Ramadan @ Kuwait

1. Mubarak Alaikum Shahr On the first day of Ramadan, all were wishing each other with this greeting. And the respondent would say: Alaina wa Alaikum Insha Allah

With little bit of Arabic I know it means: "May this Month be blessed for u". And the respose: "For me and for you God Willing"

So I really liked the first day people were wishing each other every1 they met the first time, it was a nice atmosphere.

2. Work Timings: 6 hours only (So Kool) I remember working 12 hours in Ramadan last year when I was with CyberTech

3. Girgiyan- Thats Toffees -But Not for me :( Well here Kids go to homes of locals and they get Toffess called as Girgiyan

4. For me, its Suhoor and After and Taraweeh Alhamdulillah same as Mumbai, wats different.

There is a difference, In Mumbai I could go n hang around with friends, could go to Muhammad Ali road and enjoy the delicacies, feast there the whole Night!

I remember I used to plan it with my college friends and I used to be at Muhammadali Road atleast once in Ramadan wit them and N no. of times with my local friends, and they used to enjoy the food sooo much.

But nothing of that sort here. Atleast in the locality I stay In, but majority here is Expats! I am not sure, if Kuwaiti localities have any special feasts like in MUMBAI. Although I heard some1 say Kuwaitis eat the whole year in Hotels but in Ramadan they eat at home, Home cooked food. Well not sure about it. As I have just heard it from some Expat.

Yes U dont get to see the Malpua of Suleman Usman, Nor the Flavored Firni of Noorani, Nor the Bheja Fry and Turkey and Chicken dishes of Muhammadali Road, Nor the Baara Handi of Bori Mohalla, Nor the Nalli Nihari of Noor Mohammadi. Nor the Soup of Bade Miyan. This are just to name a few.

Well for those for whom the above Para is Greek, it is names of dishes and the related restaurant which is famous for it.

Well Gotta End this here!!!
