That was truly amazing. Thank God you had subtitles, so I could know what he was saying. Great subject, great interview and great editing. It was humane and compassionate and also terribly funny.

The word-by-word translation for the ear cutting part goes like this: "once i cut someones ear, a little bit... (laughs)yes,from here itself... but he was one of my good customers, he reacted in a good way"

As usual... awesome video....as Ahmed said i wonder why you did participate for uniquely Qatar competition…. or did I miss your entry?

Novi I did notice that...he was smiling when he said that... I guess it was a small cut...lol still I appreciate his honesty to say that... It happened once to my lil boy...had a small cut on his ears..when I was angry with hair cutter...he said "not my fault madam..the boy turned his head"..lol

Really Nice, but I liked the tailoring shop the most.

Awesome video sir. You should have entered something like this for the Uniquely Qatar competition we did earlier in the year. You would've been a shoe in for the grand prize.
