We created a building!! Amazing!! Kudos to the team!! Alhamdolillah!! Given the state of kalabagh dam, NJ dam and CJP's dam scheme, I suppose we probably should. The country's de facto leader showing up building inauguration how disappointing. When we deliver BETTER tech than IDF we should be proud. We aim for the first window and hit the ground floor and rejoice in our success. Aim for the stars man! Fail to achieve an insurmountable obstacle! Don't succeed at going a meter on a tricycle !
