I wonder if my blog page is monotonous. It’s just pure text- and tons of it. We read a lot of books with only text, don’t we? Oh that reminds me of how desperately my mom had tried to get me started on reading actual books- a transfer from comics. Difficult, it was. I think the first book that I read was one of the secret seven series. Nice books, those. Famous five, too.


I’ve been thinking a lot about my professional future- how I want to end up- full fledged architect with big firm or what..So many things are coming to my mind- they’re all so easy to say- living them is a different thing. For example, “I want to bring design to the common man.” How in the whole universe do you actually do it? This might even sound too idealistic -or philosophical- even. Hmm..


Do ‘great’ architects have great attitude? I have been meeting with a lot of architects recently. I have asked them fundamental questions relating to their aim in their architectural life- and they’re all so unique. Everybody has something new and striking to say. But one thing- they know all about each other, and keep track of one another’s achievements and failures. Know your enemy, eh?


The last four paragraphs that I have written are all of almost the same length. Feels out of place- makes me want to write more in some of the paragraphs to make it less standardized. There- at least in this paragraph I varied the length! :)


“There is nothing called as a low cost home- It’s such a humiliating thing to say. Even if a farmer’s life savings is 3 lakhs, he expects a good home for himself. Same with a businessman with a budget of 3 crores. No one wants a cheap product. ‘Low cost’ is the wrong word. The word is ‘appropriate’.”
