Tides
Again, I've been absent from my blog and yours because of another tidal wave, but this time it’s not about my new job or project, it is about all of us.
It started in 1999 when our late Emir (God rest his soul) presented our Parliament with a decree to grant women their political rights. The tide extended to May 17th 2005, when we finally were allowed our rights by the members of Parliament (endless appreciation to those who supported women from the beginning http://alharoun.blogspot.com/).
And when we thought we were at the height of the tide when finally we saw ourselves as Kuwaitis united to fight corruption; the tide was raised further by unimaginable heights by the dissolution of Parliament.
And here I am swimming in the wave, and like all of us, and like our beloved Kuwait, we will survive.
