Being a very patriotic person who is the son of an Army officer and the Grandson of a freedom fighter; it is very difficult to be away from your country!
But (what is a blog which does not have But!); if you are staying in a country like Kuwait then you will be as close as possible to your home and feel welcome and happy!
Since I have never been a good economist or even a finance person I have believed that the Kuwait currency is one of the highest in the world mainly because the people are so rich in their minds, culture and behavior!
The way they make you feel welcome and treat you with so much kindness and concern is really overwhelming!
The other day I had a flat tyre and I was waiting on the side of the road for the pick up to come! Standing on the side of the clean and wide road I was admiring the view when so many literally stopped their vehicle and asked me if I want water or want to wait in their car since it was a little warm!
Another time I had the same deal with the car and it was in the residential area and the owner of the house nearby came out and asked me if I want to come inside his house and wait for the pick up! When I politely said it is ok; they asked me for water and food!
Even when they come as Patients the do not jump to their problems! They would greet and then ask how I was doing and also genuinely try to learn and enquire about me! Even if he or she was in pain or discomfort!
When they get better they would genuinely wish or bless you! Sometime they would even give you a warm hug!
Then we have our place where we live with so many different people from so many different countries without any issues! Each doing his or her own duties and respecting others!
Whatever you want is always available near you though I love to drive in these beautiful roads where everyone follows the rules and there is no chaos!
In functions we get to meet so many amazing people who may be kings and sheikhs and even princesses and even great dignitaries of many countries but all would be so pleasant cheerful and so humble! The other day I had a patient who was so good and kind in his words and after everything his wife announced that he was the Ambassador of a country!
So all we can do it make our country proud is by being good citizens and expats like the Indian who made the whole anesthesia care a phenomenon by giving his famous classification!
Seshagiri Rao Mallampati!
Living in Kuwait thus has been a joyous and wonderful opportunity for me and my family and on this National Day I would like to wish great prosperity and happiness to this lovely and amazing country!
