Burj Dubai Opens! Maverick Indian Entrepreneur expected to start copying design into much smaller building by 2020

The Burj Khalifa Tower (The Architectural attraction formerly known as Burj Dubai)
was inaugurated in Dubai yesterday sealing its deal and becoming the world’s tallest tower.
Young first-year architecture students of VTU are salivating at the prospect
of being able to replicate the exact super structure on a much smaller scale
in Bangalore by the year 2020 in UB City for Maverick Entrepreneur and Liquor Baron Vijay Mallya.
UB city already has nearly 1/5th replicas of other iconic buildings like the Empire State(Renamed Kingfisher City).
An original inspirational tower is anathema to Bangalore construction and the ambition

to be world class is a little uppity. Not to mention, could be seen as India needlessly “taking scope”.

Bank manager AVX Shenoy condemned alleged Mindry barb
at UB City, and its latent subversive activities on both Mallya’s and India’s behalf,
but, significantly didn’t rule out the construction of a dimunitive copy cat Khalifa Kingfisher in 2020.

Former stock broker and 8th standard student Thabish also asked Sharath (general secretary of All India Mindry Party)
to shut up and stop plugging himself. “Vijay Mallya is a great hero. He started out rich
and not only stayed rich but got richer. He’s an inspiration to rich kids everywhere.
His kid is also rich and is likely to remain a rich source of inspiration to rich kids everywhere, not only India.
God willing, we will build a tower here just like the Burj Khalifa with 7 floors and the
city shall be proud. Of course the copy cat tower will also have to be kept forcibly empty for a while
just to make sure we don’t try to get creative. It should follow the original exactomundo.”
This volte face by traditional mindry.in supporters and pluggers has rather disappointed
the writers (but not the board). On further investigation Thabish’s angst has been pegged to returning to school after
Christmas vacations and AVX was rumored to be highly upset that “recycled paper” on his 2009
calendar didn’t mean that he could use the same calendar in 2010 but that he would in fact
have to buy a new calendar.
