When in your night sleep you see yourself getting kicked out from a promising job, that is a normal type of dream. But when your wife comes to know about it, that is a nightmare. And you wake up screaming only to find out that you have still to go to that darn office in the morning.
In its second annual award show, it is clear to see why it is already one of the most fun-filled nights of the showbiz calendar, with stars from music and film coming together.
Eritrean students sang aloud till their lungs ached, as the headmaster waved his baton frenetically to keep the tempo, with rivulets of sweat running down his face. Louder! Louder! He would shout. How much loud? Do you think their lungs are made of stainless steel? This was in the 1950s.
Babylon Square, a name Asmarinos gave to a corner of their city, is just a few metres from the Administration of Zoba Maekel in Asmara. Now sweater factories, electronics shops, coffee bars ring the place. A friend, who has an intimate knowledge of Asmara of the 1960s, says bars on both sides of the streets lined it, and blaring music (rare in other parts of the city) issuing from them.
Due to its majestic buildings, Asmara, which is inscribed on the UNESCO world heritage list, is known as an ‘‘exceptional example of early modernist urbanism”. Asmara is dotted with art deco villas that line its avenues and streets. Thousands of buildings were constructed during Italian colonialism.
