Some AD agency has setup a huge LCD billboard up in Salmiya market. This is above Orient Sports opposite Svensons ice-cream joint. I had noticed it yesterday but almost forgot about it. But today while passing under the signage, the radio in my car went totally whack. I finally realized it was due to the interference of this giant billboard. Guess Salmiya market might turn up as ‘Salmiya Square’ with more of these monstrosities. Looks sexy though in night.

Now this has to be craziest news of the year..from Arab Times [LINK]

‘Missing’ girls dancing in streets: Police have ‘arrested’ the two unidentified Kuwaiti girls — aged 15 and 18 years — on whom the family had filed a missing persons report at a local police station after they had allegedly escaped from home fearing punishment from their father, reports Al-Rai daily. The runaway girls were arrested while dancing on a street in Ali Sabah Al-Salem (Umm Al-Haiman) following a call from an unidentified Kuwaiti man. Although the girls were wearing masks and dishdashas and disguised as boys, the manner in which they were dancing convinced onlookers that they were females. During interrogation they told police they had escaped from their home because their father had seen them kissing an unidentified youth and were afraid of being punished.

Sony Ericsson has released SO703i series of phones at the DoCoMo in Japan. Whats new? Well these phones come with various parfum smells! Wouldnt it be easy if you just spray some parfum on a tissue and wrap your phone in it? Imagine you get a call in the middle of a meeting and you spread ‘Sex Appeal’ around

Tikka Grill: Gulf Road Salmiya

So to curb my hunger pangs, I finally decided to have a Tikka at the Chicken Tikka / Tikka Grill on Gulf Road, behind Sultan Center Salmiya. As usual, I ordered for time-tested Chicken Tikka menu, 2 pieces of chicken with rice [I am not a big fries fan]. So here comes the surprises…

The place has new menu, and new name Tikka Grill
Salad was on the house, as far as I could remember I always paid for it
Prices have increased
Salad bar is surrounded by chairs, made me feel like I am in musical chair contest
Big disappointment was the food, the tikka didn’t taste like the original stuff they used to serve there
I had one tikka and it felt like it had just been thrown in some clay oven, was dry and bit burnt
Pooris have been replaced with lebanese small khubz
Rice was dry, and littered with mushrooms
Will I go back there? Nopes
