I return to the vibrant Dragon city for the first time since the last time I lived there 18 years ago. While the city--some images of which were formulated by martial art movies I had grown up with--did not disappoint in the mid-nineties, I am curious to see what it is like now.

The plight of a number of Nepalese migrant workers in Qatar suffering from grave injustice for over a year and with very little chance of seeing justice being served!

The final hour in Doha, Qatar on May 13, 2013, I was at Doha Airport, headed to my flight taking me home. So that I didn't feel all alone, which I was, I texted my friends in Doha, providing them updates on my progress toward the flight.

Real life Prison Break-esque story except he hasn't made it out! This is the story of a Nepalese man, unable to leave Qatar because the authorities wouldn't right all the wrong done to him. In a last ditch effort, deliberately gets arrested with the hope of being deported! But he is still languishing in Qatar! Can someone help?
