Wish you all a Merry Christmas and hope you all have a great time with your loved ones.

Rickshaw Service in Kuwait

In: Fun Times, Kuwait

Looks like someone is planning to start a rickshaw service in Kuwait. Will only be able to cater to about 20% of the population since the remaining 80% of Kuwait is obese and wont fit thru that tiny entry to the back seat! The competition is heating up already caz someone has flicked  this guy’s [...]

Super Memory

In: Fun Times, Movies & TV

This guy has an amazing memory. And a very detailed one at that!!!

Committed to Success?

In: Fun Times, Kuwait

Seems to be an odd place to put up this ad. The building looks terribly dilapidated, probably up for demolition and Investment Dar is advertising success!

IP Camera

In: Fun Times, Technology

Smile, my IP address is 192.168.1.12. Probably the dumbest thing to do is have an IP camera advertise its IP address.

Souk Sharq – More Warnings

In: Fun Times, Kuwait

Souk Sharq has put up even more warnings on their main doors. The problem is that no one either sees these or no one cares. No pets, no trolleys, no smoking, cycling, no using your skate-boad thingy and no roller blading. They missed out the “no breathing” and “no having fun” signs.

Zain: Time to Learn Hindi

Ministry of Education on the Roads

In: Fun Times

At first glance no one would notice this. But since the hero in front decided to slam his brakes at the last momento, I ended up close enough to read this sticker. “Servie to Ministry of Eduation”. Makes you wonder how much focus is actually on education!!! A simple spell-check would do.  But then what [...]

Qatar Telecom Balance SMS

In: Fun Times

“Your balance has dropped below QR 5.00 and is now QR 5.58, please recharge your account.” Shyam sent across this SMS from QTel in Qatar. They just love to confuse you in Qatar …or maybe they just can’t count!

Action Figures – Not for Sale?

In: Fun Times

One strange thing I noticed at Rihab complex in Hawalli were these two shops selling action figures. Both were closed!!! Looks like they are just teasing us with their collection. Seems they don’t ever open for business. Or maybe the competition around them don’t wont me to come back! Check out the Grendizer figures in [...]
