The Tahalof thing will be the usual suspects with their magnificent oratory skills. I say skip it
Edward Said... see if you can find the DVD somewhere
The German photography exhibit is ongoing till Dec 14. Go anytime
So that leaves you with the Maharajas, even though I would rather see actual gems than be lectured about them
And people say Kuwait is boring!!
I would listen to abdulhaleem :)
what a dilemma !
ya3ni either mako shay at all !! or kelishay at once.. when it rains it pours my love ;)
I would go home and watch a nice moive :P but that's just me ;)

الكويت إلى أين
الكويت الى اين؟؟؟
الى الخصخصة
الكل يبي قطعة من هالديرة
الله يرحمنا برحمتة
When faced with too many choices, I pick none and hide under the covers.
where did you end up going?
7 pm tonight (2 hours ago), in bed, mitla77if, brain switched off.
niiice!
6afich! I went to the DAI Maharaja jewel lecture and nurtured my Indian jewelry obsession. It was GREAT.
Some of those stunning jewels are all I can think about right now (and how a solid gold tongue scraper commissioned by Van Cleef or Boucheron could fit into my life ;p ...). I am sadly quite shameless about my love for jewelry...
It is indeed an entirely different experience to see the jewels in person in an exhibit rather than a lecture. One of the most priceless collections that is still mostly intact today (whose pieces have not been ripped apart and reset or their stones pawned off like many other famous Indian pieces of jewelry ) is that of the Nizams of Hyderabad. There are pieces in that astounding collection which make me want to weep at their ridiculous beauty. That is an exhibit that is more than worth any effort it takes to see it, even if you have to get on a plane and fly to New Delhi to do so.
i went to starbucks :D
حياج الله شروق ، وين هالغيبة ؟عسى ماشر ؟ عساج بخير وعسى الناس يحضرون للندوة
so what was the verdict?
I faced the same :D decided to sleep and rest my bones!
today will resume my outdoor activities

إلى انتخابات شتوية كما يبدو
Manal

NBK Jabriya then Tahalof.. And both were unproductive. Hiding under the covers would've been a smarter choice.
Q
نوم العوافي
Mr. Baker
I heard! :( Too bad I missed it.
They're very punctual at Dar al Athar and by 6:54 I was still arguing with Nayrouz in NBK Jabriya.
Would love to visit India one day :)

I prefer our homemade chai 7aleeb.

Tahalof... Aristotle was right. We are political animals.
Q80 Chill Girl & حمودي
شالسالفة؟ ليش الكل نايم مبجر؟
تليق بك جواهر الهند وتركيا ومصر وروما فلا تدعي السياسة تفسد أيامك
Said was great. Too bad you missed it.
