the
world of real estate and construction in Oman. “My father
always took the road less travelled, grabbed every opportunity
that came his way and managed to trailblaze a path in the
real estate and construction arena in the early 70s,” Khalil
Salmi fondly recalled.
Challenges then; challenges today
Khalil was just six when he came along with his father from
Kuwait in the 70s. “His Majesty the Sultan had just taken
over the reigns of this country, and that was the start of
progress and development here. It was an uphill task then,
but with true grit and perseverance, the people of the 70s
overcame the odds. The trials and tribulations and the sheer
challenges they all faced were many, but people like Sheikh
Ahmed took all of this in their stride. And they were not the
type to think that they were the only ones to face challenges.
“I recall the words of my father who had something to say
about this: ‘Every generation faces its own share of challenges
– we had ours – now, you have yours!
‘Life goes on to give its beings a share of experiences and I
would say that no challenge can be compared to another.’”
Khalil bin Ahmed Al Salmi, son of Sheikh Ahmed bin
Mohammed Al Salmi

religion and knowledge with the field of business. So every
life experience became a lesson that was passed on to us
by him -- lessons that were unique and untold by anyone
else; tales that gave us an insight into life at the same time
teaching us a moral behind it.
These experiences narrated by him took us in the right
direction, be it business or family life. He is a wide read man
and full of wisdom.”
Life hero
Khalil always followed in his father’s footsteps; learning from
his experiences. “He was my hero. We are eight siblings
and our father put us on the right path, urging us very hard
to focus on good education. He made us understand the
significance of education in a nation’s growth and made sure
that we went to the right school.
I consider myself very fortunate that I have a leader at home
whom I can blindly follow, if the need arises. In fact I idolise
him, he is my role model, my hero. Every day with him is
like a story unfolding for me to learn.”
The Majlis effect
Sheikh Ahmed settled in Seeb since the late 70s and since
the family was from the Bidiyah region, he travels to the
village and back whenever possible, Khalil noted.
He also explained how his father had great love for people
and always managed to engage them in relevant dialogues
and interesting discussions over a variety of topics.
“Meeting people, sitting at a traditional Majlis, discussing
topics, issues and events were a day-to-day affair in my
father’s life.
“He was an open-minded man and very tolerant; probably
his depth of knowledge through learning and books gave
him enough insight to worldly views. He still loves to meet
people, sit with them and talk about current issues. Just being
a silent spectator in the Majlis with him has opened my mind
and gave me glimpses of what people can do as a team, be it
problem solving or just a simple decision making. The Majlis
is one of the finest examples of human interaction and brain
storming.”
Still active
Today, although leading a retired life, Sheikh Ahmed is still
active. “Yes, he has retired from his business life as well as
from the Majlis A’Dawla (state council). But his mind is very
active still...” says this devoted son.
Challenges open minds, doors
Khalil points out how in the 70s, people in Oman faced all
the hardships that a country that had just opened its door
to development faced. “It was a difficult life – there was no
electricity, water and many basic facilities. Today, we are
blessed with everything – but, life is still full of challenges;
times have changed bringing in a new set of challenges!
“But my father made us understand that in whatever phase
we were, challenges would remain. So, we have to face the
challenges wisely and that is how we open the doors to
growth and development, my father used to say.”
A family of scholars
Detailing about his family, Khalil explained how they mainly
comprised of scholars and also those steeped in the study and
propagation of religion.
“We have a lineage that believed strongly in knowledge and
education – this was given the topmost importance! We also
believed in culture and tradition and adopted those values as
the very core of our being.
The right direction
“My father is a man who balanced both – the world of

Call him what you will. But mention that name in any
circles – business or otherwise -- in Oman and it will receive
automatic reverence. To reach a stage where your name
becomes a household one is not a mean achievement. It has
to be earned, every step of your life. That is what Oman’s
only Indian Sheikh of the Indian community has achieved
over these years – a name that is part and parcel of Oman’s
business world. A name that is already embedded in the
Sultanate’s history for the roles it has played in the nation
building process too.
But, other than those who have come face to face with this
towering personality among businessmen in Oman, not many
would have experienced the most unassuming personality
and sheer humility of this prominent Indian businessman,
who heads the largest and oldest business conglomerates in
Oman – Khimji Ramdas group.
Kanaksi, as he is fondly known, has this unique capacity to
not only make you feel at home but also make you feel that
you both have known each other since ages. His charm lies
in the easy and affable manner in which he greets you like
an old friend and takes it off from there. Perhaps, that is the
allure that has propelled him to the top and holds him close
to those whose lives he has touched. Prominent as he is in
the business arena, Kanaksi has also conquered the socio-
cultural segment, where his philanthropy and his keenness in
empowering the Omani youth by giving them the right tools
through education and training has given this grand old man
of the Indian diaspora and the company he founded a solid
foundation in the Sultanate.
But, although business is the forte of Kanaksi and his
family, their name will be prominently linked in the
annals of Oman’s history because of their age-old presence
in Oman; in the sense, they have actually grown along
with Oman. They were part of the pain; they were part of the
process of the country’s transition from a diffident country
to a forward looking nation; they have been there during
the march to progress and they are part of the success story
of what Oman is today… and that makes him an eligible
candidate of people who have been also part of the 70’s; part
of the Sultanate’s stride to progress.
Remembrance of things past
Kanaksi remembers the past, the early days where challenges
were aplenty and the hard times when everyone had to put
their best foot forward and bring about changes to make a
better life and therefore a better future for themselves and
their families.
Business in the family
“My great grand fathers were already established business
merchants and I was initiated in to business at a very
young age. I studied the basics in a Gujarati school here
in Oman and was sent to Mumbai for further studies. During
our holidays we used to come to Oman by ship to meet my
father, and it used to be a five (5) day travel then.
Oman was home to us because my family eked out a living
here. Though I was sent to India for studies, I was keener
on the other aspects like National Cadet Corps (NCC),
National Social Service (NSS) and scouts and at some point
even thought of joining the Indian army… But, finally
in 1956, I returned to Oman to join my family business
in Oman. I was in my early 20s,” says this septuagenarian
as he slowly takes us through an old memory lane, touching
upon various aspects, business as well as personal.
Career path
He began his career as a warehouse keeper in the family
business in 1956. “My father (Gokuldas Khimji) used to send
me to Sur by boat; there were no roads then.
We were in to the business of rice, spices and dried dates
then. These goods were distributed to different outlets with
the help of camels.
“The dates came in from the Bidiyah region on camels.
There was no help then, no transport, no labourers, not
even loaders. We had to do everything, from collecting the
provisions to maintaining the stock, arranging them, selling
them, maintaining accounts etc. Those days were hard, but
it taught us all to be self- reliant and hard work was like a
second nature to us. The experience was no lesser than any
business school! I worked between 1957 to 1958 in Sur, 1959
to 1960 in Salahah and then again in Muscat for a short spell
and was back in Salalah until 1963, after which I once again
was in Bombay, now Mumbai.

Oman before the 70s was of a different era. For someone who has seen Oman at that time and then to see it now can bring in a sense of awe. I am totally amazed at the 42 years of growth and development; what we see around today is unbelievable and I have no words to express other than gratitude and salutations to the wise leadership of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said who steered Oman from an era of limitations to an era of abundance

While in Salalah, I remember the currency/monies used
there was of pure silver (coins) and we also had white rupee
notes, which later became red currencies. One dollar was
equivalent to rupees thirteen and thirty three paisas, whereas
one silver coin was equivalent to three or three and a half
(3-3 ½ ) rupees, currently equivalent to OMR3 or OMR4.
Tough days, challenging times
There was a dearth of facilities ranging from electricity to
water to medical supplies; basic necessities. Water was used
from wells and we slept on the terraces, of course without
air conditioners. We had our breakfast on newspapers and
had to wash/bathe at a common well. We had to take turns
in doing so and everyone had to adhere to a specific time
schedule. I remember we had just one cook, who made meals
for all the staff at Muscat”
1970s and now
Oman before the 70s was of a different era. For someone
who has seen Oman at that time and then to see it now
can bring in a sense of awe. “I am totally amazed at the
42 years of growth and development; what we see around
today is unbelievable and I have no words to express other
than gratitude and salutations to the wise leadership of His
Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said who steered Oman from an
era of limitations to an era of abundance.
“There were just one or two schools then and today there are
innumerable schools and hospitals around the length and
breadth of the nation. When a nation focuses on the youth,
and its human resources, the nation is investing right. I have
witnessed Oman grow over the years in leaps and bounds.
No other country in the world has seen progressive growth
as Oman has and it is all because of the vision of our great
leader!”

Kanaksi is known for his keen interest in sports…Cricket is very close to him and he will hardly ever miss a game no
matter where it is played
One silver coin was equivalent to three or three and a half (3-3 ½ ) rupees, currently equivalent to OMR3 or OMR4
My father my role model
Everyone has an inspiration and a role model in life and in
Kanaksi’s case, his father was his main role model. “Whatever
I have learned in business is from him. He set the path for all
of us. He had served Oman even during the country’s war.
All rations were supplied by my father during that period.
My father had deep commitment for Oman and he loved
it as his own country. Every business he nurtured was in
the best interest of the community. We learned from his
experiences and he was a tough man who faced all challenges
with wisdom and prudence. He taught us to work with the
team and treat everyone with equality. If you are committed
to your career, there is no retirement age. When you don’t
stop eating or sleeping or carrying out other activities, why
would you retire from your career?” Kanaksi asks, displaying
a basic philosophy of life.
Work is worship
“I have learned to respect work and as my elders in the family
have taught us, there is no word called ‘retirement’ in my
dictionary too. I believe in hard work and even though my
family members call me a workaholic, I can only say I love
my work and believe that it is my identity and purpose of life.
It keeps me active, feel alive in the best possible way and in
touch with people, which is of prime importance.”
Cricket and other hobbies
Of course, it is not all work and no play... Kanaksi is known
for his keen interest in sports…Cricket is very close to
him and he will hardly ever miss a game no matter where
it is played. “I have my own hobbies. I love cricket and
other games. I have taken part in athletics, played tennis,
badminton and golf,” says the chairman of Oman Cricket
Board.
No regrets
The early years of Oman were very simple, sans
complications. “You work; you earn and live your life. We
never had singular dreams; we worked in teams and shared
everything. I remember that I did not have a table of my
own in the office for nearly 10 years. I worked in almost all
capacities from a delivery boy to cashier to a purchase man.
We worked 10 to 15 hours a day without counting the hours
or watching the clock.
“Life is a great university and it teaches you all lessons.
I hope my sons and future generations take the business
forward with the same commitment and dedication. It was
a moment of pride when I was selected as the Sheikh of the
community (March 31, 1990).
I was the first Indian to be selected as a sheikh from Muscat.
I can confidently look back with pride and say that I have
lived a life with no regrets!”

ago -- in 1870 -- Ramdas Thackersey set sail to Oman from the
coastal town of Mandvi in Kutch, Gujarat, India. Ramdas’ son,

become the current global enterprise, which was named after him.

In a country where the traffic was slowly gaining ground in tandem with the progress, traffic personnel played an unusually dominant role in controlling it. Abdullah Ghulam Qader Balushi played a very prominent role in this field, serving over 24 years as a traffic policeman

Abdullah Ghulam Qader Al Balushi
Traffic man of Muttrah
This is the story of a true test of patience, perseverance and
persistence…
This is the story of a man who stood in Muttrah for nearly 13
to 14 years rooted to the same spot just before the Muttrah
Police Station…
This is the story of a man with badge number 52…and then
later, 58…
This is the story of Abdullah Ghulam Qader Al Balushi,
a 65-year old retired Royal Oman Police (ROP) traffic
personnel.
It takes all kinds of people to make a nation, and for
Oman, which took its first fledgling steps towards progress
and prosperity in the 70’s under the wise leadership of
His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said, everyone who did
something; everyone who contributed something to the
nation building process mattered.
And in such a country where the traffic was slowly gaining
ground in tandem with the progress, traffic personnel played
an unusually dominant role in controlling it. Abdullah
Ghulam Qader Balushi played a very prominent role in this
field, serving over 24 years as a traffic policeman.
Speaking from his home in Mabela, the still sprightly
Abdullah Ghulam Balushi took us all into an old traffic lane
in Muttrah where he stood everyday for six hours straight,
without taking a break and with not even a swig of water. He
describes a scene quite unlike the chaotic traffic and deadly
roads of Oman, where innocents die on a daily basis.
Traffic in the early days of Oman was a far cry from this
rough and tumble scene on the roads today. Progress has
brought in its wake more death on the roads than ever and
if the sagely advice of this grand old man of traffic could be
taken, there would be less of mayhem on the roads today
brought upon by selfish, careless, and disrespectful motorists
who are driven by speed with scant disregard to the rights of
others on the road.
Abdullah Ghulam initially went to Bahrain in the mid 60s
looking for a job and worked there for a few months doing
odd jobs. “I returned to Oman in 1963 and joined the traffic
police department in 1964. Those days the traffic was quite
less; the cars were in limited numbers and people commuted
only during the day time. With just a simple and quick
briefing, I was posted as a traffic controller at the Muttrah
traffic post, which was next to the police station now.
“There were two of us at the Muttrah post, sharing the four
hourly schedules until the Maghrib prayers. Originally, I was
badge number 52 until I underwent training after the 70s and
became badge number 58!
Those days there were only two traffic control points -- one
in Muttrah and the other in Muscat. We took four hourly
duties to control and divert traffic. Those were tough times
as we had to stand for hours in the heat without even taking
a sip of water; but the traffic not as busy as it is today.
“We were of course provided with small hip pouches to carry
water. But in the heat the water would be as hot as tea and
therefore we would never even take a sip for fear of scalding
our lips.
The job was not hectic; the cars were right-hand driven, with
steering on the right hand side in the car. All we needed
was to use our common sense and divert the vehicles in a
disciplined manner. There was respect and responsibility on
the roads and people without any attitude obeyed the basic
traffic rules that existed those days. No one was big or small;
every one accepted the rules and signals our hands displayed
to maintain the road ethics, making life easier.”
Abdullah Ghulam received a salary of 110 Indian Rupees
then, which was quite a handful considering the expenses
at that time. After a year he received an increment of eight
rupees with a promotion.
Patience is a virtue
Life was on the slow lane then. Limitations were in
abundance, but acceptance was part of life too.
“My job as a traffic controller involved long hours of standing
and diverting/channeling the cars, which were not in big
numbers. The four hours would seem like eight hours in
the heat and left us hungry and tired in a short span of
time. I would say my strength was my patience and I had a
very tolerant attitude and a very understanding behaviour.
Though the job was challenging and monotonous, I knew it
was the path to the future.”

Muttrah in the early 70s

Duty came first
Jobs were very important then and people were tuned to
get employed in whatever field that was available. “We
were not choosy when it came to a job -- we took what we
got. But one commonality with all of us in the 60s and 70s
was that we believed that duty came first. No matter the
circumstances, we all attended to our work with priority.
My education was limited, but I was armed with an attitude
to work hard. I had a clear work ethic and the right stamina
to fulfill the responsibilities of my role, be a team member
and do whatever I did with dedication and commitment.
I knew I could make a difference in my own small way,
because every job counts, every effort brings in growth. I did
my bit, by being part of a chain of responsibilities shared by
many in those days. I had no complaints then and have no
complaints now.
“Life has given me its share of opportunities and I am happy
that I have dispersed my duties with sincerity. Our seniors
were also hard working and encouraged us to perform well.
Whenever there was a chance of growth and development we
were all part of it. I served around 12 to 13 years in the traffic
control section and later became part of other duties, retiring
in 1999.”
He served 30 years in the police, 24 as a staff (police) and six
years as a civilian staff.
The 1970s – before and after
The 70s under the new vision of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos
bin Said ushered in a new era of progress bringing about a
positive transformation in all fields. Earlier there were fewer
cars, lesser roads but then the 70’s saw growth and the roads
were created; the number of cars increased in numbers. There
were double and treble the number of cars on roads and the
traffic signals started functioning, making it easier to control
traffic effectively, says Abdullah Ghulam.
“Just as you see progress in every field, I lived the difference.
From a handful of cars in road, to abundance of food and
basic necessities, lifestyle got better.
“It was not so easy then: We used to share just a fish amongst
the three of us in those days, today, everything is different!”
In the early days, food was always limited; water and
electricity were a rare luxury. There was only one car – a Land
Rover for the top man in the force – the rest, walked.
Muttrah addiction
“I am still addicted to Muttrah and I love to walk. I prefer
to depend on myself and am physically active. There were
a few who came in and left because of the heat or lack of
amenities, but many stayed back and put in their mite. There
was respect and equality then and no one looked down upon
others.
Unforgettable moment
“I remember an unusual episode in the 70s, which showed
the greatness of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos. Without
realising who was in the car that came towards the traffic
control point, I stopped it. I couldn’t believe my eyes when
I realised that it was the car of His Majesty, the Sultan that
I had stopped! But, he did not say a word and just drove off
after I gave him the signal. I was astounded by the humility
of our great leader. He did not even frown at me; he just
acknowledged my greeting and moved after I made the
signal…I can never forget this moment!
“Life was simple and residents respected rules and regulations
including our wise leader who is a live example for all of us.”
A little more road tolerance
Today, all types of cars ply Oman’s busy roads. “We can
see thousands of international brands of cars here on our
roads. But, what is missing is the patience, tolerance and
understanding... maybe with a little more tolerance on roads
we can reduce the number of accidents today. We lacked
good roads and fast cars then. Speed is the killing factor
today and I hope and wish that the youth will be accountable
to themselves, rather than to others. When a mistake
was done, we used to speak to the driver and explain why
they should have done it. The driver also understood and
patiently listened to our explanations and promised not to
repeat the traffic offenses. It is a different scene today. The
offender feels he can get away by paying a fine, while the
authority concerned feels justified that a fine paid will close
the chapter! We need to go beyond this to actually stop road
accidents!”

When there is transformation happening in a country, the most important tool is communication and transparency. The right mode of communication will ensure smooth transition and confidence. “I am glad to look back and say with pride that in my own humble way, I made a difference in the communications and information department of the foreign affairs ministry
Wimcgafo

Ahmed Fareed bin Baqer Al LawatiSending the right message across
The sheer gravity of sending across the right message to the
people, to the world is not fully understood by many. In a
country, which was just emerging out of darkness and into
the light, the need to send the right communication across
was of paramount importance.
This explained the concern of a young ministry of foreign
affairs official who was trying to persuade the manager of
a publishing house that brought out a local newspaper to
immediately find out how a serious error had occurred in
its pages. This happened long ago, just after His Majesty
Sultan Qaboos bin Said took over as the leader of Oman
and therefore the need to have the right information out was
of greater importance. But, young men like Ahmed Fareed
bin Baqer Al Lawati fully understood the need for the right
communication.
Even today as he reminisces of the past, he is clear, precise
and perhaps even a bit concise, but the message comes across
in a lucid manner and there is no need to worry if some other
subliminal messages were being sent across or whether one
had to read between the lines.
Ahmed Fareed Al Lawati communicates in a simple, clear
manner. Like most of the Omanis then who had gone
abroad, Ahmed Fareed too returned when the call to return
came from Oman.
The 1970s
“We returned to Oman in 1972. Oman is our home country
and when the doors opened for all the Omanis to return,
we happily did with full knowledge of the limitations here;
we knew what to expect and what we had to do. Oman is
our nation and we were needed here and every single effort
counted those days,” Ahmed Fareed said, recalling the initial
days when the drive to build the nation began.
“In August 1972, I joined the information department of
the foreign affairs ministry as the minister’s office director. I
served the ministry of foreign affairs until 1984. The exposure
and experience in my earlier job in Bahrain in the early
50s, gave me the ability to attend to the office duties in a
professional manner,” he said.
In the early 50s, Ahmed Fareed’s late elder brother was
working with Grey Mackenzie, a well known British
company, in Bahrain. “He motivated me to equip myself
with office management, shorthand and touch typing skills.
When I completed the necessary courses, I got a job in the
same company as a steno typist. This job taught me the basics
of office management, consistency and administration in the
right way. Later, I joined a publishing house as a proof reader
and got initiated in to the world of journalism. In the 60s I
left Bahrain and joined the United Nation’s offices in Iraq.
These early job experiences helped me in setting up the path
at my job in the ministry of foreign affairs in Oman. The
international work experiences give you exposure to another
world, which you carry back home!”
Right communications
When there is transformation happening in a country, the
most important tool is communication and transparency. The
right mode of communication will ensure smooth transition
and confidence. “I am glad to look back and say with pride
that in my own humble way, I made a difference in the
communications and information department of the foreign
affairs ministry. The world was looking at our nation and
we had to provide right information. It was a responsible
portfolio, from a small photograph of His Majesty the
Sultan, to the local and international press coverage was
archived and recorded by my department. Our ministry
of foreign affairs has a U.N. department and we were
responsible for every information that went out and internally
50
too.” Ahmed Fareed recalls one such incident when one of
the local newspapers erroneously published a photo of His
Majesty saluting with his left hand. It was a mistake, but we
still had to get to the bottom of it. I was asked to find out
details as to how the error occurred. It was a bad weather
day and heavily pouring. When I reached the ministry of
information, everything was flooded and rooms were leaking,
water was flowing all around.
“We have no shelter here and you are asking me about
an error? The gentleman from the other side of the room
asked me jokingly. But, whatever the situation, it was no
laughing matter. I remember driving home the message to
him that the right communication was a must. The world
is watching… in the next 30 minutes, I found out how the
error occurred and I went back to the ministry. So we all
tried to get the things under control... the initial teething
troubles were common in all departments, but a handful
of good responsible citizens made the difference and
maintained sanity, doing their duties with utmost sincerity
and commitment!”
Tough times saw the emergence of tougher men and women
who worked along with His Majesty to tirelessly work for the
nation. “The 1970s saw many people joining hands to be part
of the renaissance movement initiated by our beloved leader
His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said. I would say selflessness
was an important attribute of all then; a trait that is hardly
ever seen today. All of us worked for one common cause –
our nation, guided and unified by one leader!”
Career took us places
In the early years, the government and the authorities
concerned planned to create healthy departments in all
sectors. “Time, money and energy were invested on training
people the right way. There were no standards to measure
and every career took people places. His Majesty the Sultan
has said that human resources are the assets of every nation.
It was true in Oman, in every sector.
I had my own share of opportunities and services, from being
the office director at the ministry of foreign affairs to being
the advisor at the economic planning affairs office and the
undersecretary at the ministry of health, my career had many
moments I can be proud of. I was also part of the production
team of the Sultan Qaboos encyclopedia of Arabic names
while I was serving at the economic planning affairs office I
was awarded the Certificate of Merit from His Majesty for
my services,” Ahmed Fareed said. In 1997, he retired. He
was 60 then, putting in a total of 25 years of service.
Money was not important
A striking difference between then and now is the money
factor. Rather, the need for money. Today, people are more
interested in making as much they can and are not bothered
about what they should give. That was not the situation then.
Most people took home very little and there was no one
grumbling; there were no protests.
“We all had meager remunerations. It did not matter then.
All we wanted was to work hard and prove to ourselves and
the world by pushing Oman towards progress. We wanted
our country to have what every other country had and more.
We all know there would be situations in life where money
will not be the criteria to life and living. The 1970s was one
such decade that changed the face of the country. There were
no basic amenities, schools, educated personnel… but the
country got a new leader who had a great vision. Oman had
people who were ready to do the bidding of their leader and
they were ready to work extra to reach their goals!” explained
Ahmed Fareed.
Passing the baton
After 42 years, there is no need to put the progress achieved
in mere words. “All we need to do is to look around!” Ahmed
Fareed enthuses.
“The nation’s visionary invested on its people and today we
are at a place where we can be proud to be called an Omani.
“My three daughters Majida, Muna and Sumaiya could
be well educated and my nine grand children enjoy a
well settled life, full of opportunities, education and other
facilities. No other country in the world would have seen
such a remarkable growth and transformation in such a short
span of four decades. As seniors and elders, we should pass
on the life experiences to our youth and encourage them to
learn appreciation!” he exhorts.

I had an eight hour schedule at the radio -- my duty timings were from 3 to 11pm. But that was not an issue. I was not very fond of music as I was in a room and profession where music was played throughout. There were days when I slept off during the late hours. My father was a great help; he used to come and pick and drop me to the radio station. Then, slowly, as time passed by, I began to understand the role I was playing and that was when I really began to love it very much

Muna Al Mandheri
Youngest female news reader of the 70s
It was an audition for a kid’s programme in the radio.
Read the news, the radio officials said.
So, she read the news. She did not know what it was all
about, but they told her to read, and so the 12 year old did
that. After she completed her task, the radio official told her
father that he will be notified if she has been selected for the
post.
The next day itself she was informed that they had selected
her.
So, the father took his 12 year old daughter to the radio
station to meet the director. Imagine the surprise of the
director when he was told that this was the girl that did
the news recording, which they had all liked. The director
was totally impressed by the young girl and appointed her
the very same day. Thus, at 12, Muna bint Mafoudh Al
Mantheri, became the youngest and first female news reader
on the radio.
It was quite an unusual turn of events. “But, it was more of a
comedy of errors,” Muna Al Mantheri laughs as she recounts
her first ever entry into the world of the radio. Muna Al
Mantheri has a hearty laugh; the kind of laughter, which
is often associated with people who have the ability to not
only find humour in a host of things, but also possessing the
ability to laugh at oneself. She was cheerful, confident and
clearly a very positive and strong woman.
“It was a friend of my father who told him that the new radio
station (this was in 1970) was looking for someone young to
do a children’s radio programme. So, that is how my father
took me to the radio. But, there was some confusion there at
that time as some news reader was absent and they wanted
to do a news take. Since I was there, the person in charge
told me to record some news, which I did. I had no clue
what it was all about, but I did it. Soon I was informed that
I had passed the audition and so my father took me there to
find out what was the next step. But, the director whom we
met almost fell off his chair when he realised that the small,
diminutive little 12 year old had done the news recording.
He did not even think twice, he just appointment me then
and there!”
Muna Al Mantheri did not have much of a clue of what
exactly was happening to her, but she went with the flow as
there did not seem to be any problem whatsoever. Even the
fact that she was the first ever and the youngest ever female
news reader then did not sink in. “I was taken with a salary
of OMR80, which was quite a good figure then!” Since then
Muna Al Mantheri has not looked back.
Welcome entry to radio station
When 12 year old Muna Al Mantheri started out at the
radio, there were only five to six other staff there. “All of
them were adults and all were men. But, I had no problems.
They treated me like a family member and taught me the
basics. They also did not forget to pamper me with chocolates
and Pepsi!
“I had an eight hour schedule -- my duty timings were from
3 to 11pm. But that was not an issue. I was not very fond of
music but there I was in a room and profession where music
was played throughout! There were days when I slept off
during the late hours. My father was a great help; he used
to come and pick and drop me to the radio station. Then,
slowly, as time passed by, I began to understand the role I
was playing and that was when I really began to love it very
much. Every day was a learning process too and the seniors
in the team were a great help as they taught me to read.
Although there weren’t any regular school for girls at that
time, after some months, I began to attend regular classes in
the morning hours.”
But, wasn’t she ‘mobbed’ or treated like a celebrity at school?
“Not at all! Mine was a behind-the -scenes job and no one at
school knew that it was I who read the news on the radio. It
was like a daily schedule for me.”
Her father, her inspiration
At that age, who was her inspiration? “My father! He was
always an inspiration for me. He was very confident that I
would make a difference in the field. He worked with the
PDO and he was my guidance as well as my best critic. His
reviews made me work a little extra and bring out the best
in me and the work I did. He made me understand that it
was a responsibility and that I should take it seriously. And I
did. He loved Oman very much and believed that a nation’s
progress hinged on its people and to help it progress was the
citizen’s responsibility!”
54
Woman of confidence
Muna Al Mantheri was also inspired by an Egyptian
television personality whom she met in 1974. “We were
sent to Egypt for a training programme in television. It was
here that I met Tamadur Tawfique, a strong woman in
the television world in Egypt. When I saw her easily and
confidently addressing a work group of 250 people hailing
from different countries I felt great joy! It is a great feeling
to know that and it is such women who trail blaze a path
for others. “She became my inspiration in the years that
followed.”
1970s
Were the people of the 70’s made of a different mettle?
“Well, there was a team spirit in the people then. We worked
with a passion and helped each other. Respect to each other
and towards the nation made us one. In His Majesty Sultan
Qaboos bin Said we saw the right example and we followed
suit.
We felt responsible for our actions and worked very hard. My
colleagues of the 70s are like my family and we are bonded
not just by profession, but by mutual understanding and
respect. Years have passed by and we are in different fields
now, but we will still be there for each other. If anyone of us
hit a rough patch, we will be there for that person!”
Early days were hard
Living conditions were quite bad then. “There was a dearth
of many modern facilities, but the people of that time
made up for it with strength of character and patience in
abundance. Probably the challenging conditions made us all
stronger and patient!
I personally believe success and progress is upon the people
themselves. We were guided by a strong leader with a wise
and selfless vision. And His Majesty was a role model that
we followed! So the country and its people had a direction,
which today is not seen in the youth. Forty two (42) years
after, the youth have many things on a platter, but where
did the appreciation go? We – the elders -- have to pass on
the lessons we learnt in our lives to our children; to other
youngsters. These lessons and experiences are bigger lessons
than any university curriculum and only we can pass it on.
Following the footsteps of our wise leader, each one of us has
to set the right example, so that the youth learn it right!”
Make a difference
Muna Al Mantheri believes that we don’t have to be
geniuses and prodigies to make a difference to the society
and community we live in. “Every one of us has sacrificed
something or the other. I am one of the fortunate ones who
got opportunities without even having to fight for one. But, I
did not realise it then as I was quite young. When I became
20, I knew I had a responsible career, where my voice could
make or break the listeners!
In a small way I have made a difference to the community
through my programmes. I have done family focussed
programmes, which encouraged girls to be educated. Not all
listeners agreed to my point of view then. My programme, ‘A
happy family’, focussed on girl children’s education. I knew I
was reaching out because a few years later a girl approached
me and introduced herself as Samira; she was a doctor.
“She was beaming with joy and pride and thanked me
profusely saying it was my programme on girls’ education
that convinced her father to send her to school and pursue a
higher education. I was also happy for her and felt I did my
bit. I strongly believe that even if you can change one life;
make a little difference to one living being in the society we
live in, we have done our humble bit,” Muna Al Mantheri
said.
Serving the society
Education can transform a woman’s life and make her an
individual strong enough to serve the society. Every career
has its advantages and disadvantages.
“A career in the media leaves you without any social life,
noted Muna Al Mantheri. “You miss out on the Eids, the
weddings, birthdays and even a calm relaxed day alone. “I
had zero social life, but radio and television changed my
attitude and helped me change the lives of the listeners in
a positive manner. In the last 42 years, I moved from the
ministry of information to the ministry of education for a
decade and then I moved back. I am now an advisor to the
Public Authority for Radio & Television.”
Acknowledged for her commitment
Muna Al Mantheri also won awards. “The notable among
them was the His Majesty award for long standing service,
which I got in 1985. When I received this award, I was quite
happy because I realised that this not just a big boost but a
perfect acknowledgment for my work; my commitment to
my nation!”

Late Abdul Rahim Jaffer Al Bahrani
Like father, like grandfather…
For most sons, their father is their biggest role model. For
Majid Abdul Rahim Jaffer Al Bahrani too, it was in no way
different. His father Abdul Rahim Jaffer Al Bahrani (former
owner of Abdul Aziz and Brothers LLC) was not just a role
model, but the man who paved a path of success for him.
Abdul Rahim Jaffer was an accomplished man and had
valuable lessons to teach his son. Thus Majid Abdul Rahim
Jaffer, chairman of Majid Group, who basked in the
knowledge, understanding and wisdom of his father, could
easily take the reigns of their family business for which he
was groomed right from an early age. Business is in the blood
of the Bahrani family and for the young Majid it was like a
duck taking to water.
A business family
“Business has been running in our family for generations,”
Majid explained to us from his plush office in Wattayah.
But, he notes how he couldn’t talk about his father without
talking about his grandfather. Both were businessmen and
both excelled in their fields. “My grandfather, Jaffer Abdul
Rahim Al Bahrani, was also a great businessman. He had
business dealings between India and Oman since 1927 and
also established the merchandise of rice, provisions and
clothes. My grandfather also travelled extensively between
the two countries.
He was part of the then Indo-Arab association and this
helped him to become very diplomatic in all his dealings,
business or otherwise.”
Like father, like son
As they say, like father, like son, and so Abdul Rahim Jaffer
followed in the footsteps of his great father and took up
the business path with aplomb. “Walking in his footsteps,
my father turned out to be one of the best businessmen of
his time. He had so many firsts to his credit: from business
agencies, dealerships; from the first supermarket to the
first Rolls Royce, Mercedes Benz etc...” Majid said his eyes
sparkling as he recalled his father’s firsts.
A well read man
Born in Pune, India in 1936, Abdul Rahim Jaffer had good
exposure to business at a very young age. Academically and
professionally accomplished, he was also a very wide read
man. “My father had one of the best libraries ever! He had
a great appetite for reading. He voraciously read books on
history, geography and business administration and as easily
as he digested, he also had an ability to understand the
depths and use it to his benefit,” Majid said.
Business in the 1970s
Abdul Rahim Jaffer was also bitten by the travel bug. “My
father travelled quite a lot and in the 1960s was in Bahrain
for real estate business and related construction works. From
there, he went to the UAE and came back to Oman in 1967
when His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said’s era began.
Upon coming back, he established the business concern
Abdul Aziz & Brothers with his brothers and uncles.
He also opened the first-ever supermarket called Muscat
Super market and got in to trading in the early 70s... the
supermarket concept was quite new in Oman, though there
were many small food stuff shops around.
In 1974, he brought in one of the first insurance companies
in town, the New India Assurance Company. He also
brought in LIC insurance with business partners. He was
well established in the construction related industry and was
an agent for tarmac too.”
A patriotic man
As the father went about accumulating new business,
the young and impressionable son, stood in the sidelines,
awed by his father’s power of acquisition and his ability
to do business. Slowly, the son also began to learn the
trade. “Business diversification is a must for a successful
business and my father taught me that the right utilisation
and investment at the right time brought good results and
progress.
“Oman was his home and coming back to Oman and
establishing business always remained his dream, which he
was successful in achieving. My father was a very patriotic
man and he believed under the wise leadership of His
Majesty, the Sultan, Oman would leap forward in all fields.
The 1970s was a catalytic period that accelerated the growth
process. His Majesty provided the right environment and
initiated the growth process of the nation.

Life is the best university
“My father believed in hard work and commitment and
taught us all that life is the only and the best university that
can teach us all about the lessons of work and life.
This was the knowledge he acquired from his books, from
his travels, from people and his own unique experiences. He
imparted the same knowledge and values in us. I found my
father to be a university by himself!”
Way of life
Abdul Rahim Jaffer loved people and treated his team as
his own family; mingled with them and trained them too.
“Business was a way of life in our family and my father
believed that business entrepreneurship will take Oman to
new heights of progressive development.
When you attempt something new, it is always hard and
there are no standards to follow, only paths to leave behind
for others to follow...” Majid noted.
The collector
Abdul Rahim Jaffer was a collector at heart and he pursued
his interest passionately. Other than his love for books, he
was an antique collector, and had a fascination for watches
and clocks. “My father bought unique pieces of clocks and
he had a fascination for all aspects of time. ‘A work done on
time, a deal closed on time, an act performed at the right
time always brought in right results’, he would constantly
say. He collected murals and artefacts too. He had the best
collection of cars too. And, the beauty of it was that in
spite of his busy business life and time schedules, he was a
responsible family man too. He was a lover of nature – he
loved plants, trees and farmhouses and had one of earliest
farmhouses in Oman. He had a great love for animals too.”
Role model
In his successful business stride, Abdul Rahim Jaffer always
had one role model -- his father, Jaffer Abdul Rahim
Bahrani. “My grandfather was a role model for my father,
and for me, my father, who initiated me in the business
world. And I hope my son, Faisal, will take after me into
business, taking the long line of business legacy forward,”
Majid said.
“I learnt business from my father, joined his offices as a staff,
not in the management team, mind you.
He taught me that a thorough understanding and basic
knowledge of your business will make you a better
businessman. I joined as accounts assistant and then
my father send me to Manchester for further studies in
marketing and business administration. I grew from the staff
status to the vice chairman of the company in 2008 and since
then I have been in the forefront of the company business.”
Majid does not remember his father as his business guru
and mentor only, but also very simply like any son would
remember his father. “He was a treasure trove of information
and he had a heart of gold; he was a very tolerant and loving
man. I was always overawed by his ability to have a solution
for every challenging situation and I considered him an
encyclopaedia of information and more importantly, a great
father!”

My father, Khalifa Al Amri, taught us to be responsible in all aspects and by being a live example he made it easy for all of us to emulate. He was very passionate about Oman; he said that his nation was his identity. He felt very accountable and believed that by giving back to the country you live in is every individual’s personal responsibility

Khalifa bin Khalfan Al Amri
A responsible man
Khalifa bin Khalfan Al Amri was the epitome of
responsibility. A responsible man. That is how his daughter,
Khawla bint Khalifa Al Amri, who works as senior manager
(HR) of Oman Drydock Company SAOC, remembers him.
Khalifa Khalfan Amri ‘s responsibility stemmed probably
from his post as a (former) head of security and public
affairs at the ministry of defence (MoD), but his daughter
remembers him as a man of responsibility whether at work
or at home. Somehow this was not just a work ethic, but
something ingrained in him so deeply that it became his
byword.
Khawla Al Amri fondly recalls her father and his multifarious
activities, and most importantly his undying passion for the
country.
The 1970s
“My father was the eldest of his family and had to take that
responsibility at a very young age. To take care of the family,
he took up various professions including that of a mechanic,
a male nurse and also began a small time business of retail
items too. He was then just a teenager. Probably that sense
of responsibility was one the major traits of my father. He
was the epitome of responsibility; he took care of every one,
worked hard and established himself very early in life. He
started his career in Kuwait and Qatar and in the late 60s
he came back to Oman with his family. He took up a job as
customs clearance in charge at the port that time.
A turning point
“1970 was a phenomenal turning point in the history of
Oman when His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said took
over; my father got in to a government job. Earlier he was
employed in the telegraph/telegram department at the MoD.
During that period His Highness Sayyid Fahr bin Taimur Al
Said was heading the MoD. I remember my father’s words...
His Majesty the Sultan is a visionary who saw the future of
Oman and had very distinct plans charted out. His Majesty
highlighted the importance of human resources and paved
the path to progress with education, training and developing
human skills. My father was sent to the UK to study and he
got trained there. The international exposure made him a
better equipped person and he came back fully trained to take
up the post in the security and public affairs at the MoD. He
grew slowly and steadily and over the years he rose to head
the department, directly reporting to Sayyid Fahr, who was
the then deputy prime minister. After 36 years of service in
the MoD, he retired in 1997. He was a good businessman
too, invested in stocks and shares, and established business
successfully.
Oman, his passion
“My father taught us to be responsible in all aspects and by
being a live example he made it easy for all of us in the family
to emulate. He was very passionate about Oman; he said
that his nation was his identity. He felt very accountable and
believed that by giving back to the country you live in is every
individual’s personal responsibility. Why wait for others,
when you can do it yourself, he would say. He embedded
in our thoughts that it is only right to satisfy the needs of
people around us first, before you go serving others. He
believed every single person should serve the society and the
nation...
Giving back to the society was very important to him and
was a live example for all of us. For him life was all about
balancing family responsibility with social responsibility.

Khalfan Al Amri

65
He took up as his responsibility to give back to Suwaiq, his
home town and believed that problem solving becomes easy
when we start solving problems internally first. For him, it
is not just charity, even responsibility started at home. He
taught us the basic lesson that if you are responsible at home,
you can be responsible to the society.
Fair in all sense
“My father was a chivalrous and fair man, who believed in
equality of all sorts, be it at home or in business. Growing
up with him was a unique experience, as they say, they don’t
make his sort of men anymore... I can still hear his voice say,
open the door for mama...
Education maketh a man
Discipline was a way of life for him. He believed that only
disciplined and organised people can make a difference
to the society. He imbibed all the qualities in his children
and ensured that we gave equal importance if not more
for education. Education and training maketh a man, he
reiterated to us, pushing us to study and excel in our fields.
He treated his daughters and son equally, telling us girls
that education is the strongest weapon any woman can have.
It enlightens her, makes her a confident person, and helps
her create a better family and a better society. No matter
how settled and successful he was, he always felt there was
something to do, responsibilities to fulfil.
He loved to travel, was widely read, love photography and
even wrote poems. He played Oud and loved to sing too.
Basically a humble down to earth man, my father shied
away from the limelight. He still remains my role model,
from whom I got inspired to study, understood the value of
education and equality and my career today is a tribute to
his principles. When he passed away in 2000, I was in my
final year of graduation and it is his teaching that made me
complete my graduation and pursue my post graduation!”

Mabrook Sangour bin Shaneen Al Busaidy
Lessons from the sea
The sea, like the desert, is a harsh teacher. But once taught
the lessons are ingrained for life. For Mabrook Sangour bin
Shaneen Al Busaidy, an 80-year old sailor, pearl diver and
fisherman, the sea was and is a tough teacher but the one and
only one. All of his life’s lessons were learnt from the sea.
Mabrook, unlike many of us, has literally gone into the eye of
the storm, and lived to tell the tale.
Today, when he relates the tales of his sea adventures, it
seems more surreal than real. Like the time when their small
Omani commercial vessel, Fattah Al Rahman, was literally
“all at sea”. Mabrook and some 20-odd sailors were on board
the Fattah Rahman sailing from Oman to India (Bombay)
when they were caught in a violent sea storm. This happened
some 55 years ago when Mabrook was around 25.
“Our frail vessel was hit by violent winds, heavy rains and
giant waves; we were tossed around like a small paper boat.
We could do nothing but tightly hold on to our vessel and
say our prayers,” Mabrook said, recounting their terrifying
near-death sea experience.
12 days – 12 months?
The storm continued unabated for some hours and finally
when they thought they were already dead, it suddenly
subsided as suddenly as it had come. At that time, those
on board did not know even whether to laugh or cry; they
pinched themselves to see if the suddenly changed scenario
was indeed true. In fact, despite being hit by such a violent
storm, the vessel managed to reach Mumbai (then Bombay)
in around 12 days. “Luckily, we reached the shores of
Bombay in one piece. Although we were stuck in the storm
for only a few hours, it felt like several months and the 12
days it took to reach Mumbai felt like 12 long months. But,
we realised that we were blessed beyond doubt – for who will
survive such a storm and live to tell the tale?” Mabrook asks.
A man of the sea
Mabrook lives in Mateirah in Muttrah, close to the
foothills of Fort Mirani, which fronted the Muscat bay in
the Corniche area. Unusually, none of his family members
were into sailing, fishing or anything remotely connected to
Mabrook’s lifelong profession. Even his brothers did not get
into sailing or fishing. “Somehow, right from a very young
age, I was drawn to the sea and I have never drifted away
from it,” Mabrook tells us, charting his growth from his early
swimming days to fishing, then sailing, pearl diving and the
like. Somehow, everything he did was connected to the sea,
and despite the challenges the seas posed and also the fact
that the rewards were not always forthcoming, he did not
abandon the only livelihood that came by. The sea always
threw up adventures after the other.
The long, long swim
On another occasion, in 1950, Mabrook was forced to make
the longest swim of his life. He was alone, fishing in the mid
sea when an unusually violent storm broke out and devour
his boat.
“In a short span of 30 minutes, the waves around me grew
in giant sizes and struck my tiny boat. Little did I expect the
boat to capsize and throw me out in to the rough seas! I tried
to hold on to my boat, but it sunk, leaving me with nothing
to hold on to… I swam for my life, back to the shore, a good
three to four hours of swimming... it was one of the longest
swim I ever had. By the time I reached the shore, I was half
dead and had to literally drag myself up the beach.” Although
he survived the ordeal, he unfortunately lost his boat and was
thus forced to earn a living doing other odd jobs.
“The sea was the only source of income for many of us
in those days. Education remained a dream and we were
focussed on earning a living at any cost. Growing up in the
coastal area made me a natural swimmer and the sea my
second home.”
Sea was part and parcel
As a child Mabrook grew up playing near the beaches,
and so the sea was naturally a part and parcel of his life.
“Probably that taught me swimming, my only life skill, and
soon I chose a sailing career. I knew nothing else. I began
my life as a fisherman, sailing, taking people around in a
small boat, then ran a ferry service, and finally got in to the
government sector as a sailor.” Mabrook started off with a
basic salary of Indian Rupees 30 (Oman had Indian currency
then). Sailing and fishing brought in the some money, but
it was not enough. Thus, he ventured in to oyster fishing,
diving for pearls. Oman was very famous for its pearls then.
“Sometimes, when we were lucky, we made triple the usual
money, if we found pearls,” Mubarak said, delving into
another exciting phase of his sea life. After his diving and
sailing days, he retired from his sailing job in 1986 and then
took up a civilian job in the military.
68
Pearl diving
Pearls were in good demand in those days and the money kept the divers
motivated. “Most of the times the pearls turned out to be rare and small, but
we always found buyers. Oman was famous for pearls and we had good Asian
and European visitors who bought them as well as some regular buyers. The
local market was not thriving and healthy, but we, the young fishermen,
made our extra money by selling pearls.
On one occasion, in the late 60’s, Mabrook had an exciting lucky experience:
“I dove as usual and found oysters, but this time one of them had a cluster
of small pearls – not one or two, but 30 -- embedded inside! It was an
unbelievable find for me!”
Many valuable lessons
If the pearl industry in Oman had thrived, all of those who were in that
profession would be in a better position today, he feels. But the sea taught
him not to have any regrets. “It taught me not just that – but everything! So
many valuable lessons!
“Simple tricks, employing the trial and error process etc., taught me how to
live. When I used to get queasy or sea sick on sea, I would drink a mouth
of sea water. It may taste bad, but, it made me alright! Just a mouth or two,
more will make you sicker! Everything should be taken in moderation!
“When you are alone and have to fend for yourself, what do you learn?
Courage! Yes, a life of sailing and fishing has taught me to be brave and
more importantly to have patience. It taught me to face life head on and
to swim out of darkness. I have had a happy life, though there are times
when I wish I could have done better, sailed to other countries too!” But,
he immediately noted how tough and challenging life was then. “I was the
sole bread earner for my family and I had to bring home the bacon! The sea
taught me great patience and it also taught me how to deal with life and even
sudden surprises – even nasty ones -- and rise up to any challenges.
“Today, thank God, I am still alive to tell you all these tales. I am the
sole surviving member of that fishing and pearl diving clan of that time in
Muttrah.
All of my friends have passed away … now whenever I get a chance, I
will pass on the seafaring and pearling tales of my time, detailing to the
youngsters of today the stories of fear as well as triumph, also teaching them
a few fishing tricks that I have learnt during my time. “I never had a camera
or nor even thought of recording any of the events of my humble past, but, I
have still managed to sketch some of the vessels that I had sailed on for my
children and my grandchildren to see!”

The Razha did not have the same glory as before, but it was a trend that still existed, the duo noted. It is quite a sight to see the Razha dance: dancers making their elaborate moves, with their silver swords glittering as they fly in the sky; others dancing with small Tafaqs (rifles) and chanting rhythmic verses.

Ahmed Suleiman Al Hassani and Salim Abdullah Al Mashari
When swords dance
Two middle aged Omanis were rocking themselves to and
fro, a sword (Sayf) in one hand and a shield (Tarrs) in the
other. Then both of them leapt into the air, hit the ground
and went back to their sword dance. Then at a particular
point of time, they swished their sayfs around and then flung
them high in the air catching them just as reached the same
height as their heads.
These two men were showing us their sword skills and most
importantly, displaying the Razha – a special Omani dance
performance, which is characterised by the sword and poetry
exchange. It is a dance form, which is performed in many
parts of the Sultanate.
Vibrant art form
It is a vibrant dance form, part o the rich Omani tradition.
Yet, these two enthusiastic Razha exponents – Ahmed
Suleiman Al Hassani and Salim Abdullah Al Mashari –
believe that future generations would still practice this dance
form. “It is not going to die that easily,” Ahmed Al Hassani
said, noting how Oman’s benevolent leader, His Majesty
Sultan Qaboos bin Said, fully supported and promoted the
traditional, cultural art and dance forms of the Sultanate. “It
is truly a blessing that we have such a great leader to lead us,”
they said, noting how His Majesty the Sultan extended his
royal attention to all areas of the country’s spheres, especially
such traditional art and dance forms.
“This royal attention has helped people like us still practice
this dance form,” Ahmed and Salim, both of them from
Qantab, said.
Rhythm and power
Ahmed used to work as a sailor in the royal yacht of Oman
until he retired in 1997. He fell for Razha at the first sight
itself. “I have been seeing Razha right from the time I was
born and when I was 20, I began to actually dance,” he said.
In the earlier days, palm tree strands used to be the right
substitute for swords and both Ahmed and Salim remember
having great fun with that. But soon, both of them began to
pursue it seriously and the fun was replaced with a certain
reverence. “We did not have anyone to actually teach us, but
the environment then was such that all whom we knew were
dancing this form. Soon, we realised that it had a certain
rhythm; a certain strength and dignified power!”
Swords glittering in the sky
The Razha did not have the same glory as before, but it was
a trend that still existed, the duo noted. It is quite a sight to
see the Razha dance: dancers making their elaborate moves,
with their silver swords glittering as they fly in the sky; others
dancing with small Tafaqs (rifles) and chanting rhythmic
verses.
The men would be wearing dishdashas with khanjars
strapped to their waists and indulge in sword play. The sword
has always played a major role in Omani life and Omanis
are famed throughout history for their love of the sword and
their skillful swordsmanship.
Dancing with swords used to be a form of warm up before a
fight and a kind of martial exercise.
Sound of the drums
The Razha starts with the sound of the drums, calling on the
men to gather, a poet from every tribe recites some verses or
Qasidas, explaining the event for which they have assembled.
The men of the Razha also come together for amusement
and to display their skill in swordsmanship and combat with
swords and shields. The poets of the tribes vie with one
another with their skill in love poetry, eulogies, satire, riddles
and conundrums.
72
Dance of swords
The name Razha indicates the dance of swords, with the
man collapsing beneath the weight of the sword; he has to
carry this weight during his high jumps in the air and land
firmly on his feet, without falling. The tradition still exists
of throwing the sword in the air and catching it again as it
comes down. This catching is a kind of boasting among the
men of the Razha. The weight of the sword or the sharpness
of the weapon is important.
Forms of Razha
The forms of the Razha differ in the movements of the
participants, the type and speed of the rhythm governing
these movements, the poetic meter which form the singing
of its verses, and the subject which the poet extemporises
on. When two tribes meet in the Razha, each of them is
accompanied by its special drums. These drums are often
passed down from generation to generation.
Kasir and Rahmani
The Razha has two drums -- the Kasir and the Rahmani.
Each of them is beaten with a raised stick from both sides.
When the row has recited a verse poetically and melodiously,
the drum of that row begins with its beat. The two drummers
move between the two close parallel rows until the song
ends. When the drums of this side fall silent, the drums of
the other side start with a new verse. Often this is a reply to
the first verse. Then there follow poetic verses and singing,
exchanging between the rows until the Razha achieves the
aims for which it was convened (source: www.omanet.om)
The greatest aspect of Razha is the part when the sword is
thrown into the air and then caught as it comes down, says
Ahmed Ali Al Riyami, an Omani writer and a lover and
promoter of Razha.
“Razha was used as a way to express the needs of the people
in the tribe and also to announce war, victory; to muster
troops and also to mediate between two warring factions – so
the dance embraces both virtues, peaceful as well as warring,”
Ahmed Riyami noted.
Omanis in East Africa, especially Zanzibar, used Razha
during celebrations and festivities like Eid Al Fitr, Eid Al
Adha and weddings.

Sheikh Khamis Ali Al HasharStand on your own feet
There was a simple lesson that Sheikh Khamis Ali Al
Hashar, former Omani businessman and entrepreneur, learnt
from a very young age – to be always self reliant and to stand
on one’s own feet. It was a lesson that he further imparted to
others, especially his children.
Sheikh Khamis Hashar may have been a little over 10 when
he learnt this little lesson from a prominent resident of Sur,
who had then fallen on bad times and was residing in East
Africa.
Sheikh Khamis, who was sent to East Africa as a young boy,
happened to meet this Omani man of repute who hailed
from the same hometown as him -- Sur.
Many years back, Sheikh Khamis told this story to his son,
Faisal Al Hashar, chairman and managing partner, Oman
Enterprises Co. International LLC, and the latter was
relating the same to us.
“He was talking about his early days as a young boy in East
Africa and he spoke of how he bumped into a distinguished
man from Sur. The latter used to be quite well off and one of
Sur’s very distinguished figures. But, unfortunately, due to
some misfortune, he lost all his money in East Africa.
“It was a shock for him, but he was a strong man and he did
not yield to cruel fate that easily. Slowly, he began to rebuild
his life from scratch.
“But, you must understand that at that time, he was as old as
my grandfather – and had children of my dad’s age then.
“Despite all the odds, this man slowly worked his way up and
soon he was able to send his children to school and start off
in a field that was quite new to him – carpentry. He began to
make wooden boxes and sell them in the market. It was quite
hard work, which took more than 14 to 15 hours a day. But,
despite the hardships, he succeeded in supporting himself
and his family,” Faisal Al Hashar said, relating the story.
A valuable lesson
“But the real lesson my father had got after meeting this Sur-
based man was learn to be totally self dependent. As my dad
told me, the man from Sur could have requested help from
anyone from his hometown. Many would have been happy
to lend him money for he was quite a reputable and trusted
man. But, he did not take the easy path and instead started
from scratch. When my father understood this, he realised
what a great lesson that he had learnt, and one he adopted
for life.”
Faisal made this anecdote about his father to highlight
the real lessons that the latter had learnt. “The real and
valuable lesson that my father had learnt from this incident
that touched his heart was the importance of being self
dependent. That man from Sur could have easily obtained
help from someone, but no, he did not do that – he went and
started from scratch. That was the biggest lesson that an 11
year old (Sheikh Khamis) could learn!”
Shipping tradition of Sur
Faisal Al Hashar also spoke about Sur in the days of his
father. “At that time in Sur, the rule was that children (boys
especially) aged 8 or 10 went on board boats to learn. Real
education was imparted to children on board the ships.
“There they used to learn Arabic, mathematics, and also
aspects of marine science and the basics of trading.
“But, the rule got changed when one of Sur’s citizens,
Abdullah Al Ghazali, established the first ever school in
Sur. Thanks to this, my father had the chance to study in
Faisal Al Hashar, son of Sheikh Khamis Ali Al Hashar

Al Ghazali’s school for three years. Yes, it was a limited
amount of education, but, then my father, like all Sur’s
youngsters, began his adventure with ships. He went along
with his father to East Africa on a ship. He was only 11.
My grandfather had a relative who was a school principle in
Kenya. So, for the next nine years, he was educated there and
after that he obtained a Cambridge higher certificate.”
Trading secrets
Immediately after his education, Sheikh Khamis started
working. At the same time he made sure he learnt from every
opportunity he got to learn. In that sense, he was largely a
self taught man. He started working in Kuwait. “Later, after
working in Kuwait from 1960 to 1965, he left and began
trading, largely depending on himself. Then, he moved to the
United Arab Emirates and began real trading.
“During the initial stages, he followed the examples of other
merchants more experienced than him. Of course, he made
mistakes and the first one was to buy merchandise before
studying the market and learning of its needs and capacity.
At that early stage, he did not know successful merchants
studied the market first, understood its needs before
embarking on a purchase. Soon, he understood that trading
was selling and buying and not buying and then selling. The
clever businessman was the one who sold before he bought!”
First to market aluminum
But, such mistakes and initial setbacks did not deter the
determined Sheikh Khamis. “Immediately after that, my
father joined an aluminum company, which produced
aluminum doors, windows and household utensils. My
father became a representative of that company. And soon he
suggested to the company to appoint him as an agent without
salary and on a commission basis. They agreed to that and
offered him 25 percent commission, provided that he would
bear all the cost of transportation and other expenses from
the production site. Thus my father was the first who began
to market rollers and aluminum to replace iron doors.”
Business with aluminum
When the company management was convinced with his
ability to open new markets for its products, they appointed
him as manager of their Abu Dhabi branch. “At that time,
Abu Dhabi was at the beginning of its economic and
commercial boom. So, things went that way until the dawn
of the blessed Renaissance in 1970 and then it was time to
return to the Sultanate. In Oman, he also began his business
with aluminum,” Faisal Al Hashar said.
Sur’s traditions
In Sur, all people, without exceptions, and by instinct,
practice trading. Since Sur was a seaport and always linked to
other seaports in India and East Africa, all of the youngsters
had to opt for a career as a merchant or sailor.
“Those who were keen to learn trading began when they
were seven or eight years old. They had to leave the country
and begin their trading life on board a ship. At the start,
they would only be doing basic trading wherein they bought
goods from one place to sell them at another. Of course, the
volumes changed later, but they always stuck to the rules!”
Faisal Al Hashar said, relating to aspects of Sur.
Sense of social responsibility
While Sheikh Khamis was an instinctive businessman, he
was also a man who believed in charity and also ready to
work for the common good. In fact, he was infused with
a clear sense of social responsibility. “My father believed
that social work was not in any way lesser than engaging
in business for profit. Every citizen had a duty towards his
country as well as his fellow being. And he said that everyone
should give according to their ability. A person in position
should give according to his capacity.
“The country gives everything to its people and thus it is part
of their duty to give something back. The prosperity, progress
and development of a country depended on the endeavour of
its citizens, he used to say,” Faisal Al Hashar said.
Children are an everlasting fortune
Sheikh Khamis treasured his children. “He doted on us and
considered us as his real and everlasting fortune. He used
to say that raising children – be it rich or poor -- was the
biggest responsibility ever for the parents.
Noting that it was impossible to compare wealth with lives,
he stressed that money came and went and one could amass a
fortune and lose it in the next instant, but, when you nurture
a person and help him grow, it was like giving wings to him
– giving him the courage to fly!
“Although my father constantly gave us advice and told us
how to conduct our lives with dignity and propriety, he also
made sure that we did not become a copy of him!”
A stickler of discipline
Sheikh Khamis was a stickler for discipline. “He was a man
of principles who upheld human values and he had great
integrity. We learnt from him some of the most significant
lessons in life and all values. He was my hero and inspiration.
He was a man of discipline and made a great impact in
our lives. He was also a very tolerant man. He was strict,
as well as tolerant, a rare quality. He gave us the freedom
to choose and advised us to never follow anyone blindly or
live under anyone’s shadow. Be bold and make your own
choices; but, remember, with the freedom of choice comes
responsibility, he would say. After making your choice, learn
to be responsible!”
Love for literature
Sheikh Khamis was very interested in literature and the
arts, with a special interest for folklore. He played a very
prominent role in promoting folk art. “In fact, Sur used to be
known as the cradle of folk arts. As a seaport, Sur has always
been a melting pot for a variety of cultures from Africa and
India. The interaction between the folk art from Africa and
India on one hand and the Omani/Arabic folk art on the
other brought about the rich folk art of Sur.”
Sheikh Khamis was also greatly interested in history and
always kept himself abreast of the happenings around the
world, especially through newspapers. He used to read most
of the local publications (Oman, Al Watan, Observer, Times
of Oman…) and Gulf publications (Al Itihad, Al Khaleej, Al
Bayan etc…).
“He used to love reading and was devoted to old customs and
traditions. He believed in culture and tradition as the link to
humanity in general, no matter which part of the world you
came from – it brings the world closer, he would always tell
us,” Faisal Al Hashar said.
(Sheikh Khamis died on June 16, 2006.)
In Sur, all people, without exceptions, and by instinct, practice trading. Since Sur was a seaport and always linked to other seaports in India and East Africa, all of

Oman in the 70s was going through progressive planning and changes and the Central Bank of Oman was being set up at that time. I had by then completed my graduation and returned to Oman with a view to getting some gainful employment. Though the days were challenging, the opportunities were abundant. Like any other youth, I walked in to the personnel department of the CBO and applied for a job in the research department. And, I got it

Fawziya bint Hamoud Al KindySteered by destiny
Destiny or fate sometimes has a way of leading you by the
hand and taking you to your destination even if you are
off the track. A ready example of this can be had from this
little anecdote by Fawziya bint Hamoud Al Kindy, a former
Omani lady banker and well known radio personality. Her
father, Hamoud Al Kindy, who had returned to Oman just
some years after His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said took
over the reigns of Oman, was walking in the Nizwa souq
when he accidentally bumped into a Scottish man.
Both of them dislodged themselves and were politely passing
their mutual apologies when suddenly Hamoud Al Kindy
stopped in his tracks. He stared at the Scottish man who
was apologising to him. For a moment they both stared
and in the next instant recognition dawned on the face of
Hamoud Al Kindy. It was his old colleague from Cable &
Wireless Worldwide Company – a British multinational
telecommunications company office -- in East Africa where
they had worked together. In fact, Hamoud Al Kindy had
just returned to Oman in 1972 after resigning from Cable &
Wireless in East Africa and it was a shock for him to meet
his old colleague. “I remember my father saying he couldn’t
take his eyes off the Scottish man for sometime,” says
Fawziya Al Kindy.
Oman in 1972
“My family came to Oman in 1972 after His Majesty the
Sultan took over. My father had resigned from his 35 year
old job at Cable & Wireless in East Africa and brought us all
back to Oman. Our family basically hailed from the Nizwa
region. But, in those days, it was difficult in the interiors,
especially with respect to education. Therefore, my father
decided to settle down in Muscat, in an area known as
Miyabeen.”
The Scottish hand
Fawziya’s father would often tell the children about how
life and destiny were so entwined and how the latter had
the power to control our fate. Upon returning to Oman,
Hamoud Al Kindy was not sure of what job to take and that
is when he bumped into his fate, which came in the guise of
a Scottish man.
“When his old colleague recognised my father, he insisted
upon taking him to his office, which by sheer coincidence
happened to be the Oman office of Cable & Wireless. My
father joined the company the very next day and worked
with them for the next 15 years,” said Fawziya as she slowly
rewound her thoughts about her past.
Destiny’s garb
“I was doing my graduation in London in those days,” she
recalls. But, since her family was here, Fawziya came down
from London for her dissertation.
“This (dissertation) was supervised by John Townsend, who
was then the economic adviser to His Majesty the Sultan.
Townsend’s encouragement helped me in the direction of my
future. He said I was fit for a career in banking and thus, I
followed suit.” In Fawziya’s case, it was Townsend who wore
destiny’s garb.
Lady banker
There was no ministry of finance or economy in those days.
As Fawziya explains, there was a Currency Authority, which
later became the Currency Board and then the Directorate of
Finance.
“Oman in the 70s was going through progressive planning
and changes and the Central Bank of Oman was being set

up at that time. I had by then completed my graduation
and returned to Oman with a view to getting some gainful
employment. Though the days were challenging, the
opportunities were abundant. Like any other youth, I walked
in to the personnel department of the CBO and applied for a
job in the research department. And, yes, I got it!”
Fawziya joined the CBO in 1976 as an assistant manager
in the research and statistics department and served the
institution for just over 19 years. However, she took
voluntary retirement based on personal and health reasons.
“By the time I left the CBO, I was already the director of the
department!”
Learning on the job
Jobs were not in plenty, but it was there. As the number
of people looking for a job was miniscule when compared
to today, the dynamics and the challenges posed were also
different. “But, getting a job and then holding it for life was
a great responsibility for us then. But we had no channels of
learning something new. So, it was a general process of self
learning. “When you are thrown into a swimming pool, you
have no option but to swim and we learn it fast! We did that.
Although we did not know the finer nuances of our jobs, we
were still very responsible and the people of that time were
tougher and stronger. Challenges were there, but we always
proved to be able to rise above them!”
Made to feel at home
Women were there in the field, but men dominated the
scene. Yet, there was acceptance and as Fawziya notes, she
was always made to feel like home and there wasn’t any
discrimination. “As a lady in the banking sector, I walked
the extra mile to prove myself and to establish successfully
in a male dominated industry. The initial travel and training
at various international banks made me realise that globally
banking is handled by experienced bankers and specialists,
while we, the youth, took the positions in Oman, making us
the people to set the path. It is similar to putting a train on
its tracks. The initial challenges in setting up are probably
similar in all fields.”
Young banker
Fawziya recalled how whenever she went abroad, especially
to top financial meetings or conferences etc., her youth
surprised the others. Normally, representatives of central
banks across the world were rather middle aged, or old and
with many years of experience.
Fawziya had none of these, but her confidence; her outgoing
personality and the faith the country placed in her helped her
through all those moments. In fact there was never a time
that she felt ill at ease or out of place in major international
financial meetings. On the contrary, wherever she went, the
usual Omani charm and easy simplicity bowled over even
tough financial personnel. All of these travels and meetings
were huge learning experiences and slowly she grew.

Rich with experiences
“The job portfolio kept me busy; gave me opportunities to
meet and learn from seniors at the global level; I attended
numerous meetings, seminars and workshops of the
International Monetary Fund, the Arab Monetary Fund and
other countries; I learnt a lot from each experience,” Fawziya
recalled.
Achieving in a man’s world
The first CBO office was in Muscat, which was later moved
to the Ruwi area. It used to be a lone building in Ruwi at
that time. Few banks had female staff behind the counter and
during those days or perhaps, even today, a banking career
was always considered a man’s forte!
“Being in Oman in the 70s and being part of the renaissance
gave me the opportunity to excel in a field other women did
not otherwise step in to at that time! But my experience was
quite a positive one. I vividly remember the good old days
where we all worked as a team facing the challenges posed
then and mounting the obstacles. It was quite enjoyable!
Working hard was an enjoyment!
Also, the banking policies of Oman were very practical and
sensible; rules were followed by the book, all of which made
Oman a stable country; the roots of this stability was sowed
then and that is why we have such a strong basic foundation
in the financial segment in Oman!”
1970s
“The year 1970 rewrote the destiny of Oman under the wise
leadership of our leader.
I have seen the 70s and when I compare to it today, I
must say that I have no words to define the progress and
development that is around. We had no means for education
before; I went to Egypt for my basic education. Today Oman
has thousands of schools, all over the country, allowing
children from remote villages even to study and progress.
It takes up a lifetime to build a nation, but in four decades
Oman saw it all. The basic facilities, the structures, policies,
processes all were laid with a vision that was fruitful enough
to give returns in just a short span of years,” Fawziya said.
Destiny’s child
Fate then played a game, which ultimately made her leave
her banking career. But like in her father’s case, destiny
hovered in the background and soon when the time was ripe,
played its cards again, gently prodding Fawziya into a new
direction – the world of airwaves! “I used to speak quite a
lot and perhaps this love for talking could have given me an
impetus to take up the radio challenge,” she says laughing.
Banking to the world of media
“Owing to health reasons, I took a break from my banking
career. But, once I recovered, I felt restless and soon destiny
took me to a brand new industry. From the world of finance
to the world of words, speech and talk!
“Destiny steered my course of life to the media industry.
Soon, in early 2000, I joined the ministry of information and
there I got into the Oman Radio as a newsreader. Public
speaking and addressing people and forums were part of my
banking career too and now I am behind the scene, reading
news, and doing programmes based on business, stocks and
other programmes during the Holy Month of Ramadan.
My banking background was quite a boon as I put the
experience of being in the financial world for two decades to
good use as I began to do reports on the stock market and
provide financial analysis!”

Dr Donald Taeke BoschOman’s medicine man
Friend to all. A lifetime spent in service to others and
to Oman. The first American to be awarded the Order
of Oman. An author of books on Oman. A legend of a
doctor…
If you mention any of the above tag lines, these may
automatically lead to a singular name of an extraordinary
man: Dr Donald Taeke Bosch. A man whose life was a
celebration of the human spirit!
Dr Bosch, who died in February this year (2012), was
something of a legend in Oman. A specialist surgeon, he
worked in Oman for most of his medical career. He was a
pioneering figure in the healthcare scene in Oman. It is said
that in the early days of the Sultanate, Dr Bosch, who was
then the only surgeon in the entire country, used to see as
many as 200 patients a day!
Dr Bosch came to Oman, along with his wife Eloise and
children in 1955. He worked for many years as a surgeon in
the American Mission Hospital (later known as Al Rahma
Hospital) in Muttrah. Eloise worked as a teacher at the
American Mission School in Muscat.
Efficient Surgeon
As a surgeon, Dr Bosch was able to provide relief and ease
pain, especially during the time when there were little or no
medical services in Oman. He was awarded the Order of
Oman for his service to the country by His Majesty Sultan
Qaboos bin Said in 1972.
The ‘mansion’ in Haramel
When he came to Oman, he worked with the well known
Dr Wells Thoms and when the latter retired in 1970, Dr
Bosch became the chief medical officer of the mission
hospital. After this he took charge as the medical officer of
Khoula Hospital and upon retiring from here in 1983, he
and his wife were granted the Omani nationality. Also, in
recognition of the many years of service to the nation and its
people, the Bosches were given a lovely home in Haramel
(between Sidab and the British ambassador’s residence).
Dr Bosch also served as an advisor to the health minister of
Oman after his retirement.
Childhood passion
Dr Bosch (Donald) was born in Amoy, China on December
9, 1917. The second of five children, he lived there until
he was 12. His father (Dr Taeke Bosch) was a doctor,
while his mother (Margaret Brown Bosch) was a teacher.
As a small child itself, Donald wanted to become a doctor
like his father. At a very early age he and his siblings were
instilled with the ideal of spending their lives in service to
others. He relocated to the United States when he was 12;
moved quickly through secondary school and attended the
State University of Iowa, where he was awarded an MD
degree in 1941 at age 23.
Don (as he was fondly known) got married to Eloise
Boynton on April 11, 1942. His medical internship and
surgical specialisation was interrupted by the Second World
War. In 1942 Don joined the US army Medical Corps,
where he was assigned to the 78th Infantry Division. In 1946
he returned to the US and left the Army to continue his
specialisation in surgery.
In 1950 he was honoured by being named the “Outstanding
Young Man of the Year” by the Newark, N J Jaycees. On
completing his six years of medical specialisation in surgery,
Don accepted an assignment as a surgeon in the Arabian
Gulf under the World Missions programme of the Reformed
Church and arrived in Amarah, Iraq in September 1951
with Eloise and their three small children, David, Paul and
Bonnie. And from Iraq, he and his family moved to Oman
in 1955.

Seashells collector
Don became a collector of seashells as a result of the family’s weekend visits to
the local Omani beaches, where he found the seashells on the shore. He wrote
to the Museum of Natural History in New York City, asking them if they would
be interested in specimens collected from Oman. The museum responded with
enthusiasm, advising that they would be happy to identify any specimens that he
sent, as their scientists had very little knowledge of the seashells of Oman.
Exploring writing skills
Dr Bosch also explored his skills in the writing field and in 1982, he and his wife
co-authored their first book on Oman’s seashells, Seashells of Oman. Two other
books, Seashells of Southern Arabia (9189) and Seashells of Eastern Arabia (1995),
followed. The good doctor, his wife, children and grand children were involved
in discovering 20 species of seashells in Oman, which were new to science. Some
of them were named after the family members. In fact, one of the most beautiful
and well known species was named after Eloise (punctada
eloisae).
Barter for money
Dr Bosch and Eloise’s story in Oman and their contribution
to this country is best chronicled in their own published
account between 1955 and 1970 titled, ‘The Doctor and the
Teacher’. The book describes how the patients who came to
the mission hospital would pay the doctor with goats, eggs,
dates, chickens, gazelles. Thanks to Dr Bosch such quaint
aspects of a forgotten time in Oman has been recorded for
posterity.
