Warnings for Qatari's

Every country/region seems to have some problems totally unique to them. It seems that Qatari's aren't free from these sui generis problems and signs to warn against them. This was seen at the biggest mall in Doha (City Center Mall @ Doha, Qatar) and if it really is the biggest in Doha, then it definitely is the biggest in Qatar itself. I can't even begin to imagine the need for such a warning, but I guess Qatari's must be getting into brawls and shout-outs over who gets to sit on the kerb and litter!

Of delays and emergencies and Benazir

I got to the airport earlier than I usually do, since I anticipated some delays because of the imposition of 'emergency' in Pakistan by the self imposed 'President' of Pakistan - Musharraf. Everything went smoothly as far as check-in and immigration was concerned, but little did I realise that my plane would be delayed several hours. All because Benazir Bhutto happened to be flying from Dubai to Karachi on the very same plane that was to take me and my wife the other way round.

It was exciting to be witness to something dramatic. Something that would be newsworthy, a clash of people's party chairman with immigration officials (I didn't expect Musharraf would have the balls to let her back into the country) and so we waited with camera settings ready - ready to become part of history.

When the plane finally did land, it was all just a blur. And believe me, in those blurry streaks of light you see, there really is Benazir Bhutto swiftly ushered into the airport so as to avoid unnecessary delays and drama. Disappointed that the hours of waiting yielded no excitement, we turned our focus to the trip to Doha via Dubai and it seemed even less exciting!

With or White?

I still haven't figured what this label intends to say! Does the cheese come 'with' cumin or is it 'white' cumin?

Incoveneance

This is a notice placed by CAA (the Civil Aviation Authority - the body that regulates all airlines, airline traffic and maintains all the airports). This is the sign they place in the 'international' departures area. It is so embarassing to know that we can't even get spellings right! How hard can it be to do a spell check in word? Yet we fail to do that!

CAA should be sorry!

I Scored Last Night

Now this guy really has to have scored after ages to be so proud of his achievement that he simply had to have it plastered onto his car!

No details have been blurred out so that everyone can see who it really is!
