Today I will talk about the area Abu Halifa where I stay. This area is the home of many expatriate’s like me. You will find lot of high apartment blocks but very few villas, where Kuwaiti’s stay, here. The area is quite big but is divided into two blocks by the main road. 90% of the residents of Block 1 are Indians where as 75% of the residents of Block 2 are Indians. The other residents are from Pakisthan, Egypt, Syria and few Kuwaiti's.
Both the areas has their own mosque, bakalas, restaurants, barber shop, garage etc. Abu Halifa area is self-sufficient with a government hospital, pharmacy's, doctor's chamber's, police station and petrol pump. Block 1 has a lovely playground for kids with lot of facilities where as Block 2 have a nice walking track. Before Mehr was born it was my daily routine to go for early morning walks with friends after Jeet leaves for office. It’s really refreshing to walk under the shaddy trees in the morning. But now though I plan it every day, it’s not just possible as Mehr keeps sleeping.
We are lucky to have a farm in Block 1 from where we can buy fresh vegetables and leaves. But the co-operative of Abu Halifa is in Block 2. Kuwait Magic Mall is the nearest mall and is hardly 10-12 minutes walking distance from the area.
