Accept People the Way they are and Act Wisely...

Well, In old days when i was workin wit Cybertech, where a friend had joined some Art of Living classes. and he used to always say this. And I remembered this statement from him. And since than I always try and observe how much it is True.

Have u ever tried changing a person?
Tried changing the way he thinks?
If Yes, how much have u succeeded. Or have u found the above statement True.

I find the above statement so True, to the best of my experience. and especially it is True for those people who have the feeling that they know everything, they dont need any1 to tell them nething. But how good or bad is being stubborn in this way. have u ever felt the same thing. Yes sometime or the other in something or the other, even we act in the same unchangeable mode of operation.

I guess it would be only wise who have control over themselves, can put themselves in the changeable mode, and grasp things that some1 says and is gonna benefit them and accept the changes and implement them in the way they are.

I m getting into Philosophy i guess, although I dont know the definition of Philosophy. Some can help me wit that. But Yes, I am observing people closely and learning lot of things, which I haven't learned over the years. Although I thought I had learnt lots from the experiences in life. But now it seems there is lot more to handle and learn.

I havent been able to blog since some time. Due to this thinking going on. Maybe will blog more about my thoughts on this and would love if someone can drop comments to educate me more on this in this matter.

Kuwaitis.. Friendly or Rude

Every1 might have a different view about them based on their personal experiences. And no1 can draw a complete picture of them and I dont know who can judge a brand of people based on some of their experiences. Well the people I have come across in this 3 months who r real Kuwaitis. I haven't found them to be rude to me. I have found most to be friendly and supportive.

There were those who spoke to me about you have come here new, than they spoke about the weather conditions and how to save myself in this by taking a lot of liquid intake (Laban & Water)
There were those who adviced me to make a driving license and keep myself busy driving around and keeping myself busy.
There were those who told I could go to the nice Seaside and spend some time there and keep myself away from boredom.
There were those who helped me with the legal processes till I procured the Civil ID.
There were those to guide me to the available banks and mobile services etc.

So In general I find them to be nice. Atleast they are nice to me. I have some who regularly visit me and give friendly advice and make sure I m not so homesick to run back home.
Yes, I have friends who came to me with chocolates. I dont remember any Indian friend giving me a choclate unless demanded. ;)

Thanks for your support friends. Or should I SAY MY KUWAITI friends.

I have met some kuwaitis when I opened a bank account and maybe in the cab and their behavior was friendly too. I in fact could talk and joke with them. So can u listen people who state Kuwaitis r rude.

I dont knw if this kind of behavior is only to me or to selected few. Well I guess its the same principle to any brand of people in this world. Give respect and Get respect. Speak nicely and u will be spoken back to nicely.

So its all in the way, U look at them, the way U observe. And the way u appear to them. Only people who try to be rude to them will be treated rudely. And this principle holds true for any brand of people across the globe.

So Smile and u will get back a smile..... :)

Late Nite outing

This was a weekend like Mumbai. Wat i mean is. I reached back home at 1:45 a.m. in the nite for the first time in Kuwait. Went for a program in the evening and after that to the shopping center. And the shopping centre( City Center) is open till 1 a.m. The rush was as if it was 6 p.m. in some Mumbai mall at 1 a.m. While driving back, so many cars man. U cant think its late nite.

I guess bcos of the sun, people start their day after sunset maybe. And saw a dangerous accident, didnt have the camera to shoot it. Two cars upside down on a hill kind of slope, seems they had fallen from the road above it. And it might have occurred couple of hours before. May God save all, Accidents here are dangerous.

Speed Kills.
Expats drive @ 120-130
Locals drive @ 140-200+

And dont dare overtake a local and look at him while doing tht, because if he gets instigated he will block u. That means he will overtake u and drive very slowly to get you on your nerves. learning lots man....

So I m really scared to take the driving seat.
