Burj Khalifa - Height of Human Achivement

Did anyone watch the opening ceremony of the Burj Khalifa....It was simply amazing.





Take a look at these pictures, this building is one of the best man made achievements of the century.

Soaring 2,717ft into the air above Dubai and with 1,292,500 sq ft of glass to keep spic and span, the £1billion Burj Khalifa presented a unique problem for the maintenance staff.

Dale Harding, the general manager of window cleaning company Cox Gomyl, said the firm installed £5million of hi-tech equipment, including unique window-cleaning carousels which they designed, to ensure the Burj Khalifa looks its best.

Twelve machines weighing 13 tons carry up to 36 cleaners, who use ordinary soapy water to wash down the Burj's 24,830 reflective windows in a process that takes three months from top to bottom.

The cleaners stand on the specially designed machines, which emerge from cavities in the skyscraper and track along rails skirting its curved towers.

I guess you could call this the height of cleanliness!

Blogging Ideas

Blogging may be quite difficult as many times one is faced with writers block. So I have included a few pointers that could be kept in mind while blogging. You could write about these when you cannot think of what to blog about:
1. Write about a Personal experiences: - tell a story. The more dramatic it is the better. This you may conclude with a lesson you learnt from this experience, For eg: your experience at tbs, freshers party, tour of Delhi, etc.
2. Let a great photograph inspire you. Behind every great photo is a story. You can take any photo and write about it in detail. The more different the photo is the more likely it is that others would read about the article. Also you can enclose the photo.
3. Comment on something in the news. This can be something global or something that is specific to India or Delhi.
4. Review a book, movie, mobile phone, any other popular device
5. Report on an interesting conversation. You meet lots of interesting people daily; there is always something that someone may have told you that you may want to share.
6. Make a seemingly overwhelming task simple. Often there are easy ways to doing something that less people are aware of. You can write about such tasks. For example, how to cook something, tips for travelers from out of station, tips on how to use facebook, orkut, etc
7. Explain the rationale behind a decision. You can write about something you did and explain why you did it. This can be quite interesting for other who may also learn from your decisions.
8. Own Contributions: You can send your own contributions if it is jokes, poems, photographs etc.
Gud Luck and keep blogging....
