რაღაცნაირად

Last pages of La mala hora by Gabriel José de la Concordia García Márquez (yeah, it's his full name); rain, smell of which I tried to feel by opening door; dialogue between president and opposition without any result; and some strange feeling - it's Monday, May 11th, 11.29 PM.

1 month

This magical period - 1 month :) I was labeling posts as april protests, now gonna change it as "spring protests". But maybe will have to change it once more :)

Opposition rally from regions to Tbilisi

ჯასტ :-)

3-დღიანი სააღდგომო არდადაგების მოლოდინში (ხვალ არ იწყება, ზეგ) ველოსიპედით გავისეირნე, თან ორ ადგილას მიმდინარე აქციას მივადევნე თვალი. პირველ არხთან რამდენიმე საკნის გარდა 30-მდე კაცი იყო შეკრებილი, ჩემი პრეზიდენტობის კანდიდატი თინა ხიდაშელი კი სიტყვით გამოდიოდა. პარლამენტის წინ ოდნავ მეტი ხალხი იყო, თუმცა გამოსვლების სტილი სტუდია "სპექტრის" იყო. პარლამენტთან მყოფთაგან რამდენიმე ამჟამინდელი და ყოფილი კოლეგა იყო, ოდნავ მოშორებით კი ფეხით მოსიარულენაცნობი  ველოსიპედისტები ვნახე. ხუთშაბათია და დღეს ყველა ბანაობს :-) მეც არ ვარ გამონაკლისი. და კიდე ორი "დაკარგული" მელოდება ბიტ-კომეტში.

ხვალ, 15.00 საათზე, პარტია "სომხეთი გადაარჩენს საქართველოს" პრეზიდენტ სააკაშვილის გადადგომის მოთხოვნით ტელეკომპანია "მიუზიქ ბოქსის" შენობის პიკეტირებას იწყებს. გთხოვთ, მობრძანდეთ.

Diario #2 episode 7

It will be last episode for this season and that’s why maybe a bit long :-)

Today was nice day. It was like déjà-vu. I began day in the present and finished in the past. In the middle there was sweet recent past. But let me tell the full story.

There was dull morning, with no news, walking up and down at work. Oops, there was something different – I drank orange juice in the morning instead of coffee :-) Then was program, conversation with Dabi Group’s representative to make WI-max news about new company at telecommunication market. Oh, remember how it was first time? Searching difference between Wi-Fi and WI-max? Can’t imagine what kind of internet we will have in 10 years, or in 2029 :-)

Misha said he will stay till 2013. Opposition said they will picket governmental buildings. I didn’t want to go there today. Don’t know why.

Misha didn’t resign, but I did go at Zero’s place. I didn't go there to restore something, or to say something I think about. I simply repeated well-known road. It was like nothing happened - good old times. I ordered pizza.ge-s pizza and spaghetti carbonara. Was trying not to think about such things, but sometimes there was wish to hug. It wasn't kind of hope for me as it acted. We were sincerely speaking and that was the main.

Then I went at IPN’s office. There is still mobilization, in spite of Marriott rooms’ reservation was cancelled J I asked chief if I can work tomorrow, but they needed help today as well, so I automatically began writing news. I was really happy while doing that. Yes, some can tell I am crazy.

I wanted (and still want) to be at Rustaveli avenue during protests, because at the moment it’s the most important place. I like to be in the epicenter, I don’t like to miss moments important for country and society. It was Bush in Tbilisi, November 7, almost all elections and so on. I wasn’t here during the war and will much time care about that.

I usually thing about some great people – who is alive and whom I wanna meet. But I understand that they are old and I won’t be able to meet them. I can tell the names of Gabriel Garcia Marques, Fidel Castro. I wish I could know closely Sofiko Chiaureli and Kote Makharadze before they died.

But let’s return to IPN. I wrote some informations from TV (protests and Bakradze’s live interview), helped in communicating with journalists and so on. Even found some news for Capital in newspapers. One more well-known road was while I was coming back home. Now am listening to Arsenium, feliz’s library and folder “nuovo”.

The story looks like unfinished, but it shouldn’t be. Tomorrow I am going in IPN for the whole day. It’s possible I will check Zero’s new wall. See ya.

P.S. During days I was publishing diary, my blog’s rating was high – especially when I was describing my emotions (#1) and protests in Tbilisi streets (#2).

Diario #2 episode 6

08.45 - Internet came, can update blog.
09.12 - Dad called and asked if I am going today at Rustaveli. I replied 'sure' and got answer 'you are working at state tv, you remember about that?'

09.15 - I am just Sandro. He is still watching my program? Or we lost one spectator? Day before yesterday was the first time as I remember - more people watched us than Courier.

09.37 - I am in bus and there are only 2 ladies there except me.

09.45 - They don't stop cars near Imedi's entrance.
11.00 - President Saakashvili and opposition leaders gathered in front of parliament in memory of April 9, 1989 events.

11.30 - People began gathering in front of parliament and in 4 different places.
13.05 - My voice was put at Fady Asly's sinchrone.
13.10 - Maestro showed special forces entering 1tv. Today's Capital sucked.

15.10 - At 4 opposition will read statement towards president. 150 000 people are at Rustaveli, - Interpressnews reports.

15.45 - It's raining a bit. French ambassador came in Imedi to check broadcasting.
16.40 - Some protesters moved in front of 1tv. Impossible for everybody to stay at Rustaveli and listen to statements of opposition leaders. David Magradze adressed president and called him to resign. 24-hours term was given to him to reply.

17.31 - Outside is windy and quite cold. I will leave work soon and go there.

18.12 - There are not much people left at Rustaveli. Alasania told leaders will stay at night in front of parliament. Tomorrow 3PM is deadline for Saakashvili.
19.45 - I am in Marriott now, in IPN-s room. There was briefing of Zurabishvili, Davitashvili and Abashidze. They told nothing new, just that Misha should resign.

20.30 - I am in the epicenter. It's cold, but I wanna stay for some time. There are few thousand people still, road is closed. Maisashvili is speaking. Roma and lots of other journalists I know are there.
21.32 - I am at home. Bought some food in the supermarket. To summarise this day, was expecting bit more. But more will be, and weather will be better as well :-) Don't know what should I do at work tomorrow. IPN didn't need my help today. I will work hard at week-end I think.

22.19 - Tomorrow should be last day of diary. But let's see. maybe term will be changed :-) Some time ago I was few times thinking about compatibility of protests and my relations. Now situation is changed. And soon I hope I won't mention that in blog. For somebody maybe its easy to cut hair and to forget everything, but not for me.

22.25 - That's it. I will take shower and sleep. Everybody was afraid of today, but nothing happened. I think I didn't forget any important detail of my day. If I did, you can comment :-) Misha isn't reading my blog?

Diario #2 Episode 5

Part 1.

Even less people in the mini-bus I connect now with tomorrow. Everybody is still waiting, but what for? I am sure events in Moldova, when youngsters didn't try much to enter president's palace, won't happen here. What about Moldova, i support protester's pro-vestern views, but why they want to become part of Romania? What about Georgia, I propose Saakashvili to change constitution, to announce he is the last president, and I will personally let him to stay till 2013 :-) Parliamentary elections should be announced as well. Why so much politics this morning?

Politics and April 9 is discussed everywhere by everybody. Somebody tells "nothing will happen", some is waiting for violation... In TV-s tomorrow I don't wait for some special broadcasting, that's why I wanna be there, in the epicenter. What about we can speak in "Capital", I don't know. We still thinking about possible guests.

Japanese embassy is something unique. I would have arranged Barack Obama's interview more easier than interview with ambassador. So it is one more time delayed.

Yes, there was one more event today - small detail but still cool. Journalists at press-conference, People Bank's staff and director and you say... "daiwyeT, pirdapir eTerSi xarT".

They block Ilia II-s comment? :-( I wonder what situation will be in TV these days.....

Part 2.

Our guests in tomorrow's program will be Mr. Kakha Bendukidze and Mr. Demur Giorkhelidze. I went with Khronika in Alasania office, then has been as well at Rustaveli

avenue for some students' small protest "against violation". I decided that won't help Imedi, but IPN. It will be more interesting for me. By the way IPN is preparing for tomorrow very nicely. They even rented Marriott room to have possibility for making photoes from there. There will be 2 videocameras (!) as well to put videos on theis site. I will be at Rustaveli as soon as we finish working on Thursday, I hope we won't have program on Friday, and on week-end I am there surely.

Inga invited me to drink coffee and eat some cake. She has very small, but cosy room. There I knew about Turkish Airline's Boing landing in Vaziani airdrome instead of Tbilisi Airport - "by mistake" :-)

I watched football - Barca - Bayern. Didn't support any of them, but some italian players were still there./// Barca won first half 4-0, when I decided not to watch second and sleep. I was watching match on NTV+ and decided to remember old times and to write some phrases of Mr. Utkin - great commentator. So here they are:

Все синхронно и взаимопонимабельно

Роль табло перешла от Месси к Алвесу (счет 2-0, а у Алвеса номер 20)

Сквозь чужие ноги в атаку

К тому же весь первый тайм Уткин развивал теорию, что настоящих футболистов Баварии заперли в номере, играют их двойники, а из-за дождя фарс раскроется, так как у них спадут парики

After football was trying to find some interesting political program to sleep watching it, but could't. In program "Sakani" (prison cell) there was nobody interesting, just I mentioned that Ucnobi knows everything what happens in the country. He told that government was waiting for Okruashvili from Istanbul, that's why it was landed in Vaziani. Then he reviewed topic of internet switched off by Caucasus (as we see internet is working already). Spoke about Patriarch's speech, which was shown not fully by all central TV-s.

I asked Zero if was waiting for me yesterday, the answer was yes. Then I asked if today was expecting for same - there was no answer, just strange smile :-) Yes, I won't go there until Misha is president (kind of joke :-), maybe not). Maybe later also won't go. Just idea of being iMer #2 is not the best.

And just today I was thinking.. Why I am writing Zero Assoluto? Is it really 0?
