Just read it at Reuters. Dubai police throws a direct comment on the vested interest of United States in the Blackberry services in the middle east.

Concerns over Israeli access to BlackBerry data, and the use of the device by the United States to spy on the United Arab Emirates are behind the Gulf state's moves to curb the smartphone, Dubai's police chief said.

"The Unites States is the primary beneficiary of having no controls over the BlackBerry, as it has an interest to spy on the UAE," Dhahi Khalfan Tamim said in remarks carried by the website of the daily al-Khaleej on Friday.

A must see wonderful youtube video.

Lulu Hypermarket claims that they offer shopping experiance. It is true to some extent and many of us prefer to do the shopping at Lulu.

Yesterday I have been to Lulu for buying some things at Lulu Hypermarket in Alrai near Shuwaikh. I am writing this post to explain my experiance in getting the grated coconut at the Lulu HyperMarket

Dear Member of the Indian Community in Kuwait,



Following the India Tourism road show held in Kuwait in October 2009, the Embassy co-hosted a week-long “Festival of India in Kuwait” in November 2009. Working Groups on Hydrocarbons (December 2009) and Labour, Employment and Manpower Development (January 2010) were convened in Kuwait as preparation for the Joint Ministerial Commission for Trade, Economic, Scientific and Technological Cooperation to meet in Kuwait later this year. The stand-alone visit to Kuwait from 3-4 February 2010 by External Affairs Minister HE S.M. Krishna, was the Minister’s first visit to the Gulf since taking charge of External Affairs. His meetings with HH the Amir, HH the Prime Minister, HE the Deputy PM & Foreign Minister, and others reaffirmed our close and friendly ties. An Indian Food Festival was hosted at the landmark Kuwait Towers from April 1-7, 2010. After sending four Kuwaiti newspaper journalists to India last year, we sent six more journalists to India in May 2010, leading to enhanced coverage of tourist destinations in Kerala, Goa, etc. Tourism to India was promoted at the Travel World Expo 2010 in Kuwait from May 19-22, 2010.  



This letter focuses on consular/welfare issues and reiterates some of the points contained in my letters of May 26, 2009, and October 14, 2009, since we continue to receive queries about them.
