Kuwait

I came with family to Kuwait in 2001 first as my eldest son Mansoor was working there. He has joined for M.Tech in Kuwait University as a part time student. His project work was over and he wanted my help in completing the report. After doing that we returned after doing an Umra arranged by my son. Then we came many times and now my 3 sons are living in Kuwait with family. Due to my wives illness we are now forced to stay here mostly.

From 2009 we are mostly here as my 3 sons are here. In between we go to India and return within 3 months. This time I arrived Kuwait in Feb 2020 and unable to go to Cochin due in Corona and since all commercial flights cancelled 

Though Kuwait has lot of money I am surprised that no much progress is made here in the last 15 years. May be due to the fear of war.

Climate wise it is having extreme climate temp ranging from 50+ to 0 with sand storm in between. Salary here is very good so no one wants to return  !

Kuwait culture is that they do not normally entertain others in their homes. Mostly meeting others will be in office or coffee houses. Only their family members meet in Diwanya in the house or elsewhere
