bearded perception

lately i've been too tired to do anything (or in other words just lazy) to the point that i didnt feel like shaving my beard...so i just let it grow n grow..but now that i've started back on my routine i decided to let the beard stay for a while longer.

i have to admit that having a beard has somewhat changed the way people act around me..for instance when in the gym the other guys actually ASK if am using the machine instead of just cutting in...also, a number of older men who usually dont look at me actually come up to me and say "salam 3alaikom" and some actually start small talk...so i have to ask, is it just me or do people in general give more respect to a man with a beard??

another situation i was put in happened today...am taking an advanced week long coarse in my field, this workshop starts from 5-8:30 or for those who dont know starts before 9alat el magharb and ends after 9alat el 3isha..so if anyone doesnt want to miss el magharb we had to pray over there..so we go into the designated prayer room and there we were 10 or 11 guys mostly twice my age standing there and one of the guys starts to eqeem el 9alaat..when he was done we all stood there, i was looking for the person who was gonna be the emaam when all of the sudden the guy on my right and the guy on my left simultaneously grab my hand and push me forward and say "yala 9al feena"!!!!!

i was like

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" "MINOOOOOOO" "ANAAAAA"

so there i was standing in the middle and everyone was standing in a straight line looking at me, so i turn around and slowly walk up to the emaams sijada (heart racing) mino egoool matiwahagt! so i look back and try to remember what emaams do, so i stand and say loudly "ESTAWOOOO W'ESTAQEEEMOOO" loooool...

so kabart and i started praying and everyonce in a while i peek behind just to make sure these guys are actually following me :P la ohwa 3gaaal ma6aaaa7, ehya qitra mazligaat lol

anyways, i guess responsibility comes with the beard ;p

there was an interesting discussion between a couple of friends of mine about the state of health care in kuwait. one of the guys was complaining about how bad the public hospitals were and how incompetent they're getting. another guy (who happens to be a surgeon) agreed that overall the situation was not so good, but mentioned that the public governmental hospitals were still much better then the private ones. i know, a few people were surprised to hear that but he continued on saying that medically, the public ones were much better. the private hospitals, among many other reasons, dont really have to answer to anyone and that their main aim was, after all, making a profit. his example of why this was true was that almost all private hospitals in kuwait refer all their high risk and very complicated cases to government hospitals, cuz they are not capable of dealing with them.


at the end it made a lot of sense, especially since it came from someone who knows what he's talking about. is it true? i dont know but if we think of it, where does most of the effort in private hospitals go? is it in providing the best health care or providing the most comfortable and luxurious hospital stay? is it true that there is a 7,000 KD per night room at the new 7ayat hospital? last but not least, would you rather, alah laygoola, when facing life and death, would you rather be in a hospital where their main concern and responsibility to the government was to get you back on your feet or would you rather have designer sheets and a coffee shop in the lobby?

on a side note, i just got a msg saying that those 4 poor bangali's DO have bird flu! alah yaster

been feeling very very blank lately...

10 weird things or habits or little known facts about myself

1) whenever i see a live cockroach i scream!
