We boast being such a philanthropic society and part of the Islamic Religion - People are obliged to give Zakat and encouraged to give "sadaka" to the poor.That said, would anyone imagine, someone from this part of the world to replicate what Warren Buffet plans to do:Donating $37 billion to Charity!!?!?!http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/5115920.stmJust a thought for those who preach against

Whenever I enter a public bathroom, whether at work or at a restaurant, I hate to touch the door leading to the toilet seat. Worse than that the inner door handle!! If you think about the action that goes on - A person enters (assuming his hands are clean) and shuts the toilet's door. He takes care of business (whether no.1 or no. 2, it does not really matter) and then touches the door handle

The Amir of Kuwait passed away earlier today.A sad day for Kuwait, as the only Amir we ever knew has left us. He was a good man and a kind hearted soul. May God bless Baba Jaber's soul and may God protect Kuwait from its enemies and the greed of some of its people.

A friend sent me this link:The Fifth Pound I thought the producer was so bold in introducing such a topic to the Arab World.People need to wake up and realize that covering up, enforcing censorship and introducing strict laws will never make us better people!!!

It is very frustrating how most of the things that everyone talks about these days are marriage & relationships. Just because one is not married, does not justify being bombarded with those classic questions / comments from family members or family friends:"Your friend Bu-Shama got married recently, come on get your act together and follow his footsteps, what do you think of the following girl ..

I have been looking for this device but I do not think it has been invented yet, or maybe I am not looking hard enough. I want a Bluetooth enabled storage device - preferably 60 GB or more.I think it will be so cool to have such a device, where I can simply enable blue tooth whenever I want and exchange files wirelessly. I will not need a USB, and I will be able to transfer documents from my

Them: The cops in charge of issuing driving licenses in Kuwait.Why: I could not believe how corrupt and inhuman they are!!!What happened: Many Indians working in Kuwait complained on numerous occasions that they have failed the driving test although they:a) Have an Indian driving license and have been diving there for more than five years.b) Paid for and taken driving lessons in Kuwait (Kindly

NOBEL PRIZE !!!Although I believe this guy ( Mohammed El Baradei) did a great job as head of the IAEA to handle the various nuclear weapon related issues this year, he was still just doing his job!!!It is not fair that he gets the Nobel prize while various less visible activists who are actually sacrificing their lives to spread peace do not get anything!!He is of Arab descent and I am really

To avoid a crash in the Kuwaiti Stock Market "God forbid" I decided to save some money in the bank and get minimal heartbreaking interest. The opportunity cost was so high and it was hard for me to take that decision, yet I knew it was the right thing to do.I figured I will open a new account in a bank that is not my main one, in order to forget about the money and not be tempted to invest it in

I love Saturday night live, the Simpsons and Futurama and I sometimes wish we had similar shows running all year long in the Arab world. We need some good comedy for a change, something that you can simply relax watching. I wish we he had our comedians collaborate in creating a funny Arab cartoon like the Simpsons for example. Block 13 was a good start, but it was too Kuwaiti oriented.I have met

I don't get it!! Why is Kuwait banning a young talented player from tennis because he played against an Israeli opponent!!! Who cares!!?!?!?!! I was furious to hear about this whole incident and I could not believe how stupid this country has become. Palestinians are negotiating / working / playing sports with the Israelis, yet for some outdated law, Kuwaiti players are not allowed to do so!!!!!

..... dum dum duh dee dum dumLife on the KSE (Kuwait Stock Exchange) -An IPO a day,owners cash out and potentially rip people off!! Most of the IPOs that came to market recently are really shady companies in my opinion. The owners plan to make full use of the high liquidity out there and possibly run with your money!!IPO anything from schools to dry cleaning stores and you can become a rich

I do not understand how this lady can be singing such a song, cause following a man in such context is simply stalking!!!! She is planning to follow her man anywhere, even if he goes to the moon!!! Give the lad some personal space for God's sake!!!! Not sure if this song sends the right message to women on how to get a man?!?!. She obviously thinks that a "Ghaneema Bul Reesh" approach will get

Hope women vote wisely and make an enlightening difference.With the achievement of such a major milestone I foresee a glorious future for Kuwait.The campaigns should see some interesting changes:Will the billboards have pictures, or is it against Shareeaa?, wait I thought pictures are against Shareeaa too, according to some interpretations. Silhouettes might work!!A woman's voice is considered "

Yes, it is right, the elevator is probably the smallest area in Kuwait where you can publicly mix both sexes in . As a result so many frustrations are released and so much energy is generated from this unity. If we can only focus this energy, I think Kuwait will survive even without oil. Managers and cleaners will never mix except on the elevator. This occasional mix usually creates a new
