# 0168 : after the floods

mumbai, india. august 2005
@ home, juhu

after the july 2005 floods that created havoc across the city. the house, being on the ground floor, had a couple of feet of water; overturned beds, a floating fridge and what not. once the waters receded and the muck was removed, began the rather painful process of getting everything back in order

mumbai, maharashtra, india. july 2007
krvia : 4th yr : sem vii : ad site : girgaon

at girgaon, one of the sites of the 4th yr - semester vii - architectural design project. some textures are a part of the construction - paint, plaster, brick. others are added by the inhabitants - glass windows, metal grills, pvc pipes, wooden railings, tiled roofs, aluminium chajjas. and yet others are natural - moss, creepres and plants - that grow as parasites clinging on to the structure for support and thriving on mositure and nutrition left back by the inhabitants.

# 0363 : when doors and windows were hard to draw

mumbai, maharashtra, india. october 2005

such a miscellaneous photo would have never made it to the internet had it not been for this blog. im actually surprised that i have this in my archives - it dates back to the time when i used to keep every photo that my camera clicked. i used to delete what i've clicked, only if there were repeated shots.
this is a friend's second year building-construction sheet on door windows. i probably clicked it, as a reference to draw the rebates, frames and styles! this now seems like eons ago ...
