Whats up?

Long time....yes, I know. But something happened. A small little course at UW. Class once a week. Two essays to submit over the weekend, every week. Nice! Wait....on what? Philosophy!!!! Yikes....philosophy of architecture!! What was I thinking? Like most things in my life I din't know what I was getting into.

Now I have just one more class to go and I feel life will never be the same again....there I go again..all melodramatic!!! What was so special is that I learnt something so very important. That there is a link between Language, metalanguage and architecture. Yay!!! Now I can put it all together, shake it all up and gulp it down like a milkshake!!! Then I realized how much of reading I have to do, want to do. I kinda lost track of things I wanted to explore after I came to the US...but now I can see an open window.

The class was good....but I need to make use of it for anything effective to germinate. Germinate...You know, try as I might, I'm not a gardening person. Nor am I a handicraft person. I wish I could be....taking, absorbing joy in a detail, a blossom! I digress. So I want to travel. Yeah right! I do but its not going to happen in the near future. But i can dream. Travelling with a backpack, walking through a city, absorbing it, reading in transit, learning to say hello in local languages. The life of a nomad!!

Perfect holiday

I know...I hate those long monologues of someone's boring (boring to me) vacation. This is not a recollection but a dream of how a holiday should be. I love nature and trekking and ultimately I would want to walk and explore a city. Carrying a backpack, map in hand I would love to stroll through a magnificent city, eat in little corner cafes, photograph the graffiti, browse through little bookshops and taste the sweetness of doing things at my pace. Yeah...I want to do this alone.

Not that I'm reclusive or anything. Anyone who would like to do things my way without getting on my nerves is welcome! But no hurrying me or "Could you keep this in your bag too?" And ofcourse "Lets look for the nearest Saravana Bhavan" is absolutely not allowed!!!

I find it so annoying to do all the touristy things and hurry through it all so you can squeeze in the maximum for your moneys worth!

I used to write.....i used to have a need to express through solid words.....then the medium metamorphasized, combined with my profession...become a collage of spaces, colurs and metaphors. Now...im at the crucial node of choosing the medium...or perhaps no medium at all...

In this new land of "dreams"...(yes, its laced with sarcasm as this land has shattered mine), the rules are different, the rewards are different and the parameters are different. Its altogether a new ball game, my friend.
