#EXPATSTORIES: "i came here in kuwait a couple of years ago because of my brother who used to work in the same company where i am working now. it's amazing that all of us came from the same place (in india). i previously worked in dubai, here, i'm so lucky i have a good employer. when we cater perfume services outside, like weddings and parties, we are getting extra dinars at the end of the day." -- ali, 32, (perfumer) | #indianexpat . ā talking with ali, i see the comfort in his eyes how happy he is as an expat. the extra dinars he's getting when they have services outside their stores and branches gives him extra chill at the end of the day. ali, is one of the luckiest indian expats in kuwait, i must say. . ā kuwait is largely occupied by indian expats having the highest population of around 800, 000 as per record of kuwait recent demographics. 280, 000 are deployed in domestic works like gardeners, family drivers, cleaners and house helps. . ā many have settled in corporate jobs mostly in engineering, teaching, sales and marketing. . ā working as an expat is never easy. we have to deal with everything in all cost just to survive. wherever we are from, race, color, or type of job we are into, it doesn't matter as long as we are breathing and we are treated as human, we are happy. . ā at the end of the day, what matters most is the reason why we are here in this foreign country. we are lucky, and we should be happy -- and be thankful! alhamdulillah ššš . ā” until my next post, jon | š #kuwaitcity #expatsinkuwait #indian #kuwaitindian #hindi #kuwaitperfumes #jonathanacabo #expatnarratives #likeforlike #storyteller #jonpagereflections #expatdiaries #photography #portrait #photooftheday (at Jumeirah Messilah Beach Hotel & Spa)
