The Salim Ahmed Salim Archive was launched on September 30, and I was lucky enough to get invited. In a town where so much of public life is frightfully dull due to the excessive involvement of the government and its interests, a wild digital archive containing documents collected by one of our most eminent statesmen was a jewel of an occurrence.
The event did not disappoint: it was slick, digital and tightly run. It also managed to be enjoyable, quite a feat for something that started with two anthems and about 3,000 minutes of prayer.
