I t was NOT just a show. Beware of the blasphemy on your part if you think otherwise. It took Jack Bauer (a.k.a Keifer Sutherland in real world) just one day to capture the imagination of the world. And he shared 7 more days from his life with us mortals. And the journey has been nothing but spectacular. In this world, where species have a dormant dream to be badass, 24 and Jack Bauer have been nothing short of a revitalising drug. You don't often get to see your wildest dream take an almost tangible form on the small screen and, I can smell it, add spice to our mundane lives.  Real time storytelling,  ..the end justifies the means ideology,  ..the head-on raw approach towards terrorism,  ..Jack's colour-blindness (If there are lives to be saved, everything else goes out of the window),  ..torture redefining (yes, the taboo word has been portrayed countless times, often taking it to the next level), ..recognizing the necessity to kill (Only Jack has made through from th...

OFFICE PARTIES ARE SO OVER-RATED. Oh wait, they are not. The one which I went to yesterday, couldn't have been lamer. Everything that I have seen about them in movies or read in books is true. A rocking party is like a 4 wheeler, you get stuck even if one of the wheels is missing. Hot Babes should be invited. Booze. Good Food. Great Music. Shockingly, organizers managed to goof up on all the 4 fronts. You don't find too many chicks on a construction site, so they should have fuckin' invited people from the head office. Or atleast provided us with booze so as to make us not fret too much about how thy party sucked. "You don't eat meat? How the hell do you get the proteins into your system?"  WTF(*^#@)(*$^$)@_!@%! Come On you asshole, lot of people are vegans and they fuckin' will go on to live longer that you. And btw, even the salads were confusing. And please someone shoot that guy who selected the music. Seems like Arabic Music has only one scale on ...

Some things are inseparable. Like EXTRAVAGANT SPENDING and the ARAB WORLD . So I shouldn't have been as surprised as I was when I walked into the mock-up flats done for my current project. Quite evidently, the good part of 21 years that I have lived in India has left a lasting impression, and rightly so. Lavish, Flamboyant and Flashy interiors with vibrant colors just caught me off guard. The only thing wrong about the whole affair was the intention of the client to lure prospective buyers with such lavish spendings, where a spoon cost 2k INR and a carpet cost 20-25k, when the very well know, no normal residence will be decorated even remotely close to what was on display. All said, you have to show off the POTENTIAL of the space, So...:) Catch the pics here Until next time. Ciao. P.S. Oh almost forgot. MIDMAC is throwing in a dinner party tonight at Inter Continental Hotel, Doha for all the hard work. Expecting big things. Posted via email from Strange Ramblings !!
