The Kuwait Chamber Philharmonia

So remember how I was asking about Classical Music in Kuwait. Well read below:

"The Kuwait Chamber Philharmonia was formed in November 1992, by its two founders: Cezary Owerkowicz and Witold Wnuk. Their aim is to bring live classical music to a wider audience in Kuwait."

I was listening to the radio and it seems it's Polish week here in Kuwait. I heard them mention something about Chopin, and the next thing I know the guy I was asking info from, told me the Kuwait Chamber Philharmonia are the organizers, and this is what I found. I will check out about tickets, and I think I'm going to see the concert on Friday.

I'm Back!

Ram left a comment asking where I was. And I realized I have been gone for long. I'm not exactly sure I know why, It started with being a little busy after coming back from Eid, and it kinda just kept dragging. Then I started feeling like I needed something really intersting the post after having stopped posting for so long. But I guess I just wasn't successful in doing so. Could'nt feel like anything was intersting enough not that nothing was, I just think it was me more then anything. Could'nt get myself to get into it. Just been kinda going about everyday wondering what's gonna be next. Any case, I'm pushing myself again and I'm back. Get the routine going again will do me good. Nothing major happened since last time But moved to our new offices. I read Fonzy's post about going all the way to the 12th floor. Well I'm all the way on the 23rd floor :P. Maybe I'll get some pics of my view too.
