Dear blog reader,
The first question any of you have , is one i can presume ;Who is this guy?
Well , my name is Roshan. I am a student of architecture, currently doing my internship in Bangalore, and looking to pursue my post graduation studies , in architecture.The blog is primarily intended to share the profound experiences i was lucky to encounter during my site study , for my architectural / urban design thesis; though the next series of posts are my first pieces of writing on a public forum , i will try to remain as professional as i can.

'21 days in Delhi' , what, on the outset , seemed like something which would just be a professional site study, and one which ended up in a journey , of disguise , countering deception, tackling abominable conditions, ranging from extreme weather conditions , to ill maintained sites, and of various other 'micro' events.
An architect , we were taught , is one who assumes , multiple roles , of a surveyor , a designer , an engineer , a socialist , historian, though the idea seemed quite preposterous, a few months into the profession , or its education, the experiences we carry along , almost inevitably changes our lives.

The experiences, I've gathered , is one that allowed me to use powers of critical thinking , on many levels , the popular term, 'street smartness', is based solely on the concept of logic, this specific idea, being used extensively throughout the quest.
To summarize, the posts directly correspond to the architecture, urban , social , economic , and cultural systems that form a series of organic layers, sometimes highly fragmented.
Thus , the writing will speak about the streets ,and its interlinkage , and the life of a remarkable city, that lives on the edge.
