Confessions of a MANGO freak

The first batch of mangoes arrived on sunday on de occassion of my birthday.As always i took the first bite and.................my mouth was filled wid de same sweet heavenly taste dat mesmerized me as a little kid.I ve looked forward to summer every year juss coz it means de arrival of mangoes.Dat bright orange colored,sweet,succulent,juicy,tender,soft king of fruits brings me delight everytime i eat it.dey say dat "The patience yields sweet fruits" im sure de person who coined dis must b referin to mangoes....after all we hav to wait frm july to march to get dem.No wonder its called de king of fruits.
Now dat de lllllooonnnngg wait is finally over Im gonna relish dem de whole summer until in june wen its de time to bid em good bye......n hope n pray dat in de nxt season de mangoes will b as abundant n sweet n juicy as dey hav been all this while

Walk On - Creating Public Experiences

This is my entry for the Berkley Prize Essay Competition 2011.  Theme:Architecture for the Public Good The evening sun sets gently. The dance of the orange -pink hues reflected in the water. A simple pleasure of life, the experience made memorable by the setting. The cool breeze flows unhindered, –free for everyone to enjoy, cutting across class and caste. This celebration of freedom and of public space is an everyday affair on the Carter road promenade, Mumbai.Once an abused and derelict waterfront, it is an epitome of social infrastructure development that I aim to explore and emulate for Mumbai`s 140 km long coastline.The burgeoning real estate prices and subsequent land grab spelt doom for Mumbai`s recreational spaces. Waterfronts -once the raison d’être of Mumbai fell into neglect, viewed only as dumping yards. Owing to the efforts of concerned citizens and activist -architect Mr P. K. Das, a fresh lease of life was infused into the claustrophobic urban fabric of Mumbai. For...

After a hectic ticketing ordeal I managed to run and catch the train to my destination.I caught my breath, plugged in my music and settled into my seat.I was enjoying the train ride looking around and letting the lyrics define the mood.  As the train pulled into the next stop I saw a disheveled lady from the window. She soon clambered into the compartment and took up the seat next to mine. I observed her feet, 2-3 pairs of socks put on along with her slippers. The legs of her trousers seemed inflated,like she`d put on a fat suit. No-wonder, as I noticed she was probably wearing every apparel she`d ever possessed. She had a smile on her dirt covered face,a mischievous grin as she looked at us and the shiny things. Unperturbed, I listened to my music.The train halted and there was a whiff of a foul odour. We realized it came from her. Cutting through my strawberry...
