HEY BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE IN KUWAIT,I AM BACK FROM MY VACATIONS ITS REALLY NICE TO HEAR FOR AND AGAINST COMMENTS AGAINST ME , I WELCOME EVERYTHING DEAREST PEOPLE,I HAVE NO HATRED AGAINST MY PEOPLE. I JUST GAVE SOME FOOD FOR THE BRAINS WHO ARE HUNGRY THATS ALL, ENJOY AND HAVE A SHEESHA............;)

and priya ur name seems preety i will give u my number straight lets meet up in abbasiya near abbasiya supermarket

Finally I would conclude every single situation can be tackled positively. Think Positive and be Positive.

Regards,

Rajesh Pillai,

Appreciate the time and patience you had to write such big comments. But sorry to tell that you have not understood the message that our fellow Indians, Maverick, Russell and enjoying Indian wants to convey. Regarding people loosing business, I don’t think it’s a big deal as I know that most of my South Indians brothers who own these businesses have made a lot of money by either selling goods at a higher cost or selling things which are expired. I know of the bakala below my house that was sell rotten ginger to the restaurant next door at almost quarter the price. Spoiled or whatever at the end of the day it is gonna be in someone’s dinner plate.

Climbing till the 8th floor, I don’t mind taking the stairs once in a while. In our busy lives where we hardly have any time for exercise, this is the time where we are getting a chance to be fit. During Invasion, we had to walk for days and stay in tents. Climbing stairs should not be a big deal if you compare the earlier.

Murtaza’s neighbor ate pizza. They understood the situation and acted accordingly. Nobody has a boring life earlier. But as soon as I landed in Abbasia, my life suddenly went on a standstill without my knowledge. No other sight other than students running with books for 4 different tuitions on a single day on weekdays and going for various religious activities on weekends. I am staying in my building for 11 years now and I have never seen my neighbor’s kids playing down. I can understand murtaza’s feelings when he must have seen his neighbor eat pizza.

I don’t understand why people in the forum have made it a big issue to go to the malls at night. I myself been to Salmiya during these power cuts and notices so many young people enjoying life even at 3 in the morning.

In regards to your comments for mellu labourer, I hope there are lots of people who can manage with the minimum earning they get. I know of my neighbor Abbas who had lost his job last year and was doing a temporary of selling perfumes

To hell with Maverick,ruselll and enjoying indian. I dnt think they understand the word "logic".



do they knw how many people lost buisness with these power cuts. Restauranters,bakalas,fish shops..all these ppl lost money coz thier goods got spoiled.People got stuck in lifts. women have to climb till 8th floor with thier kids.

when there is a power cut for a limited period den the point of goin out to a cafe /toruist spot is understandable..But what our dear fellow beings mentioned down is about the frequesnt power cuts in a day..to be exact for 2 hrs after evry 2 hrs. does these guys understand what it means?



mutuza's negihbour ate pizzza.or smeone went to kuwait tower..who is to blame if they had such a boring life ealrier.Here they are talking abt the immense heat and the troubles they facing due to power loss.



yes my brother, if its in india..we do complain.i come from b'lore city..we do have power cuts..but we do get responses from the electcity dept.Here the stroy was difftrnt..the authorities didnt reply or issue any statemnts until days after the ambassdor took the matter up.Please do weigh both situations carefully rather than furnishing illogical points like goin to cafe and mall that too at 2am and 4 am.!!!



i live in farwaniya. I got a call from my work buddy in jaleeb and asked me to come over urgently.His wife was in labour pain and the electrcty was down. we had to carry her down 6 floors. i hope the ladies commenting in this forum will atleast understand the seriousness of the situation.



i dont expect these people(maverick,russell,enjoing indian,murtuza,linny) apologies or help these people.But atleast stop hurting them and mind your own buisness.



A word to mellu labourer You survive in kuwait with 20 bucks and that too you enjoy. U send 20 KD to home thats 3500 rs. i really wud like to know how you manage these things. We shall ask the president to hounour you with padmashree.



take cre all of you ,god bless

i pity the comments of such sadistic people(russel,enjoying indian,maverick,mutuza). I am from reggai,i understand the diffculty of the situation. i am happy that the power got restored.



MrRamukanda, Lee and other victims of this difficulty..just donot heed to these porvokers..there are menance to the society and heartless blood suckers.these people are not matured at all and doesnt understand the situation.



Lets hope such a situation doesnot occur again.

LOTS OF FANS FOR ENJOYING INDIAN AND RUSSELL...

Hi,

Thanks to the wise people who opened my eyes in the forum. Last night for the first time i saw the moon in Kuwait. Earlier we used to read the bible and go off to sleep at about 9:00. Yesterday was the first day i saw the night life in Kuwait. Now i realise what the brother in Church tells us every friday.

NOTHING HAPPENS BY ACCIDENT. GOD WANTS US TO BE THERE.

follow enjoyingindian and enjoy in koweit

I KNOW THERE IS POWER CUT BUT STILL THERE ARE LOT OF NUTS WHO DONT UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM SPECIALLY RUSSELL AND ENJOYING INDIAN AND NOW MURTAZA KHEDEPPA, .I FEEL IN THE NAME OF POWER CUT THEY ARE PROMOTING BUSINESS FOR GULF MART , STARBUCK COFFEE AND ETC ARE THEY MAD. CAN ANYBODY LEAVE WITH THE FAMILY MID NIGHT IN POWER CUT TO GO AND ENJOY COFFEE WHAT NONSENSE THEY ARE TALKING. THEY CLAIM THEY ARE BORN IN ABBASIYA AND STAYING SINCE LAST 27 YEARS HEY BUDDY THERE ARE LOT OF PEOPLE STAYING THERE BEFORE YOU WERE BORN WHAT WE HAVE SEEN YOU HAVE NOT SEEN. ABSSIYA WAS JUNGLE NOBODY WANTS TO GO THERE IT ONLY CAME UP IN 1983 AND ONWARDS AND LAST THE STOP OF BUS WAS THERE NEAR THE FLYOVER RUNNING TOWARDS HASAWI AND FARWANIYA HOSPITAL

AND THAT TOO ONLY UP TO 8.00 PM

ONLY ONE BUS WAS RUNNING THAT TIME

What is the use of writing .nothing is going to change Kuwait brains .Anna kuwaiti

calm down bruce Lee. chillax and have hakka noodles. thenks to enjoyingindian i have discovered what is starbucks and the hot latina like kuwaiti womans that comes there for mixing coffee with flirting. Mr Lee you think we labourers dont have money for starbucks? it is very demeaning to say that we dont have money for starbucks. i send 20KD for my family in india and keep 20KD for enjoyment purpose in kuwait. so next time think before you write pleez.

I am a resident of Abbasiya living there from the time I was born.It’s sad plight to see this Power Cuts .But why is this happening only in Abbasiya.

My next door neighbour’s are 3 families in one flat,its really sad to see them having

Sleepless nights.I never saw their kids outside the house other than going for tuitions,

Now they are atleast playing.i actually thought all the kids in the building were doing M.B.B.S. My Wife’s friend next door had neva been to ne restaurant,she’s saying Pizza

Is awesome.I personally admire the comments of enjoyin Indians and Russell.they

Contribute to the upliftment of backward people in abbasiya.

People like Lee and Ramukanda have to open their eyes and widen their thoughts and take their Prado's to newer places.

Hey Mr Lee,

Phew.. did a lot of running around n made a lot of calls n finally got what you wanted.. Enjoying Indian's - Plate ### its " 123 - Kiss - My - Ass". i for 1 surely wanna see what you capable of doing :)

Pardon my language Mr. Lee but Get a life my good man... am sure u didn't get so personal abt the power cuts / shortages back home where ever it is.. i presume India rite?.. now did you? Kuwait is a luxury you have.. not cause Kuwait needs 'you' but cause 'you' need kuwait dont forget. how many years did u say u lived in kuwait?? oh ya you were born here rite?.. calculate n see if the no of yrs u have lived here is greater or the no of years Kuwait has faced such a power shortage before.

Mr.Enjoying Indian - Even though i may not totally support the way you probably came across with your statement, i guess you should know the audience at this Forum and conveyed your thoughts accordingly. I concur to your thoughts on a broader perspective, but you could have put it across in a bit more sober manner that's all.

anyways hope there will not be any more power cuts anywhere in Kuwait soon .. and also ppl learn to live life as humans and not as machine, be reasonable but in the bargain enjoy life too... "life is not a rehearsal.. live it well"

Have a gr8 day..

Enjoying indian and russell have made a point, i agree...lee is just jealous of the fact he is in the worst situation so leave those guys i feel the pointed out a way and brains,and itsnot the starbucks they mentioned even 100 fils tea in maliya will do a change...we are showing the backwardness in this place i am sure it is only in abbasiya why not salmiya because the people in abbasiya needs improvement, its we who destroyed abbasiya not the arabs,if abbasiya is full and lots of people , people need to find other places thats all,and speacially .

Thanks to Enjoying indian and Russell,i am a student in kuwait, i finally saw the kuwait tower now in 20 years these worst situation, usually my dad comes from work and sits at home now he is out and we are out as well,i think really we should change our opt of living in abbasiya, that way when people are out, saves more energy and life will be giving it naturally.

Mr Rusell& enjoying indian .Do not generalise jaleeb ppl like that..ohh ya ur idea of goin to star bucks was superb..at 4 and 2 in the morning..when the power goes..we will wake up and say..." Kids ...its time to go to starbucks".In which world are u?..do u really stay in jaleeb? if so u wud have known the FREQUENT power cuts..



There are labourers and oder low scale pay workers living in jaleeb..they dont want to go to starbucks..with that money they wud prefer sending home for thier kids or hmmm...... y dont u do somthing...next time when the power goes..call sme 50-60 ppl on the road and treat them in starbucks...wudnt that be a sight to watch?



And by the way ppl with kids have been visitng malls and restaurnts during this power shortage..but when its frequent hw can this be practical dude..



do u thnk ppl in jaleeb donnot knw a mall oder than gulf mart?..when have gulf mart declared as mall? ur crazy dude..u really need to sit dwn and think abt wat u have written.



pls donot provoke ppl like this.Keep these type of ur comments to urself.



i am born and brought up in kuwait..i am in abbasiya for past 27 yrs. i knw the abbasiya b4 and after iraq war. u guys cant even imagin hw beautiful it was b4 2004....so to the enjoying indian...pls GET OUT OF ABBASIYA...or leave ur car plate number ..i shall make arrangemnts to do the rest!!!

COMMENTS BY ENJOYING INDIAN AND RUSSELL ARE TERRIBLE AND I FEEL THEY ARE INSANE AND GET THEMSELVES TREAT IN MENTAL HOSPITAL. I WISH ALL SHOULD GET POWER IN ABBASIYA AND ONLY THESE TWO PERSONS SHOULD GET CUT PERMANENTLY SO THAT THESE BOTH CAN GO TO THE BEACH OR SHOPPING MALLS DAILY TO ENJOY THEMSELVES

WOW i like the comments what enjoying indian and russell made awesome i guess we have to change the outlook in our lives first.......;)

Bring attention to human writes group.bring attention to all human body .Now itself abbasia residents have suffered lot.this is a rich contry treating expartiers inhuman way.Indian embassy should wakeup and act in time.

This is nothing but violation of basic human rights. The MEW authorities are anything but inhumane to this pathetic condition. We do have a lot of Indian organizations which I feel should take up the matter to the Indian Embassy if the situation is to continue further.

In this situation also , see some NON SENSE people says lets go out and enjoy. How long we stay out and enjoy?, where we would go at mid night? what about infants and small children even the adult people cant afford the heat. Please try to act/ say sensibly.

I have one question ,Y all this people staying in abbassiya only ? Kuwait means ABBASIYA ???

Did you ever hear anywhere there's 12 hrs power cut in a day in oil rich country like Kuwait???? Sometime feel shame the inhuman way certain sector of society is targeted in the name of power cuts .Residents and Power players take for granted for there own comfort and priorities to target expatriates in this inhumanly fashion.Imagine the record breaking heat this year above 50 deg and without electricity for 12 hours a day where families holding infant babies,children,elderly people put to take the pressure in the name of power cut.Its so dangerous that even lifes can be lost.I would request the authorities to put some light on the power cut issue and take action equally for all and not to target a certain section of the society.

Divide the full of Kuwait into sixty/seventy districts and cut off power for two hours only for each district in turn, that too after informing them two days in advance of the timings and areas of the power cut, so that all concerned can make necessary arrangements. Thereby the same district will have only a two hour cut once every five days and power consumption will be reduced.

Now it is impossible for the anyone to bear this heat. Old people, heart patients, small children cannot walk up stairs to the 8th and 9th floor. The power which is cut every two hours does not help in having a proper sleep at night or day. Many nurses reside in Abbassiya, so how do you expect them to do a proper job while on shift duty, the same way like all the others in their different fields of work. Due to no power, there is also water problem.

The government should think of all residents in the country, not only Kuwaitis and people staying in posh localities.

Malls, shopping centres and other shops should be closed from 12 noon to 4 p.m. and also closed earlier at night. Only specified pharmacies for each area should be open all night. Lighting should be used to the bare minimum by all shops and lightings on hoarding should be stopped immediately.

Reasonable thinking and proper management of handling this situation will keep the inhabitants of this country happy.

Good luck to making Kuwait a better place for all.

It's really sad that this Power Cuts are confined to Abbasiya.But I would like to suggest something to the people of Abbasiya.Why dont u guys go out of your houses instead of crying.The Men only go till down the building to drop their 'Nurse 'wives.The women are only seen with the bible.There's much more in life,so treat this as an opportunity and get out of your houses .Other than Gulfmart ,there are malls where its not a must to purchase.Just go out have fun.I too live in abbasiya and am suffering from this torture .This torture should be for all areas where people have their AC'S 24/7 whether thier dead or alive in the house.So,i hope this torture will end and at the same time ppl drop the lungis,wear pants and get out..

whats disturbing to me as a resident of jaleeb is..why havnt this news cum up in the daily paper. There is not even one sentence about jaleeb power cuts or not even a statement from MEW on whats happening. y are we kept as a negelected group?

will such a thing happen in kuwaiti areas? never..they would have adjusted with generators and make sure the residents wont have even 10 mins shortage of electrcity.But jaleeb are like SLUMS OF KUWAIT.Who cares? We have an indian embassy..Hope sm1 is working there.



what havnt the kuwait or arab times covered it?

what we should do is BOYCOTT this daily papers.Dnt buy them from shops.Make sure the shoppers pass info to the times office.let them cum and investigate.Until and unless it cums in the front page of the times..we should never consider that they treat us as HUMANS

At least these people in jeleeb will go out from thier houses and have fun please indians go out with family and enjoy life instead of just saving money and sitting at home, when there is no electricty go to the beech and have fun ,or go to star bucks have a coffee to cool yourself go to places where u have not seen , i feel this is the best time to see the world out in kuwait,rather than only knowing the way church on fridays , please go out and have fun dear people and let me have place to park my car in the night when i come back from my enjoyment period.

Hi,

Reducing power consumption is what ??

You can see from Port Authority to Shuwaikh

Beach park, road all the street lights are

on even day time??? The authority cut off

the residential area and keep on the lights

in streets. This is amazing !!!

I think there is no plans for Power Cut.They are just making it for some specified places where exparts are more.Small kids are suffering a lot due to this.At night time its too horrible to sleep .Please think and do it properly.

till now fourth day continue power cut.officialy they informed only 3DAYS.they never mind children,old womans,,etc

here always like that bcoz we are expatriates when it will be going to solve this problems???????

DEAR INDIAN AMBASSADOR,



PLEASE TAKE SOME ACTION, OUR KIDS ARE SUFFERING A LOT.

If there is shortage of power, the burden should be shared among allthe people alike irrespective of their identity. It is so sad to see that only "Ajanabis" are targetted for this power saving! If it were were in America or India it would have been a worldwide issue just like what thappened to some actor when he was detained for interogation just because his name had resembalce with some extremists. Here nobody knows what is extended to expats in this Arabian lands! I am so sad to see the pathetical situation of small infants (including mine) under scorching temperature of 55-60 degree. Nobody there to make any voice? All are busy wearing tie and suite possing for photos with political leaders from Kerala.

Hey It is not only in Jleeb power was cut it is cut all areas even Salmiya where expatriate live last week they cut power for 9hrs continously can youl imagine? sleepless nights, food wasted in fridge, kids suffer, but you see ass Malls, Avenues, City centres,etc buzzing with electicity, This is inhuman treatment to expatriate community here who the they dont have any feelings of humanity. God alone hope take our curses and punish those people.They forgot their days when they were invaded.

We can express our feelings through iik, it is good. How many are really ready to respond at this situation, atleast check with our embassy - what is the action taken by them? In such sitations, most of our citizens are happy with such comments only. No unity, afraid to respond, that is the reason we are subjected to such cruelties.

17-06 -2010 11.00am the power shut down is going on and at every 2hours these power cut , They are not even thinking of small children’s living in that area. Available power should distribute equally in interval cutting/distribution among areas (keeping only emergency services) to all peoples considering equally why it is happening in the same area only, you can cut the electricity in the different area, and the emergency number in Khaitan never will be picked up or engaged

HARAAM........we are human............very foolishness moe doing.if they want to save elctricityso many ways,too much powerwaisting shopping mall and street lights.this is injustice .what mistake we have done to the moe? it's horrible tosee that only jaleeb area targeted for power cut.it's harrassment for the expatites who lives in jaleeb.this kuwaities have too much money but no more brain.....so people react thiscruel arasment...

MEW HOPE YOU HAVE READ THE BELOW COMMENTS. PLS DONT DO INJUSTICE TO THE EXPRIATES FAMILYS STAYING IN ABBASIYA. ALL FAMILYS THERE HAVE SLEEPNESS NIGHTS AND JUST IMAGINE HOW THEY MUST BE ATTENDING THEIR WORK DUTIES. REFRAIN FROM GETTING CURSES FROM EXPRIATES. HOPE YOU WILL SOLVE THEIR PROBLEMS AS IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR THEM TO STAY WITHOUT ELECTRICITY WHICH ARE CUT ON DAILY BASIS FOR 2 HOURS

Very foolishness this MOE doing, if they want to save electricity so many ways, too much power is waisting through shops central a/c's were running without anybody and street lights, after official times to much electricity is waisting and also don't know to do the power cut system, too much sad..........

Please, concerned authorities stop this injustice to centre Abbasiya people. What mistake we have done to the MOE? Why this partiality to us. where we go to sleep every night? poor children mid night get up because of extreme heat and cry! no humanity for the poeple cut power at the interval of 2hrs for the duration of 2hours exactly.the are very prompt in this matter.We are going to die if they continue this. mid night when we are in deep sleep sudden power off and children gets up and feel giddyness and we have to fan them with paper!India is better than here even though shortage of power there. maximum 2-3 hrs power cut is there! Indian embassy please do some solution soon.

17-06 -2010 11.00am the power shut down is going on and at every 2hours these power cut , They are not even thinking of small children’s living in that area. Available power should distribute equally in interval cutting/distribution among areas (keeping only emergency services) to all peoples considering equally why it is happening in the same area only, you can cut the electricity in the different area, and the emergency number in Khaitan never will be picked up or engaged

We understand the power situation in Kuwait, and we are ready to cooperate with the authorities if in case of any power cut is required. But the situation here is Abbasiya is different, only some particular area is affected where mostly the Indian families are staying, all around Abbasiya still there is no any problem, if it is a power cut it has to be done in proper way, all should sacrifice equally to pass through the bottle neck. Finding the real reason for this situation as every body knows it’s very easy, the main transformer to supply the power to Abbasiya area is the same as before but the number of buildings and the number of flats has increased almost 500 to 600%, it is too much for the current transformer it has to replaced with the new then only the problem will solved. Temporarily one or two portable generators may solve the issue till the new transformer to replace the existing. Also we all have to reduce the usage of power and water in order to support the concerned authorities to maintain the power supply of the country. Our Indian Embassy can do a better role in this regard; they can take this issue to the higher level to find a solution for this problem, I am sure they already knows this issue. We hope for the best. God help us

A summary of the comments posted and words used by the readers. This is true in all sense.



ridiculous, apathy, inhuman, torture, cruel, irresponsible



Authorities should stop targeting certain communities and act more responsible by informing the public in advance of power cuts.

Dear all, it is very strange to note that the power cut being applied for the past two days in most part of Abbassiya where all Indians expatriates stay, for every 2 hour without any fail irrespective of day or night not, even thinking of how a person can survive in this country with out electricity on this terrible heat.

Ofcourse, we accept power cut at this situation, but it should be applied to all areas. NOT ONLY TO ONE AREA ALONE CONTINUOUSLY. We too givies rent like other areas and also pay without any default the electricity bills. So, do power cut giving justice to all areas equally with notifying each area the time. So that atleast we can plan and adjust the situation. As an indian expatriate, Indian Embassy should bring this matter to the attention of the Kuwaiti Authorities and do the needful.

Its horrible to see that only Jleeb Area is targeted for power cut. It sonly harrassment for the expatrites who lives in jleeb, if this is meant of power saving then why there is no power cut in other areas, why only jleeb people have to suffer round the clock. Secondly, why the Govt. gave no objection to the Kuwaitis to make 10 floor appartments compare to earlier 5 floors. Please think abt the families who have small kids and their families who have to attend duty. Is this a power saving or harrassing expatriates?

I think this is not a officel power cut But a serious mistake made by MEW giving new connections to the newly constructed multistoreyed buildings by VASTA with out considering the capacity of local Substations. Therefore the tentents should collectively complain to the owners NOT THE WATCH MAN / HARES of the buildings regarding the lack of electricity and the owner should approach the M E W and advise and pressurise them to to increase the capacity of the substation or increase the number substation.and that would surely take time.so in order to solve the problem immediately generators should be installed at convenient places to provide electricity.It is our right to get the electricity in our flats.

The process of power cut in Jaleeb Shyoukh is terrible, with every 02 hrs,with no power and water,along with the souring high tempreature. Its been known only the expatriates at Jaleeb are being targeted.

Think of the children who are also suffering of exessive heat during night and their parents who are mostly office goers , fanning the kids at night, and are not in a position to attend the office, if such act continues.

Some action is to be taken from the Indian Embassy with the concerned Kuwait Electricity Department to stop this sort practice on war foot.

Show some humanitarism towards Expatriates at least in this matter.

This present situation, we can't say anything about the power cut. But there is no uniformity about this. They should publish about this. Then we can make some arrangements. Now it is very cruel what they are doing.

Dear all... the planned power cut is only for Jaleeb residents. Not in anyother parts of Kuwait. Poor expats. Let you people suffer.. this is the attitude of the authorities. In city and shopping malls the huge display boards are illuminated 24 hours. The planned power cut is not applicable to them. A country with all planning without PLANNING AT ALL. The maximum defaulters of electricity bills are not expats. Still the discrimination is towards residents of the center of ABBASIA.

power cut in centre of Jleeb only!!!others have fulltime power and enjoying whole day with AC. but centre of Jleeb residents suffering every 2hours alternatively because of power cut.That means 12 hours in a day!!! Haram! If it is planned power cut it should be some fixed time for all the areas of Kuwait. But it is discrimination against the Indians!

The power cut officials are enjoying with same area power cut strategy!Please let it be uniformal to all so that we also will enjoy a little with AC for some time and all should be treated equal!High temperature and no power in the night also. Haram!!! We are dying with the high temperature here.

Is the Authotity going to do anything about this or do the "MAKEEN HINDIS" in ABBASIYA have to spend SUMMER 2010 SWEATING round the clock..... Ridiculous !!!!!!

As an expat, i personally welcome the decision for power cuts in kuwait, this may have seen good results, but my suggestion to the "POWER SUPPLY OFFICIALS" is to be slightly more professional in this aspect, please publish in the newspapers,about the prescribed timings for powercuts FOR EACH AREAS, please don't give us surprises, just think about the dangerous situation,if women and children are stuck in a lift for hours while a SURPRISE POWER CUT is happened?

It has been noticed that many area people r using electricity unnecessarly u can see in shop supermarkets etc many bulbs r used we request that their should be limited numbers of bulbs AC in every were this should be the guide line to everyone in many areas we can seen old flat which were having four floor has been converted to 10/12 floor so the consumption is going up production is less so its govt of kuwait to take necessary step.
