Blog By the Bay

By the Seashore of the Gulf Ocean to be precise in Fahaheel, kuwait. I write this blog on my 9300. The water is swift and the air is windy. Families sitting around on the sand as children play in the sea water. Arabs seem to be brave. Back in Mumbai, kids r accompanied by extra cautious parents. Kids here is r tryin to play, swim, wit floats and witout them all in sea water.

Poor Expats - We are all sitting on the wall like Marine Drive watching the sea. But behind us are tables like an open air restaurant. And the waiters came and asked all to move from that wall saying it is Mamnoo(Prohibited). They said things in their regional languages n moved. I turned behind typing on my pet 9300 thinking I might have to move to. They guy who was asking ppl to move smiled, I smiled back sat there steadfast blogging. And I was sitting alone - so now U knw, how it helps to look like an Arab. No1 will mess wit U. So this reminds me of the expats back in Mumbai from other states. We do the same there.

Oh I lost track of the kids. They r still enjoying happily there. Some cute little gals with tubes around tring to face the sea bravely.

There is a walking track also for those who want to have the evening walk like in priyadarshni Park. but none in shorts - Good.

So tomorrow my 3rd week of work begins. Time goes so fast.
