Base Shift.
And just when I thought I was getting used to the violently red and yellow walls at my new workplace, we’ve been shifted to a new location. The team has expanded so violently that there seems to be no way to accommodate us in the existing facility.
Thus, came into the picture a sprawling villa at Muscat’s sort-of-posh ‘Al-Sarooj’ locale. The enclosure I sit in is in an absolute corner - so we can all guess what I’m going to do in my leisure!
It has many more windows. Actually there’s so much sun that I have had to write to HR asking for some blinds. Its nice.
As is customary, I spent most of today doing up my workstation. In the most mundane of mindsets, I find it calming if I have nice things to look at. Travel aspirations, quotes, books, movies, my favourite people. Yes. Its making me smile. And I’m not done yet.
Here goes, for your viewing pleasure.

@ Swat: Know what - I'd rather work from my dining table :)
Thank you, and aaaaaaa!! *such excitement*
Swades is good. :)
Awwwwhhh,... you work in a Villa? What ya.. I work from my dining table :/
Love the pictures, and you! :)
@ Aiyo: You wrote Dumble-bore!! How did I miss that. Hahaa...
@ RB: I knew you'd love it. There is bougainvillea all over the villa :)
And of course tum ho photos me! Shah Rukh is work in progress. Swades ka poster lagaoongi :D
Orange-ish red and white building! I'm in love! :D
The sun is always nice. I loved it even in the desert. :)
Main bhi hoon photos mein! Eeeeee! Par Shah Rukh Khan kahan hai?
But of course it is Albus Dumbledore and not Arthur DumbleBore! :D I didn't realize the typo in the last name there until i read it now. Funny dude.. real funny.. :)
And no wonder i didn't find any article for Arthur Dumbledore when i googled it up.. I was like really?? but then gave up the chase.. :P
Come to think of it, I didn't give that one a thought at all. It was something a friend at Edelman had given me off her cubicle when she was leaving (She was an international relations crazy).
And I kept it, in memory of her. George Bush shouldn't really adorn my walls, but good that you found an excuse for me to keep it :)
And yay, for the quotes. I love them too. And I have to do this - its 'Albus' Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts :D
I love the arthur Dumblebore quote and the Tolkein one as well and the Roald Dahl's as well.. Actually all of them.. :P
Only thing that sort of leaves me a little puzzled is George Bush! I can read the quote on that piece of cutting, "War is Peace", and it does make sense in a lot of ways, but to associate Bush with that amount of intellect and thought behind that statement, seems a little ludicrous to me.. :)
I am assuming you didn't bother to give it as much thought as i did... or probably it is there in place to make you feel good that if a dumbnut as Bush could be the president of the US, then you sure can scale unimaginable heights. :)
Hain na! Abhi aur bohat jagah hai softboard pe :)
Jje to ossum hai!!
