The pink copy goes to the lady...
The motorcycle traffic police arrived on scene about twenty minutes later from the Garoud Station and observed the position of the ML350 and the M, had a chuckle between them, and then spoke in Arabic in soft and tender tones to the Black-abaya-clad lady who, when first stepping out of 50% tinted darkness . inadvertently revealed her Henna’ed ankle, a silver, diamond-studded anklet, five of her perfectly pedicured, flesh-painted, white tipped toenails, and one of her extremely fashionable, minimalist-in-form, four-inch-heeled straps-free, sandal-stiletto affairs that looked very dainty and very feminine but at the same time, as though it could hold up a tower in a strong wind. And Mike, naturally, marveled at the perfectly engineered Arabic-lady, foot-form thus in post-graunch haste unwittingly, whimsically, revealed before vaulting himself, almost automatically, into another foray of English language cusses such the likes even a former British naval officer would cringe at having to aurally endure lucky for any former British officers that might have been in the vicinity, Mike expelled the cusses this time with clenched teeth and lower volume, remembering suddenly that his top was down, out of respect for the lady who had just gotten out of the ML350, the fender of which still wedged its bulging intention firmly against the bumper of the “M”. It was after all a classic 2007 Infinity “M”, full-insurance coverage aside. The police gave the Sheikha the pink copy of the report and gave Mike the white copy. She was the guilty one. Had the police heard any one of mikes many profanations, the pink copy, just as night turns itself into day, surely, would have been his to take home.
Mike was in the midst of moving Raww Baww Tii Kii LLC HQ to its new location in Festival City Dubai. Why festival city, many people outright asked the owner, Mike. Not one being able to resist the pull of doing business WITH pleasure 100% of the time, Mike had told everyone who asked that he felt it was just the natural progression of Raww Baww Tii Kii’s original vision since its inception in 2007 “Fun Moving, Moving Fun”. Festival City deemed itself: “a unique and eclectic destination transforming the upper reaches of the historic Dubai Creek.” A true all-in-one destination, Dubai Festival City seamlessly blended hospitality, entertainment, business and residential in one superb setting. This was the Middle East’s largest, privately funded mixed-use real estate development. Revitalising the down-town soul of Dubai, this waterfront ‘city-within-a-city’ provided a safe, relaxed, friendly and exclusive setting for residents and visitors alike. From Riviera-style scenery and lush green landscapes to iconic towers and luxury hotels, Dubai Festival City claimed itself to be: “all you can image in one place.”
The logistics involved in moving a 5000 employee, Multi-national Mechatronics research and development organization like Raww Baww Tii Kii in a two week window brought forth the best in those responsible to Mike for making it happen just so.
