Photographic Memories

i was going through some old photos. and imagining what if i were there now. i am a different me now, so what if i walked into that pic. i decide it would be good fun, more of less. i guess certain ones i would rather avoid..
they say most things you do in life you do because you enjoyed it at some point in time. so there is no point complaining now. is there.
hmm.. leme see about these ten pics ..
1. A pic of about 10-11 guys gorgin on one f the inhouse gorging days at one of the 'bachelor' dens i stayed in Abu Dhabi: well, to start with there is KFC, pepsi, lots of alcohol. certain guys i dont mind drinking with, yeah, this one gets a pass; i would walk into it. i am sure i would get certain of those barbs i missed then, and yeah i can pass a few back
2. Burj-al-Arab in the back, beach, sunset.. in the view: i can remember me and Chirac were there. it was perhaps the first year in Dubai. First year since i left my home. 20 year old and rather over-awed by life. frustrated hormone driven. Hmm.. it was a beautiful time, every day was novel, colourful when seen in fast forwarded memories. yeah, i would definitely step in now, there is so much to do, to see.
3. Sister, Isaac (1) and Samuel (2): Rekha wants the perfect shot, and i am jobless. i think i was working in Dubai and had driven (taxied i.e) down to Abu Dhabi on an off day to see them. i loved the kids, when they were that age, i love them now. Cant wait to go and see them on 17th.
4. Outside Marina Mall: Primary Workplace.. Secondary Home, Social hangout, Kitchen. Must have spent awful amiounts of time there. no, i dont want to step in. Oh yeah, there was Sharon there. hmm. no, no thanks.
5. General Mall'ing with Rekha and Family: Couple of people in retail meant lots of interest in malls. Was lonely period too, in Abu Dhabi. I liked going with them then, am not sure i want to be in now. memories are nice though.
6. Us in some Club: Cant see who all are there. But, hmm. must have been fun. yeah, considering i am sitting alone in my room, on a saturday night.. sure thing
7. Desert Safari, sands all around,me in the front seat of a LandCruiser: sunny and fun. A Stomach churning drive through the desert, nice company. arabic belly dancing. Sand bikes. Aarabic Grilled chicken and daaru. Yeah babe, count me in!
8. Office Party in Copa Cabana: Well, so we achieved an amazing target and we get treated to dinner, and a T-Shirt. oh yeah, a MontBlanc watch. but there was so much kissing up to the CEO, and who feels comfortable when all the bosses are there. it was BORING. no.
9. Abu Dhabi Golf tournament: WoW, 4 days in at the Abu Dhabi Golf Club. the food, the drink and the 'SIGHTS'. Yes.
10. Pakistan India Final in Sharjah: INDIA WON! yes.
