ruckus in corniche
this friday when we went to corniche there were trails of cars waving some checkered flags and driving at crazy speeds and creating lot of problem to people by stopping the cars in between the roads and hopping in to other car. Does anyone no what all this ruckus was all about. The traffic police really had a tough time controlling all this.
Shreeya - think this way:
- Relaxing on public property? Is it normal?
- Disrupting traffic by stopping cars on the road, speeding etc. for relaxing. Is it sane?
- You compared drink, dine & date with road rage....the difference is clear between privately celebrating or showing off publicly?
Watch this video....another kind of 'relaxing'
Maybe future of Qatar? lol!
But Siddh, they normally do it only once a week and that too on late Friday nights is what I have observed. Is there any harm in it? The traffic moves more slowly for say 10-15 mins but come on, it is not office time.
Rather than a 'vulgar display of wealth' I feel it is their way of relaxing on a weekend. As long as they don't harm anybody I feel its o.k. They are just having a nice time.
Well, I wish to join the convoy sometime just for fun...:)
Everything gonna be alright!!!
Mom_me...no you aren't old at all, still you have the spirit....lol!
My opinion was to critic something which obstructs civic life. Venting out enthusiasm by slowing down traffic is not at all civilsed, what do you say?
Guys am lookin 4 a contact in qatar foundation 2help get ajob who knows anyone plz
Common guys.. Think it this way.. Put yourself in their shoes..I bet, You'd do the same.
Probably they don't really have any other way of having fun. They don't fly kites like we did, they don't play games like we did..
So let them play with what they have.. Money..

Comm'on they are passionate about football. They are young with raging hormones and want to express their feelings for something they feel for. Hah !!! I would be with drums cheering for my college cricket team with a hoarse throat in my youthful days. (not that I am old...)
wedding procession in India is something with reason and has a specific route (short distance generally), but what is the reason for these???
just read someone supporting this type of 'vulgar display of wealth'...wow! what supporters!
I was at corniche too. My friends waved and shouted 'Mabrook' and they waved back.
Nothing in comparison to a wedding procession in India though, bands and groom on the horse and.....
yah they are Qatari so what is your problem they are celibrating they dont disturb other country so pls. live them alone they are in their own country.
It is their way of celebrating the weekend or some even like football etc. and I absolutley don't find anything wrong with it. Usually there is a huge trail of vehicles honking and blinking musically And the timing they choose is always after 11.30 pm. So, it is certainly not a office timing. And if they encounter an ambulance they give it a way , I have observed it personally. Even once our own car was clinched among them somewhere near Mall R/A and they stayed behind us and gave us a way.
There are different ways people celebrate their weekends, some drink, dine and date. What is wrong if some people chose driving as their way to enjoy?
Everything gonna be alright!!!
I like it when Qatar win the football, it makes me feel part of a proud country. That said, I don't live in Doha and it's a bit different to have a few people roaring round Dukhan waving flags and hooting. If I was on the Corniche at that time it would have probably been different. I have had to wait before on the fast road to Shahhania as 2 cars have blocked the road to have a chat!
Actually there celebration reminds me of biker gangs in US. And when you see them you do the exact same two things no matter where you are. 1) Ignore them, 2) Back in your mind you say.....Idiots
I think its better to either change ur path or just stay at home if their is bigger party for big occassion like GULF CUP or WORLD CUP QUALIFIYING MATCHES etc

for the last 28 years, i just didn't understand what kind of celeberation way is this by creating so much trouble for other commuters & police. They will shout like animals, make loud engine noises, burn their tyres. They don't realize that may be there might be a patient behind them who needs medical attention or has somekind of pain in his ears by hearing loud voices etc.
.
Sadly speaking [no offense], they are QATARI youths mostly
.
I wonder whether they give any alms or donations in the name of ALLAH if they get any happiness or victory in their failed but at the same time very popular game FOOTBALL.
.
They just proof themselves as one of the most IGNORANT people on earth as they just don't care for others.
