In Australia the day of karangaavu is celebrated with Kangaroos. Everyone hoping in two legs. They are surely very strange inmates...

@khattak, I'm glad we've shocked you there.

@shahin, it's Garangao :)

@brit, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and Emirates celebrate it. Saudi doesn't.

ha ha

well someday with more research.

I remember that at one school I worked at we all had training in order to administer an injection type of device to counter emergency anaphylactic shock in a pupil that had severe a nut allergy.

It can kill by swelling the airway!

were given. Satan - 10."

diamond..

Not every child will die when given honey. It's very rare but remains too risky to try.

yes, that's common among doctors to say that. I've given pure yemeni honey to my children since they were but a few months old.

------------------------------------

Adey..

That's not helping..so we'll never know :)

PITSTOP..

Honey too can contain a kind of bacteria that could be too dangerous for a baby under 1 year of age.

Yes Pitstop, that's similar to what some do in my family. I forgot about the honey. I personally feel that exposing babies to nuts at an early age will prevent allergies. -------------------------------------

and

"However, new evidence suggests that this may not be the case and it may be necessary to expose babies to possible food allergens so they don't become sensitised to them."

As i said, the advice is conflicted.

"Deaths in the Bible. God - 2,270,365

My mother prepares nut paste of mixed nuts with honey. On a daily basis she feedsa tiny bit to the baby after a few months. None of us have allergy and none of the grandkids as well.

Adey: "There is some evidence that children who are given nuts early on in their diet may become sensitised."

That's why nutritionists advise moms to delay their children's intake of nuts until after the age of seven.

It seems no one knows, two completely contradictory evidences have been concluded so far.

"The number of people in the UK who may be allergic to nuts is increasing. Research from 2002 shows that one in 70 children is allergic to peanuts, compared to one in 200 ten years before. More recently, a report was published suggesting a quarter of a million children (one in 50) in the UK are allergic to nuts."

"The exact reasons why some people are allergic to nuts aren't fully understood at present. There is some evidence that children who are given nuts early on in their diet may become sensitised. This may also happen before the baby is born while he/she is still in the womb. It's possible that a child may develop a nut allergy after birth if his/her mother eats nuts while she is breastfeeding. However, new evidence suggests that this may not be the case and it may be necessary to expose babies to possible food allergens so they don't become sensitised to them."

I guess there may be the odd case here and there but it's very uncommon.

-------------------------------------

I never heard of this nut Allergy before! I am allergic to so many things, but but even I was not aware that nut could be an allergen.

The most common allergens are

Cobwebs

Old and unused Books/bookshelves

Cotton from unused quilts/pillows and old Linen

eggplant

prawns/lobsters

pollen during the dry winter months.

and lots of other substances

Alexa & diamond..

Yes there are children who are allergic to nuts especially peanuts and it could be fatal but it's very rare. I know one Qatari woman who has children hypersensitive to peanuts.

I hate "nuts" too,, but for a diff. reason ofcourse.

Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference - Mark Twain

I don't necessarily mean they chew and swallow nuts but ground/chopped nuts are in a lot of dishes in this part of the world.

-------------------------------------

I'm not allergic to my own nuts.

Maybe, because I'm a mutant nut head...

Are you Nuts?

Alexa, re nut allergies...I think this is more of a 'western' thing...we give our children nuts from a very early age which would make most docs in the west shudder. However, nut allergies are unheard of in our children.

Are Qataris allergic to nuts?

QatariLady, tfa2ili bil5air dear. Life is too short and its their day to celebrate and have fun.

~*Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret*~

Yeah SugarQtr min 9ijji :)

Children do have fun and they look cute in the traditional outfits, but I get irritated worrying that someone might choke on something fe'zza7mah!

edifis, you're not funny.

VIP should be = Cylinder.I.B.

How do you pronounce VIP in Qatari?

The children love Garangao and have a great time...it's a lovely family event at our house and a chance to invite others to join in the fun.

-------------------------------------

QatariLady, min 9ijich 'I find it meaningless and annoying with small children exposed to too much nuts.' Please tell me titghashmrain? Garanga3ouh is fun for kids and who ever really eats all the candy and nuts that are given to them? I'm in shock walla.

~*Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret*~

only it's for christians celebrating saint Barbara day on 4th of december. it's the lebanese halloween. the kids disguise and wander door to door singing and performing little 2 min acts in each house.

Oh, people can come up with statistics to prove anything, Kent. 14% of people know that.

White I already out of your God forsaken country. It's just that I feel sorry for those who don't have choices like me. And Qataris like you take maximum advantage of the situation and use this punchline....why don't you laeve ? No doubt there are sites like Qatarsucks.com. I don't blame them. There are a handful exceptions, but few angels cannot make heaven out of hell created by likes of White.

Salmamohd: how many chocklates u got?

Ohh Finally it is gone....My Sons were so excited for it & had got some bags packed as neighbors kiddos had to come!!

Its a lovely day for kids to enjoy as they get choc's & give Choc's:)

Some people are just ignorant and jealous(i.e. You). Sun get a life, you don't like Qatar pack you bags and get yourself out of here.

Sun.. I've seen cases where it was the non-Qatari representative of the Qatari that was a blood-sucker.

check with some of the mallus on site, they are well informed as to how to take out a slang for any word :)

My apologies guys, do not wish to spoil a pleasant thread. I am outta here.

from where did u get this word "karangaavu" :S

there starts another hijacking attempt.

I think shahin hass tried to put a Malayalam slang on the word.

White you are little presumptuous in thinking that people enjoy the company of you fakes.But definitely if there are such genuine rich Qataris, how come I never spotted one in my 2 years stay. All the Qs whom I met must be real tramps by your standard of comparision.Or is it that all your oil can not wash away your greed and narrow mindedness.

You might want to open YOUR eyes a bit wider and see more than just the rich Qataris. The rich Qataris are like all the rich people around the world. But if you know real Qataris you wouldn't slander them like you are now. And if you don't like the people or the country why not go back to india where there's lots of "heart"?

bleu, what do you call your girl friend if her name is Veronika? 8 boobies?

Whitefeather, nobody has to spread a fact, you just have to open your eyes and see it.If you prefer ostrichitis (as is typical of Qataris) please yourself.

sun26872: u hv false info abt qataris. day r gud

Yeah and india is a country full of heart yeah? Qatar has more heart than most countries like many muslim countries unlike your Kafir countries no please don't spread this falsehood.

Bleu don't we all love money.But my love for money is different from Qatari love for money.I work hard for money and Qatari try to suck other people's blood for money. There is hell of a difference.

significance in the tradition in Islam, or is merely a social custom of the Gulf? Not a trick question I am truly interested.

bleu: letz create one

dw, there are no wikipedia matches for that word.

QL, sun is one of the Qatari-haters, they only love our money.

Heartlessness, sun?? OMG! You sure have issues!

Despite of heartlessness of this country, they sure do love their kids. And yes there is nothing like carefree childhood.

karangaavu... look in wikiepeida britexpat

It's in Qatar, Kuwait and UAE..Not in Saudi and I'm not sure about Bahrain and Oman.

I find it meaningless and annoying with small children exposed to too much nuts.

MD, A V8 in Arabic is "ثمانية سلندر", which is as the rain says "eight cylinder"...

Is this peculiar to Qatar ? Never heard of it in Saudi..

How do you know? You are not Qatari!

8 cylinder engine

How do you describe your V-8 engine, bleu?

karangaavu????????????????

You have a funny pronunciation of Garangaoh.

p.s. The letter V does not exist in Arabic.

What's your point KHATTAK?

nice pic but they should give nice n high quality sweets likee galaxy

....hard to believe that they can celebrate something....but anyway....it seems interesting.
