Few years
ago one Pakistani building contractor have told me Kuwait is the country where you
could collect money by sweeping. It doesn’t mean go for sweeping jobs. He meant
you could get money very easily. He repeated this statement again after few
years.
Oh yes now
I remember what he meant. One day I was in mangaf area of Kuwait and he came with a plan to
export machinery to Pakistan Sahiwal from where he originally come from. He
told me I have talked to one company in sahiwal and lets ring them. That day
his line didn’t connect and few days latter told me he has spoken to the
company and they are willing to import
few containers of machinery. I have asked him how about the payment? He said
they will pay after selling the machinery. Ok what about shipping? Who is going
to pay? Oh what a good idea he has given? I have to pay the shipping as well. I
just told him that I don’t want. He proudly told me that he have applied for uk
visa twice but refused. This statement actually heard from him many times but
this time it clicked more because someone was trying to rob me at the same time
and he came by chance uninvited. One of his friend just arrived back from Pakistan after visiting his family in Pakistan .
They are two brothers of pathan ancestory from Abottabad and living in Lahore . I went to meet him
in Hawally area of Kuwait .
As soon as I arrived he again came there. Anyway I have asked this pathaan guy
that don’t you have draws (cupboards)
for your
clothing because all clothes were hanging on hat stands. He said he is thinking
to go to sauq juma (Sunday market held on juma in Muslim countries). I have
told him I have two one three meter and other one meter wide. As soon as he
heard this he suddenly asked with similar to funny smile? is it as gift or with
money? I told him if you want as gift iam willing to give you as gift. Few day
leter he came to my flat to see these draws and I have told him that I have
lots of other household stuff if he is willing to buy. As he was going through
the stuff that Sahiwal guy rung him and told him he is coming to him. This call
made him bit worried about the deal. He said to me I will give you offer later.
This Sahiwal guy arrived and went through all stuff with him. He called his two
men with tool box to open the drawers. They dismantled the drawers and loaded
the stuff on the van. They put all the stuff in the van and left drawers and
few bits and told me they will collect this next day. Next day they came and
collect few things like thieves and left the drawers. this guy rung me told me
the situation of the stuff and in other words
the whole
stuff which was more than big van load has no value at all. It was big shock
and I was almost speechless and I told that you came for drawers and took
everything and left drawers. He said oh yes he was in need of drawers and they
left these drawers there. I told him ok send them again and he said they had
problem with police while they were coming. Next time his statement was had accident. I went to his work place
although he arrived an hour later and went through all stuff like computer is
slow problem with tv and other words everything is shit. If someone bother to
ask this type of shit ass hollers if
everything was shit then why you have bothered to bring it and left your
desired cupboards. Anyway he has business in area of Amgra. While I was waiting
for him one of his employee of Indian origin was sitting there and watching
television. He started by asking about immigration rules in Kuwait . He told me he is living in Kuwait
without any visa since years. I asked him how you could live without visa? He
told me no body comes here for checking and hundreds and thousands people
working in amgra are without visas. They work eat and sleep here. Most of the
illegal workers from amgra hardly go out of their work place. So they don’t
need to worry about anything like visas. He has told me many companies even
have no trading licences. According to him many agricultural farm workers
in Abdaly and Wafra have no visas and
employed by the companies at lower wages and kept in appalling living
conditions.
