My architect

It is a story about a man who tries to get to know his father(louis kahn)through his works over different phases of his life.well,what was interesting to see was that from louis kahn's first work to the national assembly house at Bangladesh, there has been a lot of transformations in terms of sensitivity towards his work.
Though personally however i donot like the concrete structure right in the middle of the sea,it somehow gives me a sense of claustrophobia.I think one of kahn's best work was the salk institute.however the focus of the movie was more about his turbulent personal life (ironically which wasn't his LIFE)!

DarK n Dreamy mEh?!

Insane,are we?!:))

I believe with different circles or groups of friends,the kind of comfort level you share comes through in the kind of crazy things you decide to do with them.Well below is a fragment of the insane things my friend ritz and I do;P!
we were kind of experimenting with 'new laptop features' n the discoveries were not only fascinating but well simply awesome!:D..so this is something we did a long time back!

Oh, simple thing

Somewhere only we know lyrics
I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete
Oh simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?
Oh simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know
Oh simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go? So why don't we go?
Oh, this could be the end of everything
So why don't we go somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know......

I understand the meaning of this song so much better now and its relevance !

superfluously superficial?

fake,superficiality,wannabe(?),pretentiousness are all so synonymous.Here i sit down and wonder what constitutes the 'traits' or let's say signs that bring out the idea of one being' fake'.well i concluded that there might be no conclusion to it..no particular thing that defines the idea of superficiality,what i see to be fake may not appear superficial to you.The context differs with each person.'oh look at her t-shirt,she's such a wannabe'(wow,T's do really define a person strongly:p)(???)
i can say people have different ways of expressing what they feel,they probably need an identity to express their own!Just maybe the person is very passionate about a certain thing and wants to express it in the way he/she is loud and clear.Thats probably why i adore artists(any form of).They can express themselves in SO many ways and even when their work is questioned,they are able to just be themselves.

So again,what is fake?

probably a few years back i used to loosely term some people as 'wannabe's..now i laugh at the very thought.Firstly,its not even a word..considering it to be one..what is wrong in aspiring to be something..maybe some people go out of the way to BE something but they yet can't be typecasted as that!because as cliched as this may sound,unless you aspire to be,how can you KNOW for sure what you believe in?!
how can you believe in something,
believe in it much to love it,to understand it.
So just one thing i'd like to end this post with is that i do agree that people put a mask either to hide their identity,out of fear,or like i mentioned to be expressive or just to appear to be plain nice(may or may not be genuine),but everyone in this world pretends,(as cynical as it may sound) but its true..even the person who identifies her friend to be 'fake' n still nice to her is equally or more superficial than her.
genuinely;D.

paranoia

Fear.
It's such a feeling that eats you up.
It stops you from thinking reasonably or in some cases taking risks!
i fear a lot of things.
But off recent there has been a kind of fear that i have learnt to embrace..I'm trying to bring down the wall!
Habit..addiction, whatever you might want to call it, can also be a root cause of fear.
and soI'm afraid of being habitual to it,is that weird?
I don't know but the fear is engulfing me and sO i have decided to BREAk this habit soon however difficult it might be to adjust again....
