what do people generally do, in a dull/still place like doha, after office hours?
what do people generally do, in a still/dull place liek doha, after office hours? I wonder often.
People with families, will have their daily chores of managing a house and its members - but what do Bachelors/spinsters do here in doha?
I tried liasing wiht people, try to have some get togethers - but people seem to be in some mad-rush for shopping in doha! doha is filled with shopping malls and food outlets. and yes, they are multiplying even more, on our own expenses, ultimately of course.
There is no space/time given for any personal /intellectual discussions, meetings nothing.
and .....most people, tend to mind their own businesses.
would someone advice? Neither do i smoke or drink. These 2 factors are magnets for social gatherings, and because im deficient in these habits, I again keep wondering.....

You are right that most of the bachelors are busy in their own activities. It was not like that earlier as now a days it is difficult to get a parking in any part of Doha due to increased number of cars. Most of the bachelors are running from their offices to their accommodation thinking of finding a good parking which is scarce now a days. They will not go out as they will loose the parking they got.
What sort of discussion you are interested to participate? Social, Religious, political, academical or sports? There are still lots of bachelors who are interested in get togethers and other social activities. As you are from India you may try to join some groups who are active in many matters. Even in QL you will find a lot of groups. Join one of them or you may go to ICC (Indian Cultural Centre) and take a membership and they have plenty of activities which you will be interested.

The problems you are facing are quite common here for bachelors. Just be a regular on Qatar Living...engage yourself in discussions of your choice with people...there is a "QL Social Group" and they arrange get togethers on regular basis. Apart from that...you can join different groups of your interest like QL Volunteer Group or Sports Groups etc. That would help you in socializing....Hope it helps :-)
