Every second person I meet in Bangalore is a software engineer. Softie, to be precise. :)


I wonder who invented the concept of ‘mass-bunk’. It’s awesome! Hehe...it’s the biggest and most relieving escapist activity EVER. We’re ALL looking to escape, aren’t we? Why is it always easier to do the wrong thing? Why is it always difficult to do the right thing? Why does it need courage to stand up for what is right? If it were simpler to do the right thing, no one would do the wrong thing in the first place! Imagine- it would be a nice, warm world...


Development of design intent into the architectural form is one big roller coaster ride. Somehow, all through the past few years, I have not been able to categorize or tabulate; there is no one ‘certain path’. Somehow, every project offers different sets of variables- time, mood, friends, weather, pressure, expectation, and help. For every new set of combination, a new process seems to have dawned. Maybe it will stabilize once I start working with a certain fixed set of people.


I love drawing architectural sections. I (more often than not) start arriving at my built form through sections. Its fun, and somehow the whole site is not stuffed in your face. You’re taking one plane at a time, and simplifying the issue; seems more effective to me.
