NETWORKING & MASALA DOSA

by Dinesh Kumar Pal
District 20 Administration Manager for the term 2025-2026.

During my recent trip to Bahrain for the District Toastmasters Annual Conference (May 23rd–25th, 2025), the visiting Toastmasters from Kuwait were graciously hosted by our amazing friends from Bahrain for a delightful get-together fondly called the “Masala Dosa Meet.”
Masala Dosa is a crispy crepe-like dish stuffed with spiced potatoes and served with coconut chutney and sambar (lentil and vegetable stew)

Toastmasters from Kuwait & Bahrain networking & sharing their love for food.

From the delicious Masala Dosas, to refreshing hot and cold coffee, laughter, bonding, and priceless memories captured through group and couple clicks—it was an evening to remember!

Today, my heart is filled with pride seeing those special moments published in Gulf Weekly, Bahrain’s popular community newspaper. What a wonderful surprise and honor!
