A little bit of fiction. A little bit of you and I.
As architects, we consider every site visit an opportunity to explore the surroundings. Lucky for us, our site happened to be in Hospete the node for travellers heading to Hampi, a heritage site recognized by UNESCO. We took a train to Hospete where our site was (they’ve introduced flights as well since last week.) Once [...]
I didn't talk to you all day that day. Excited. I was meeting him after a very long time. Shuffling through my rack, I found a pack of colored foam that you'd gifted me to make something for you with. I Picked up a box and neatly lined it with yellow foam from that [...]
So, it's been a while. Hi guys! This is going to be the most random post. A lot of thoughts has been in and out of my head lately. I'm gonna try and put them down. First about my confusion on a superior power and then about our darkest days. Some of the first things [...]
They say the way you start your year is probably how you'll spend the rest of it, right? I think I read this somewhere. Having counted down to 2017 in a freakin' bus and not spending the rest of the year in one or travelling, clearly, that's bull. Anyway, rewind 365. I walked into 2017 [...]

'Wait for graduation And then you'll be content'. Her folks said to her, Assuring, like they knew. What was in store, Maybe a successful interview? But in her [...]
Some time on hand, Do you have to spare? All you need to do, Is show up with Care. Millions of children, Didn't have it like you. But you can make a difference, In the lives of a few. The gratitude is, Oh, so rewarding. It's time you tried it, The clock is ticking. That [...]
I distinctly remember that day. A rush of adrenaline gave me the courage to do something I had never seen myself doing, ever. My ego most often ruled over me. With a virgin mojito each.
