30 something? Now what?!

I have recently been promoted to 30 something club. Call it God’s will or Nature’s cycleomania. I feel blessed. Not many people achieve this but I am here healthy, happy and moving ahead. Thanks Allah, God, Christ, Bhagwan….
Are you one of my club-mates? If you are then you may understand some of what is coming [...]

‘No Mobile’ Traffic law is fun

Ever since the traffic department has banned the usage of mobile phone since May 1, we have all been through the drills of using hands-free while driving around Kuwait. But I guess the better part of this law has been to observe the other drivers. Here are some of my observations:

1. The juggler syndrome:

Back to Kuwait: Cold weather, Inflated prices, Missing DJ, Work galore..am lovin it

Welcome to Kuwait of 2008…and a much needed warm welcome to me back in Kuwait. First impressions….Kuwait is cold weather-wise. To put it more delicately…friggin freezing wet’n cold.

Radio Kuwait FM 99.70…the cheesy yanked up..Y’All

If there was ever a Cheesiest of Cheesy Choice Awards then FM 99.70 or Super Station Radio Kuwait , its dj’s and adverts would scoop them through the roof. The over-greasy Yankee accent of the DJ’s, clichés, avoidable voice overs, lame jokes fill up your ears if you are tuned in to FM 99.70.

WTF: Kuwait Times needs help

Seriously someone dial 911 or 777 or whatever number we have here in Kuwait for an urgent situation…Someone mail the management, the editorial section and stakeholders of Kuwait Times. The future of Kuwait Times can be foretold with such statements from their staff columnists.
Writing an article for Kuwait Times becomes as boring as doing homework [...]

Reality bites…things that never change

Triangular sandwiches taste better than square ones
At the end of every party there is always a girl crying
One of the most awkward things that can happen in a pub is when your pint-to-toilet cycle gets synchronized with a complete stranger
You’ve never quite sure whether it’s ok to eat green crisps
Everyone who grew up in the [...]
