Admire the Burj Khalifa

Ω Burj Dubai now identified as Burj Khalifa is the tallest skyscraper man has ever built to date. One can call it an indomitable if not stubborn attitude of human to scale new altitudes. One should not be perturbed and distracted that the aggregate cost of erecting this concrete structure which now stands at USD 1.5 billion could have assisted a lot of deprived neighbouring Arab countries. One should not pay much attention that the Burj Khalifa was built with blood money, predominantly by workers from South Asia, who earned around USD 4 a day, residing in horrendous conditions, their pay withheld and passport impounded by their employers, labouring in perilous conditions leading to high number of deaths and injuries on the site. One should appreciate and be in awe of this edifice and not be too distressed about the environmental impact. After all Dubai symbolizes and represents the playground of millionaires, and the city presents activities not offered by the neighbouring kingdoms. Who cares in this generation that one day there will be a loud thud and a lot of dust?
