Why do we ‘worship’ God? Is it that we are so in awe of his ‘powers’ that we bow in front of him? Is it that we hope for such a stature in society? Or is it that we are scared of him; afraid that his anger could destroy our earthly lives? Are we trying to keep him pleased? Or is it that we think of him as a source of ‘inhuman’ strength, and ask for favours? Do we ask for things that we cannot mend, understand, or help? What is God’s job description?

All our bollywood movies are in Hindi language; our RASHTRA BHASHA. But then, ALL the titles are in English! It’s a bit incoherent, I think- even the short forms are in English alphabets- DDLJ, K3G, RHTDM...But its not like that in kannada movies. All the titles are in kannada language...‘Mungaaru Male’ in English looks so funny, while ‘Swades’ written in English is normal. Something is wrong.

I love carbon (tracing) paper. I have been using it a lot lately- tracing out contours for my site model. Every time I trace a contour, the lines remain on the tracing paper; there are layers and layers of lines, shapes and forms- they contain so much history...on one particular sheet, I could see the remains of the site boundaries of my fifth and sixth semester work- ready to merge with the lines from my thesis project; the culmination.

“Staring at the blank page before you,
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words
That you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you,
Only you can let it in..
No one else can speak
The words on your lips-
Drench yourself in words unspoken,
Live your life with arms wide open..
Today is where your book begins-
The rest is still unwritten.”
