Almost after 2 full years, middle east countries have loosened their covid travel requirements making it smooth for people traveling.
The news about the cancellation of PCR upon arrival to Kuwait took me back to my arrival 3 months ago.

Some random happenings, similar to getting the very first drop of the summer rain on your cheeks, give you a kind of pleasure, which is quite tough to explain just like the way it is.
I was gifted by one of such during my journey.
Traveling was nothing less than a mess during that time as I had to carry so many documents together with several apps that were required to enter inside the country.
Upon landing everyone hurriedly searched for Wi-Fi connections to log into the apps to swiftly move away from immigration queues and to reach the baggage counter before the rush.
While waiting in the queue I could see some girls just a few meters away from me, anxiously looking at all the boards, not knowing how to get away with the formalities. I guessed they might be nurses or some medical staff, traveling to Kuwait for the first time just like me.
If I was somewhere near, I could have told them that this was the queue they should follow. It was when I immersed myself in these thoughts, a middle-aged man who stood right in front of me in the queue went out seeing the confused girls. He walked towards them and offered guidance on the steps they should follow to complete the procedures, and came again to occupy the last place in the queue.

Out of curiosity, I couldn’t take my eyes away.
Yes, some people remind us of guardian angels.
