An interesting tidbit discourse….….
Viewpoints or dialogue between an architect and an s/w engineer, read along…
N: du need 2 do self-analysis to kno ur self?... ive known ma self 4 22 yrs now!!...
R: u knw da the most difficult thing to do is to know urself....u have to find urself....u have to find ur consciousness from the deep chaos which goes on within u every second.
N: well i strtd readin derrida, fockult.. etc..psychoanalysis, semiotics.. btw takes time to understand ya!!..
R: ohh........derrida is god in philosophy...specially evolution of language...im much into scientific stuff...bt i dnt knw whts semiotics
N: semiotics is science of signs n symbols.. ... deconstruction of codes to understand the inherent meanings.. etc...
R: hmmm.....semiotics mean the job of Robert Langdon in DA VINCI CODE?
N: hehehehe.. noooooooo.... well not exactly no.. btw cnt explain u….
R: bt philosophy has deep relations with physics n mathematics i guess...so tht's y im much into scientific reading.
N: well philosophy actually can be related to many things....
R: u'll be confused.....according to ur profile description...all chaos...lol!
N: v.true.... chaos seriously rules me..... to no extents..see its not dat diff to kno urself!!..
R: u can predict tht… u r unpredictable........haha
N: hey gud1.... btw whre in da para is it mentnd dat im unpredictable??>....or iz it ur conclusion??>.
R: it is da conclusion.....chaos is always random and randomness is unpredictable.....formidable logic huh?
N: well i dont agree wid u...chaos seems ramdom btw ther is an inherent ordering to it... formidable logic huh... so predictable..
R: same thing u r repeatin....tht u cn predict randomness.....its like u r sayin tht u predict tht u'll be unpredictable in next two minutess....thr's no specific logical value to ur satement.
N: no i am not.. because i m not saying chaos is randomness.. u said that!!!.. my defination of chaos is diff... its okay if u dont find any logical value to my statements..
R: let me put it this way....find out whether a person is saying the truth or not when he says"I ALWAYS LIE"no specific logical value to the statement.
N: evrything need be logical... certain intangible things cant be explained!!.. n i m not a mathematician to prove my theories!!...heheheheee
R: hey...u goin into derrida nw...while expressing any idea in a language thr's a central idea to which tht writing is connected.if u gt the central idea wrong thn the complete meaning changes....thn whts ur idea of chaos?
N: well... cant my interpretation of chaos be different??.. i thnk i just explnd u my ideas of chaos...
R: haha....btw if u love maths thn u wud know tht thr's actually a function to represent randomness called gaussian function.tht adheres to ur definition of randomness.so u r true in ur own way.
N: hate maths!!...well btw my theories are proved.. thnx to u!!!..

2. "Here's a quarter. go call your mom and tell her you're not going to be an architect."
3. Your design is like masturbation, you want to know why? That is because only you yourself enjoyed and like it.
4. What is that boxy thing (model)? A coffin?
Your design sucks!
5. Your design is very tasteful… … for the tasteless.
6. "Is this a … structural… glob of glue?"
7. "When I went to school, at a different school than this one, there were students who would present projects like this one.And they would fail."
8. "Your project looks like something that's been through a trash compactor"
9. "This space that you've designed is the type place where beggars and dogs go to die"
10. "Are you in interior design?"
11. "Why are you studying architecture if you're producing things like that?"
12. "Hey, everyone, gather round this project, come in close…because this is a great example for everyone of exactly what NOT to do.."
13. "This drawing isn't worth the paper it is printed on."
14. "This (model) is great…..just don't let your dog play with it next time."
15. "The program you invented was meant solely for your architectural masturbation……"
16. If you build this and after 10000 years the aliens see it, they would understand why humans extinguish

Beach saunter
Harihareshwar, Dive-agar, Raigad, Harne- murud……
A well deserved break to the serene beaches of Konkan was surely not on the list of agenda after the examinations. But it just propped up suddenly out of nowhere and was received with great enthusiasm and gusto. The extended trip to Konkan beaches was a pleasant surprise for me coz I wasn’t aware of the plan till the last day of my vivas (dats y propped up frm nowhere)…..
Besides, the trip was a celebration of my exit from Alcatraz and my cousins entry in (he wud be giving his boards next year and his coaching classes were supposed to start on the very day we were returning).
We ended up going to Raigad fort (completely unplanned), and it sort of was my hat trick to Raigad. Have been there earlier wid ma school frnds - both the times and had climbed all the way up till we dropped.
That was quite an experience to savor and looking forward to it yet again. Going to Raigad and back was a minimum two day affair then, but this time we used the ropeway so ended up seein the entire fort in flat three hours and were back on grounds and on our way to Dive-agar (a small coastal village in Konkan famous for its Ganapati temple) the very day…..
The following days were sight seeing the village. Followed by a stay at Harihareshwar and visiting the Harihareshwar temple and roaming the streets and exploring the small coastal town and loafing around on the virgin beaches.
Subsequent day was taking car ferry from a jetty….from Raigad to Ratnigari. It saved all the time traveling from one town to another and visited the villages of Ratnagiri – Harne (famous for its fort) and Anjurle (famous for its Ganapati temple) – again coastal villages.

So many emotion were surging together - dejection, depression, distress, despair, panic, disapproval, sadness, pressure, anxiousness….. blah blah…
Even if the things were goin fine and falling in place; there was a constant.. Irrational. Illogical fear….. n then I wud end up wid qstions like… ‘wat if’…
What if………. the file is corrupted….
Wat if…………. the comp conks….
Wat if………… the backup fails..or worse thre isn’t ne…
Wat if………..the jury won’t accept my design
Wat if…

U keep on finding these answers wherever possible and often u mite end up gtin answers like… just chill,.. relax, …. Chilax.. take a chill pill..
Btw seriously more often thn not it dsnt wrk!!... u kno dat deep within u
