The details of Mauj meeting no. 1 for 2009

We discussed how recently the government has allowed privatization of government assets such as telecommunications, television, etc.Buyers have been interested mainly due to the revenue these assets can generate through marketing and advertising.

In a scenario of failed infrastructures how are people managing...in the aspects of security, education (welfare), govt/pvt. health

e.g

Gulbahao_ mobile toilet, was-tic blocks, Chandi ghar, and the latest Choora Chara

What a joke! when we reached Manzar Akbar Hall at the Arts Council today to check our wateen we found that there was construction going on over there!!

luckily the director was walking down the stairs that very moment I ran after him and asked what is going on we have an event tommorow?

they said they forgot about it and then tried to suggest another place for us
Now the discussion will be under the main auditorium in the theatre workshop, it was a real task getting wateen signals (there are none) under ground, so now we are hooking it up outside the auditorium and will take a cable or Amars wifi inside the basement to have our internet working for the skype part of our discussion with Rob Kranenburg

we need boards and ushers to redirect our guests!!
they need to refund half our money as they basement is cheaper than the hall we had booked

Cheers and hope it all goes well tommorow

Atteqa
