ESPIONAGE!!!!!1

Well F1 is going through one of the biggest crisis ever.It has been going downhill ever since Michael retired.The viewer ship has gone down.the sport is becoming unpopular in the US and the exclusion of the Indy GP spells doom for the sport in the US.Its one of the most hi tech circuits..n one of schumis favourite.who can forget the "infamous" 6 car race in 2006.This is just the tip of the iceberg.Mclaren have just been found guilty of possessing confidential information belonging to Ferrari.One of the biggest teams of F1 with two of the best drivers in the business.This espionage is a crime of enormous proportions...this is he saddest moment ever in F1...more sadder than the death of legendary "Aryton Senna".Ideally Mclaren should have been banned in 2008..but they were let off with a 100mn$ fine n they were stripped off their constructors points..only because they r the only ones who can put some sort of a challenge to Ferrari..which is needed in order to keep the viewers hooked to F1.FIA has gone to great lengths to break the ferrari dominance even in the past..but mclaren will be let off easily..but maybe if it were a smaller team lke spyker or red bull.....the punishment would have been much harsher..but i m still amazed that for a change FIA was on Ferrari`s side.hmm....but still some people accuse ferrari of making F1 boring..but i think ferrari is the one who has managed to bring so much of talent,viewership and the most glorious era of F1 to the world!!


Forza Ferrari!! and hope F1 sees some better days in the near future.
P.S.:- This is for my ID sir..Prof. Vijay Eduankar...who passed away in August..Sir we will miss you terribly! May your soul rest in peace.

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...

Train of thought

I was running late for a discussion I had to attend in town.I rushed through some household chores, got dressed and left. 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...
