Bell School.

This is a sketch of the very first building I had designed on my very own.

Its a school in Tirunelveli, Tamilnadu, in collaboration with a senior and a brother- Anup Anna.

A small school where we had tried out simple ways and means to make the building more energy efficient. This sketch shows how we had let the walls fold in and out... increasing the surface area and reducing the heat gain.

An initial sketch of the school block .

The final 3d after some revisions.

My Postit Board

What would be my first post be .... I was undecided.... I hemmed and hawed..I seed I sawed...... What could I write that would set the tone for the rest of my blog.....

The topic of my first post I thought , would create a circle and anything else that I would later post would have to relate to the self same circle.It would either draw off tangentially from that circle or fall within it. So, I wanted to write something that would help me define a line. That way I would have numerous more points to where I could define the centres of my circles. I was proud of my ateral lthinking capabilities!

That's when I realised that all along in life we keep defining our own centres, our circles and lines. We set our limits and then feel hemmed in within all those boundaries and work hard to break them.But in reality....they dont exist. We have brought them into existence.

It seems that everything new is ground breaking, it creates new paths... new avenues....
But...... I question...whose ground and whose path.... Why should there be a ground at all...and why a path....Why cannot one flit from one flower to the next..... with only passion and interest creating a pattern.... We say we have to live life on our own terms. But why should there be any terms at all???

My blog I decide will be like a gigantic post it board... Full of random thoughts and ideas..... each either relating to the other...or totally independent... Post its in the myriad colours of thoughts ....... colours of success and failure, pride and shame....white grey, green, purple and many many more........ Colours which would reflect the multicoloured canvas we call life......

And the fun part is... that all of you reading this blog..could add your random bits of colour.... and help me make my post it board....a riot of colour... a work of Art.....

Here's to a colourful blog!!!! :)
