I have this thing with W@lls...!


"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 league and then finish it.

So let me take ya 'll to a tour of this thing which I have with walls!


My room in Kanpur. Before I scrapped and painted it yellow,it used to be a dirty white wall with stickers and newspaper cuttings!


Take the wall and paint it yellow!!

The Egyptian Goddess...the wall next to the green board in my class...I think it is still there!


**Freedom**

That bulb is just in the right place!


Smart way to store your bike without making the room look like a store room!!



This diwali.

I also have a thing for butterflies,angels- I think I have a thing for Wings!

Wings of Fire.

So guys, 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.

Pseudo Modern Architecture- Aping the west

'The following is inspired by the speeches given by Mr. Tapan Mozumdar, Project director, ITC  and Architect and urban designer Kavitha Selvaraj,Director, CRN Architects, Bangalore at World of Facades annual conference at ITC Gardenia Bengaluru.' To many people it might feel boring to be in a place for long. Recently, people have been asking me about continuing my job. Career wise I think one should experience being in a place for long, unless it becomes meaningless. Because when things start getting exciting for you, like you get your own business card, some perks, people start recognizing you ,you know you belong there. Every firsts become your favourite and you reminisce it for the rest of your life. This was my first invitation to a conference. I have been to conferences in 5 stars before on behalf of my bosses, but this one was special. It had 'To Ar. Antara Basu  ' written on it. Experiences become  even more memorable when you get answers to questio...

Is architecture really a social responsibility?

 'as architects our goodness is more important than our greatness and our compassion more eventful than our passion.'  Like most people, I am guilty to attend seminars and conferences and accept invitations lured by the hotel where it is organised and the cocktails and dinner that follows. More often than not the conferences are only ways to meet new vendors, materials and are rather boring to be honest. But sometimes… just sometimes... it gives you back much more than what you expect. It forces you to ponder the untouched philosophies of life that have always existed around you without it being realized.Think about something that is so simple, so basic but neglected. I happened to be in one such conferences last night where it somewhere intensely touched my soul. I only hope that the chords it hit so deep within me should rather not fade away any sooner and that is why I thought of writing about it. After all this was my purpose when I started writing blogs. Though I am...

You are your Choices

Most of us see dreams, but do nothing about it. Most of us want to change the course of their life, yet do nothing about it. I still remember the day I was whining to Atika, a dear friend of mine, "Bohot kaam hai,kaise khatam hoga?! " To which she replied upfront, "Kaam karne se khatam hota hai, rone se nahi" .That statement although very simple, has helped me finish things which I start, since then. Or even start doing things which I always want to. Back in Lucknow, as days passed, it was getting more and more suffocating. Scared of the future and where I was heading to. I had no interest in teaching, not at least without gaining any experience in the field. I wanted to start a firm someday, but how? In a city where girls are not even sent to site visits, how was I supposed to understand the real world of architecture, just sitting behind the computer and doing exactly  what I was asked to. In a place where I was underestimated, my professional pace was get...
