The Council of Architecture website is probably the least accessible website every designed. No matter how hard you look, it’s impossible to find the link to the application form for registering yourself as an architect!

NO RIGHTS to flights on I-day!

Pushkin Passey — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 19:20:36 +0000

2009 is probably not much different from the year gone by… though for us this 15th of August has come as a major revelation of things that we thought existed. For instance, we thought that this day, being a holiday, is a great day for visiting the Red Fort. No, it is not. No one [...]

A day before Independence Day

Pushkin Passey — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 19:20:05 +0000

Exciting day indeed… everybody wants to become a flag-seller and a kite seller a couple of days before the 15th of August every year. Three reasons:

Have fun, do what your heart says

Pushkin Passey — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 04:01:48 +0000

Sometimes joy comes meandering through words in a poem

Sometimes truth floats in like a shimmering mirage that dances

Sometimes you can read a few stanzas and feel life as it is lived by others

Sometimes one smile rolled in a cursory touch satisfies you

Sometimes a few moments of solitude are enough to fill you with ideas

Sometimes rain puddles do not stop you from moving on into the heart of [...]
