26th July 2009
The day I embarked upon my professional journey. The day I set foot upon unchartered territory. Feelings and emotions overwhelming my psyche. Feelings like anxiety, excitement, fear, awe and the feeling that everything around you is getting bigger.
Forget the dates. I will do well enough to remember any more from here on. This on was quite easy to remember though. Those asses sent me to work the very next day of landing.
Al Sadd Development Complex, as it is called. Picture pe na jaao, apni akal lagaoo. There are 5 more buildings behind and on sides which aren't visible. People told me that I was lucky to start off at such a versatile project. Hotel, Residences, Offices, Recreational Area. I guess I was.
Sometime during Eid last year. There was this trip to the desert. Scorching Heat, I tell you. Forget the sun, there is this period of time when even if you stand for like 10 mins in shade, you'd be drenched in sweat. One thing that I'll surely not miss.

The much needed India trip. Exactly what the doctor ordered. It would have been near impossible if somehow had to stay here 1 year on the trot. I returned REVITALIZED if I may add.

Drag Racing. Awesum fun, and this pic very well tells the story. The front tires are so in the air. And its fucking really very difficult to take snaps or make a video with all that engine noise. Blew me mind away.
Times In Between
Exploring Doha. Working. Meeting new people. Bald look. Bands. Cars. Ice Hockey. Carnivals. Swords. Fifa WC 2010.et al. Following will be a few select pics in and around the place and my work site. The past one year has been good, lots of new experiences, lots of new friends, and maybe I can even call myself a Mechanical Engineer in public now, I know some stuff :D
And just before I leave. The Site. When I came to it first and when I am leaving it. Not that I'd alone but I contributed :) Cya from India. Harry.
