The Bomb at Marriott and the vteams office we never opened

A few years ago, I almost opened a vteams development center in Islamabad. Very close to where the Marriott is located. The reason was coffee.

Marriott is the only hotel in Islamabad which serves half decent espresso. Had I opened the development center, I could walk up to the hotel, have my coffee and walk back. Kill two birds with one stone. Get a good jolt and a good walk.

By the way, Islamabad is a nice city to walk in. Not that I am going to walk about on constitution avenue any time soon. Thanks to our friendly neighbors from Afganistan.

Although the hotel is completely destroyed, I admire the owner's resolve to rebuild it. When he does, I will probably open a center in Islamabad too. This time it will not be about coffee alone.
