Our 'Green' tree

Given the Pollution, De-forestation, attack of the plastic 'Christmas trees', a little bored me decided to do my little thing this season :-)

What do you think ?

My haunted tales!

Very so often, out water closet decides to flush by itself.
Sometimes its the minute I open the locks and get inside and sometimes its midnight, waking a very disturbed me up!
We already have a noisy water heater that clangs its way routinely anyway but now its as if the W.closet is a new addition and the heater wants to hit on the WC, they sometimes clang and flush together!
Not that I believe in ghosts (shit scared of horror movies which I watch very religiously)but there is fun in talking about a hypothetically haunted bathroom!!!

While in hostel, we architecture students who were always spread over a large table/drawing board had trouble finding our eraser that just a few seconds back was in plain sight.
After a minimum of 10 minutes search for that, maybe after borrowing our neighbour's eraser, we would come back to find that dammed eraser right under our noses!
This happened primarily to erasers and sometimes to other stationary. We did come up with a theory that we had invisible ghosts/pixies (hopefully friendly) lurking around that loved teasing us and hid our stuff momentarily!
Oh those tales, wise old tales...but come to think of it, I am not ready for any other explanation that can solve the little mystery of escaping erasers :-)

And the best part about the search was that it gave relief from work, gave me an excuse to run to Peelu's room which was conveniently and intentionally right beside mine, have a little gossip, suddenly remember I was there for a reason, run back to mine, find my eraser and run back to return hers!!!!!
lol....miss those frivolous days :-)

Piano.com???

Once in an interview I was asked which architect's work has impressed me.Well, Im a Charles correa fan and have always loved his work,but people here would relate better to architects with a better international standing and it was only Santiago Calatrava who came to my rescue for God knows what reasons!
While in school,we had had a subject called 'Contemporary architecture' where we got to study works of renowned architects of the modern era.There was a very impressive structure which for its stark nakedness and being able to blend in a classic atmosphere with ease caught our eye!This is the Pompidou centre in Paris,designed by Renzo Piano ( Rogers and Piano initially) The whole theme,the basis of giving colours to different services baffles the eye.
The other project 'Kansai international airport terminal' needs no introduction.Would be best to let the images to give the picture!we are talking about an artificial island built on the bay of Osaka!Who ever thought one could concieve in reality...... such stupendously mindblowing ideas??(this strong adjective was needed)

Well one thing decided....I need a brushup of my school work and yes,remember that my fav is Renzo Piano!!!!
