Thanks for sharing this piece from your life ...Sir,<br />Thanks for sharing this piece from your life journey. You've taken readers for an interesting and historical journey of Libya, an ancient libya with limited freedom and its transformation, even the old names of libya are hard to remember though. Ironically, i was not much aware of such Govt. of Kerala initiatives, undertaking international construction projects that too during those days. <br /><br />Also, liked the way you all addressed col. as payyan :-) after all if someone can't utter the real name, people will have to derive an alternate one and you got one real good one.<br /><br />I most usually skip anything historical but sir, i would like to mention that you've got this remarkable talent of writing historical facts especially a reminiscent history of your experiences, so well that the reader is never bored.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15460565723382584958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4468380702033224119.post-58257947126530195522013-07-03T14:10:58.290+05:302013-07-03T14:10:58.290+05:30Dear Jaison,

The one major change I note, among many, is that General public are more friendly by 2005. I worked in Mellitah, 130km From Tarabulus, on the Internatioanal highway leading to Tunisia. Sabratha was our weekly destination to make phone calls home! Those days, Lybia was jumping from land lines directly to Blue tooth camera phones :D Still, each sim card cost approx. 1100USD at that time, and not available to non Lybians, which was reduced to USD 80, by early 2006. So, we had to depend on the satellite communication available in the camp office, which costs 3.5-5USD per min or travel 50km to Sabratha to wait for 2-3hrs for an internet call. Again, most Thursdays, lines were busy.. So, by 11.30 there, we will hang up.. my parents waiting for my call till next week. But there were internet cafes. The Olive orchards were still there nicely preserved. and Dates too. But, public transportation was a nightmare. To make Lybians find a job, Col. aka Payyan ordered that no expats shall drive vehicles on Lybian roads or inside any camp. Sometimes, Military will raid our site, and arrest all expat drivers.. 2-3hours suspense drama. Finally, the project manager of Hyundai will call his counterparts in consultant and client side, who will negotiate with military to release all..! And the total cost of it - a few cups of Good brewed coffee :D. Commodity scarcity is still there.. but it changed face. Every vegetable is costlier. Imagine you have to opt between 60 lit of petrol and a pineapple, both cost 10 Lybian Dinars! Liquor was still prohibited, with exception to European / US citizens. But, it was locally available.. :D When you wrote 36yrs, it reminds me of the hoardings put up all across Lybia in 2005 - a large "36" Indicating 36 years of Gaddafi's reign. Thank you for reminding the name of the country. He changed the name of the country again to "Great Socialist People's Lybian Arab Jamahyria" - GSPLAJ in short form was appearing in all our construction drawings. In total, I felt life of common public was very hard.. and I was not wrong. Payyan was thrown out of power for all his 'work' there.
