An eventful day - Fire in bldg

Had a very eventful day yesterday!!! Started writing this out last night but was zonked
(with some wine) to complete this :) Woke up in Kuwait yesterday and sleep here in Bahrain...:)

Yesterday started as usual with me struggling to wake us as always.. he he.. then well reached work... worked a bit.. and then suddenly everyone was asked to leave the office!!!! Some one smelt smoke and so we were all asked to evacuate. At first everyone thought it was a false alarm...the reason it was hard to believe there was a real fire in the building was cause we usually have these fire drills when the fire alarm would go off and we'd all have to go down.. Initially we would faithfully exit the building but as time passed and we realized it was a drill we stopped participating.. Anyways yesterday it was the real thing!!!!... The whole place was smoking up... everyone was panicking and rushing, carrying all their belonging and rushing down the fire exit...

We managed to climb down 8 floors of steep stairs safely except for this one accident when this Arab lady slipped.. I hope she's all right cause from the looks on her face she was hurt bad!!!....

Posting some pics of the whole event.. Luckily had this digi cam (borrowed from this kind friend mine is still in coma) then so got some good pics :). To all the victims me and my colleague seemed like reporters walking around taking pics :) he he that was fun...

After an hour of hooo.. and haaa and panic and basically timepass we all were asked to go back to our respective offices....and work...Sigh!!!. Cause of the whole fire thing the ACs couldn’t be switched on and hence some of my colleagues were feeling suffocated.. Seeing this the so kind HR manager decided to give everyone the rest of the day off.. so ya ya....I left work!!!.. Was already scheduled to leave early with a half day leave since I had to catch my flight to here (Bahrain) at 3:45!!!.. but cause of that I saved my half day leave!!!

So left work early, caught the flight on time.. Felt soo good to leave the place.. for a short time though, but it a good feeling, a break from the usual....And not having to wake up early on a working day is always a fantastic feeling!!!! Just chilling and not doing anything productive is also a great feeling..

So yup that was yesterday.... Today yet another eventful day....A wedding in the family so.. :) There would be more to say tomorrow... :) if I have the energy after A LOT of the 3Ds...
