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

Once upon a time there was a princess. She was fair like a spring day on which the soft breezes usually caress her silky threads of hair while the sun shines shyly in the presence of her divine glow and charm that lures the roses to blossom in her direction. A fantasy of kings and princes she was, and none has been blessed with her approval until her eyes met the eyes of a poor young man strolling the market for hunting chances for a better tomorrow. He never knew that he can find a jewel so rare that no one had laid a touch on. At this very moment the story of the sun… Read More

So we continue the faded trail of supreme curiosity. The deflowering of such a paradigm can be considered as the degradation of a ghost’s silhouette, but of course ghosts do not exist and so how does one reveal the soul of a spectre? Now the invisible superpowers have done a terrific job by surrounding their very existence with nothing but uncertain and expressively confusing emanation; an intentional self-defensive mechanism to shield their true identity and something even worse: their intentions. Powered by money and greed they have aggressively proliferated… 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.…

Through time, we are witnessing the picture of Islam degrading in the eyes of the world. With a pass of a day, more blood and filth are staining the peace-loving white pigeons of Islam, turning them to brutal monsters by groups who claim to be "Muslims". And what are we doing about this? . Watching. Read More

The birth of a new day heard the first screams of a newly born hero. Coming from a mother so nurturing that it gave everything, from her strength to her reputation to secure that child in the warmth of her hug and a father who guided the armies of fortitude and honor through the battlefields of the impossible and rendered the weapons of hardship harmless. A child destined to be a guardian of honor and the conqueror of eternal glory. A child who grew to bring victory not by the sword, but by the word; known not for his ferocity but his superiority; turning lies and fiction… Read More
