Kuwait - Life of an indian Expatriate

Hello,

Life in Kuwait comes to life on Fridays and Saturdays.
In fact I can say Thursday evening as all arrangement to start

Cricket on Friday at Sharq United
early next morning 5.45AM for the game of cricket at Sharq United has to be completed. We are almost 30 players at the club and on an average end up having two full teams of 11,12 or 13 players.
We play 30 over matches and the plan involves giving batting and bowling to all players.
During summer we have reduced the number of overs to 24.
The game starts at 6AM and ends at 10-10.15 AM. We generally have cliff hangers as the teams are formed to be evenly balanced.

This is the time of the week I look forward to. I am amongst the oldest (age wise) member and it is fun to feel young for the four hours of the week. I am generally so tired when back from the game that I have to take a nap to get back the energy to get into other activities.


The other major activity on Fridays and Saturdays (sometimes on Thursday evenings) is getting together.

Bachelors party at residence of Kamlesh- Saturday

The get togethers are generally family events but during the summers when families are in India the men get together for forced bachelor parties. Bawdy jokes and serious discussions generally on the Indian political scene, the movies, the TV shows, the stock market are the staple food at such get togethers.

The Kuwait Towers at Night.








There are several other activities you can indulge in when in Kuwait. Like visiting the beach, the marina, the shopping complexes, the restaurants, sights like the kuwait tower, etc.

I hope to cover these in my coming posts.

Regards,
Manoj
