!!!!!!!!Mango Festival in Kuwait: Just Another VIP Show-Off?
Today, there was a mango festival at Avenues in Kuwait, supposedly a great step from the embassy. I didn’t bother attending because I knew they would only cater to VIPs, leaving normal people unable to see the festival properly, let alone get in the door. And that’s exactly what happened.
I heard from many people that it was a disaster. If one person had complained, I might have dismissed it, but the majority said it was badly managed. Only VIPs could enter, and honestly, I’m not surprised. I’ve been part of these communities and know that only VIPs are given respect. These people are rude and self-serving. Every so-called leader is the same, focusing only on their own show and not allowing new people to join, advance, or be promoted. It’s a mystery how anything functions.
I’ve experienced this firsthand. I am a recognized sports Side founder in Pakistan at the ground level, but in Kuwait, where I live, I am nobody to those who know me.
Anyway, back to the mango festival. If you organized the event for the public, then it should have been for the public. You could have sent mangoes to the VIPs' homes if you wanted to please them. The embassy, too, seems to be all about the show.
I hope the embassy and the so-called responsible members of the Pakistani community learn something from this mess and stop seeking fame.
