Don’t you hate this feeling in the stomach? We have came across much worse fears in life, yet this fear seems to be the most awkward; when the heart is still beating fast waiting to hear “Flip your papers. You can now begin answering the questions.” -- It is the fear of the white paper. . No matter how hard you study, as soon as… Read More

Fashion is a huge word. Kuwait fashion is a huge-er word. Fashion is commonly known to be a matter of personal taste; it is connected to beauty as a matter of fact. That’s why I don’t get a program like ‘Fodha wla Modha’ (though the translation is lame, it literally means ‘Chaos or Trend’). I don’t think it’s something one can decide if it’s good or bad, proper or not; and even though fashion experts and specialists do exist, not anyone can determine “Fashion” from “Chaos”. Just look at the hippie who’s put as a judge in that program… Read More

If there is something my mother likes, it is that one of her sons surprise her with preparing a breakfast in the early morning before she wakes up. She loves traditional Kuwaiti breakfast: Tea, warm milk, fresh Labnah, French cheese, scrambled eggs (the only dish I can cook), olives, Falafel, Fool, Sambousa and hot Iranian bread. Ironically, the bread has nothing to do with its name, go around all of Iran and I’ll give you 10000 Tumans if you find any. Probably named Iranian bread because of the bakers being Iranian. To all the bakers who baked us that… Read More

Fifty years ago, if a man would walk in the streets wearing a shirt and jeans, he’d get awkward looks from people in the neighborhood. In Kuwait, the Dishdasha was the only suitable clothing for a man, and with time, the society started adapting new traditions as it engaged more with the rest of the world. The traditional clothing, Dishdasha for men and Abaya for women is now optional choices. Just as this concept of clothing was changed in the eyes of our society, so did other things… Read More

There are barriers between us and the better us. Some of these barriers require a massive will to break them, and some of these barriers are really thin, yet they still stand unbreakable. When we are physically sick, we can reach the better us by going to a physician easily, but when we are psychologically sick –which is usually more dangerous– it is way too embarrassing to get better by visiting a psychologist. Thus, we remain sick. .… Read More

Poor, poor Kuwaiti guys. Like any other men in this world, they have the B.C.C. (Biological Companionship Clock), and when they reach a certain age –depending on the man–
the alarm goes off “I need a wife”, “I need a wife”, if he tries to ignore that alarm, it goes “NOW!”. At this point, this young lad has two options:- .… Read More

I think the moon has an effect on people, have you seen it? I’ve noticed that whenever it’s a full moon, people tend to be more aggressive and emotional; or maybe it’s just me. This year, we’ve welcomed 2010 with a lunar eclipse, and boy, did people define madness? . My friends wanted to hang out for the New Year eve, and because… Read More

Since elementary school and science teachers were telling us about the four seasons: summer, fall, winter and spring. When we were told that in fall, tree leaves turn yellow, we felt left out. Is it because we barely have trees? Or because they're always yellow? Either way, what's funny was the description of spring, the green fields, colorful flowers, charming butterflies, singing birds, dancing squirrels and the beautiful spring breeze. The scene wasn't so strange, we smiled as we remembered that we saw that vista, but not in Kuwait, it was in Disney's Cinderella.…
