I am an Architect. Or AM I?

"if you want to start writing a book, do it today. If you want to join a gym or a dance class, do it today.  If you want to start painting again....do it today. Do it this very hour." Is it so weird that I just love painting walls? An empty wall has been my canvas, like forever...!  Only if you give it a thought , after our school days get over, we just stop spending time in doing what we actually love to do...like sketching, painting, joining a classical dance class or even salsa for that matter, or in some case even painting walls! I don't know why but painting walls weirdly inspire me. It is like this target for me that I need to accomplish. Often, we don't finish things that we start. For me it's like ,if I finish painting the wall, I started, I can finish all my unfinished projects! Nevertheless it is a motivation for me to dream things which are bigger and wish to bring them to a conclusion, someday. To start something which is out of my...

"The architect was not at all involved. It was a major heart break for me. Nobody around was experienced enough. Whatever little interaction I had with my boss, I couldn't find anything that was brilliant. I was not growing. I wasn't growing at all. I came to a standstill in my career." Now this happened recently after I left my college, soon after my thesis, which was a success, I headed back home. I couldn't stay there for long and the next week I was back to Lucknow to look for a job. After a few days of search and interviews, I realized, Lucknow was not the place for me. If the office was good ,the pay was bad and vice versa- the pay was never good. This blog could be a bit controversial ,so I may change a few facts and also mould a few. The intension is only to state an honest experience. Nothing else. The day of my interview I look back to these 6 months as a dark period. But experience, be it any ,counts. Also, if I may remind you an excer...

I told my Boss's wife ,I want to quit as my thesis is about to start and I need time for preparation for my masters,a very dumb excuse,I know. But,somehow, whatever she said,convinced me not to leave.I was not a quitter. I sat in front of the computer and instead of looking for "interior ideas for bedrooms" I searched for Butterflies! Back in 2013,after coming back from my training in Kolkata, I was keen to join a firm on a part-time basis.But in Lucknow,what I observed and what I felt was unfair and made me upset,was that girls /women were not encouraged to go to site visits of the projects that they were handling.Unlike,my present office,where the second day of my joining I was sent to three site visits of the projects that I was supposed to handle. Anyway, so I joined an Office. Now, After around a little more than two years, I think that was a very good decision,given the training I received,after architecture, in Interior designing ,as well. It was a small fir...
