Sketches - Vol.86(6), June - Mumbai Indian Institute of Architects 2021 - 73-76p.
Whether at college or while actually executing a project as a profes-
sional, in my sub-conscience, there was a secret place, unexplored, yet constant-
ly evolving. And it is from here that ideas nurtured, unknowingly, till they could
be brought to fruition. Some of these led to actual architectural projects, but
there were yet others which could be expressed through drawings and sketches
alone. The sketches might depict the reality of a temple amidst nature unseen by
the camera lens or they might illustrate castles in the air of my childhood imag-
ination.
Many a time, until the pencil touches paper, I myself do not know what
it is that will issue forth. And it is this unpredictability that I actually enjoy. The
pictures created hold a magical quality for me; without the constraints of physi-
cal rules, all become a reality on a blank piece of paper.
