Bollywood: No Smoking…a movie by a ’stoned’ director

Rated [rate 2]
How do we put this delicately? The director [Anurag Kashyap] of No Smoking must have been eternally stoned while writing and directing this movie. Watching this movie is once in a lifetime opportunity to redeem yourself of all your sins that you might have committed by watching all the B-category C-Class movies.
The movie [...]

Need help: Plasma or LCD?

Plasma or LCD seems to be question of this decade. This brings back the memories of BETAMAX vs VHS and another one from todays, the so called HD vs BlueRay. Anyways, I have been window shopping for a flatone for some days now and have come across some very beautiful [performance wise], some dumb, and [...]

Review: Homous & Shewerma at Nawara Salmiya

I have tried homous from lot of places in Kuwait, but I have yet to find something better than the one available at Nawara in Salmiya. This joint is obscured within the streets of Salmiya, but look below for the map. They have all the usual Arabian stuff hamous, sandwiches, shewerma etc. The shewermas may [...]

Review: Mexican Spicy Shewerma at King Farouj

This joint is located opposite the Pizza Hut on Belajat Street. This is the end of Restaurant Street towards the Belajat street. As for shewerma they claim to have various styles from Italian, to Mexican to Arabian to Farouj Special, but Mexican is famous. So we picked the Mexican Spicy Shewerma. The shewerma was not [...]

Review: Tea Lounge at Movenpick Kuwait Free Trade Zone

Saturday was quite busy as I had a deadline to finish off a project in the Free Trade Zone. I decided to drop by at Movenpick FTZ for a light brunch. Tea Lounge was open and the Grand Piano caught my eye, I walked in, and ordered for coffee and Tiramisu. I have a sweet [...]

Review: Ruby Tuesday, an awkward experience

One can feel the winter slowly creeping in on us daily, and with the feeling of that mild chill, one feels the need for foods that are more sumptuous, heavy and one that would fill the body with warmth. I enjoy steaks and especially during the winters as I feel they are the soul food [...]

DSL prices in Kuwait November 2007

Since our last check it seems United Networks is really pushing into the market with extreme discounts. This is good news for the consumers as they are getting better value for money. Still Kuwait market is very expensive in comparison to International market prices.
Interesting offers are 2Mb from United Networks for half the [...]

Favourite Chai spot in Kuwait

Since we are so used to having tea , shaii, or chai everyday [and many times in a day] in Kuwait, I believe we have all become sort of Chai addicts. We have tea with family, friends, loved ones and colleagues at the drop of a hat. So here is one more traditional joint to [...]

Review: Winners Restaurant [Indo-Continental cuisine]

Last weekend we dropped by for dinner at Winners restaurant. This joint can be missed unless you look closely while driving from Salmiya City Center towards Marina Mall. Look for the directions below. Anyhow we have been there couple of times before and have found to be in the league of Mughal Mahal. As [...]

..not exactly what they advertise, especially when its over priced at KD 1.500/-. This is KFC Fish Zinger, and you can check the amount of tartar sauce they ’spit’. Also the drink that goes with it is ‘half’ ice, and half the drink. Next time you go there as [...]

Review: Transformers

A handful of Autobots, couple of Decepticons, a lame boy and a uber-hot chic, add action, some comedy, tons of effects, and a truckload of crappy story, mix’em well and you have Transformers. Yes my friends, Transformers could have broken the benchmark setup by movies like Terminator-2 and X-Men in terms of story and effects, [...]
