daggers and swords were found in his
suitcases. (Rai)
Student wanted for murder threat
Search is on for a high school student
accused of murder threat charges pressed
by a Sulaibiya high school principal. The
suspect reportedly headed to the principal’s
office Wednesday afternoon to
inquire about the school’s decision to
expel him. The principal had taken the
decision due to the student’s low performance,
bad behavior and repeated absence.
The teenager reportedly showered the
principal with verbal assault and attempted
to attack him, and then escaped after
threatening him with murder. Police first
headed to the student’s house as registered
in the school’s records, but found
out that he had given a false address.
Investigations are ongoing. (Anba)
Ex-convict arrested
An ex-convict was arrested recently
for drug trafficking, which he reportedly
returned to after serving time in jail on
similar charges. The Kuwaiti man was
arrested in Al-Nugra after being lured to
a trap in which he sold 3 grams of heroin
to an undercover agent. The set up was
planned based on information that
police received indicating that the suspect
resumed drug trafficking shortly
after being released from the Central Jail
where he spent six years. More amounts
of heroin as well as hashish and drug
pills were found in the suspect’s house.

attacked by two people who stormed
the apartment and then escaped after
closing the door from the outside.
However, investigations revealed that
the door was actually locked from the
inside while a second key was placed on
the door lock from the outside. The man
eventually confessed of faking the case
and that he had actually attempted suicide
after officials at his company
accused him of stealing KD 75,000.

Child molester in custody
A child molester was arrested in
Maidan Hawally after harassing a 12-
year-old girl in an apartments building.

Kuwaiti child to the elevator and tried to
take advantage of her, which triggered

the building’s keeper. The Palestinian
man tried to escape after punching the
Egyptian keeper in the face, but a number
of people present at the time caught
him. Police were soon present at the
scene and placed the suspect under
arrest. (Rai)
Spiritual counselor Dr Nuna
heals the world her ways
By Sunil Cherian
When a 10th grader from Indian Community
School, Amman branch asked Dr Sneh Lata
Goel, affectionately known as Dr Nuna, during
an interview conducted as part of a student assignment
about her opinion on teenagers having boyfriends or
girlfriends, she took a wise stance.
Her response was simple to follow but complex for
many. She wanted all kids to have an open, communicative
and straightforward relationship with parents.
Images of interlocking triangles
She did not argue for a strong yes or no to the boy’s
clever question. But more cleverly, she knew if a child
shares everything that goes on in his/her daily life,
things would fall naturally and normally in their respective
places without clash or conflict. “I’m only being scientific
here”, Dr Nuna, a PhD holder in spirituality and
spiritual counseling from Corllins University, US said.
When this reporter met Dr Nuna at her beautiful and
sprawling 3-storey residence in Mangaf, she surprised
me with thousands of Sri Chakras - images of interlocking
triangles - the house adorns. Her house seemed to
generate energy emanating from creative visualizations.
Her hand-drawn paintings and drawings speak
volumes of positive energies. No wonder folks of all
walks are friends to Dr Nuna - some people call her aunty
- and the experienced say they go back filled with
energies, shedding all negative toxins from the mind as
if they had a refreshing mind-spa session.
Sri Chakra - the happiness generating image - is an
instrument formed by nine interlocking triangles that
surround and radiate out from the central point, the
junction point between the physical universe and its
un-manifest source. A geometric-design emblem or
instrument of contemplation and its effect in life is
what Dr Nuna is passionately striving to spread. She has
been in Kuwait since 1974 and now lives with her son
after her husband Viswapal Goel died last year. Most
people take home the images Dr Nuna has made and
place them at their workplace or home as per Dr Nuna’s
instructions.
“The instrument of happiness influences our
thoughts and imagination positively. They help the
individual marshal the resources necessary to accomplish
what is desired. A design for meditation is a therapeutic
tool in modern psychotherapies. An image helps
the common folks to establish a harmony that facilitates
opportunities and lucky breaks. Some people call
it miracle. For me it’s real”, Dr Nuna said.
It is miraculous when thinking of Dr Nuna’s ways of
handling common people who approach her with common
problems. She educates, entertains and enlightens
Dr Sneh Lata Goel
them through visuals and words sweetened in truth
and reality. “There is no problem alive and active in
nature”, she said.
“We create problems and our ego is the main culprit”.
When I asked her to tell me a ‘case’ from her
many years-long counseling experiences, she told me
the story of a divorced lady doctor whose desperate
husband approached Dr Nuna. “After extracting some
hints from the husband, I went to the doctor posing as
a patient. While diagnosing I surprised her with the
information I had about her life. She instantly gave in
and was able to shed her problems with her tears”, Dr
Nuna said. As she is talking, quips, quotes and anecdotes
flow like the Ganga in monsoon. Here is one:
Sunlight is everywhere. It is up to you to open the window.
What advice is she keeping to herself while counseling
people? “Catch the bird tight, it will die; catch it
loose, it will fly; catch with care”.
