Gulf Jobs used to be very lucrative. There was a time, when people in India, loves to travel down Middle East looking for high paying jobs. From technical to labour they all want a job in Gulf yo fulfill their wishes. The main destination used to be Muscat, Oman and by far Kuwait as well. The Oil rich countries have their arms open to see Indian manforces coming down in their countries and jostling day and night for earning a livlihood.
Finding an Old currency inside a Diary reminded me all those story. It seems to be a treasured one as it has imprint of Saddam Hussain, tge dictator and the rural of Iraq.
The current net worth 100 Dinar is Rs. 24732/- means 240 numbers of 100 Rupee Indian currency. The value is much more considering this 100 Dinar can get me a semi average Laptop or something more precious or may be some quantity of Bitcoin. The other side of this note is showing a fine imprint of a Mosque I belive.
Seeing a known face after so long, reminded me of all the stories related with Saddam Hussain. His style his kingdom and lastly the way he ran for his life and how he killed. Looking at the currency, no one could ever imagine, that he will meet such fate.
Well dressed, good looking, royal, charming and above all the one who ruled Iraq and Kuwait so long. The fine imprint of the currency note shows his authority and ruling power in his country.
Though I had this currency as a gift from my Dad friend, it was torned from middle and I preserve it using a celotape. Glad , so successfully manage to keep it in good condition. Enough to remind us of a gone cruel history.
