Let me be Silent....

Inspired by my visit to Udupi in September 2015.....

Let me be silent and introspect my own confusion.....

Let me lean on the laterite wall and introspect its relation to the earth below....

Let me stand under the manglore sloped roof during the hot day and introspect the relation of climate to it....

Let me see through the wooden trellis and introspect the relation of history to it.....

Let me spend time leisurely on the verandah steps facing the forecourt and introspect the relation of social behaviour to these elements....

Let me be engulfed with the peacefulness of these houses and introspect why we can’t generate these feelings in the cities?.....

Let me feel the simplicity of the mud, stone and wood only to realize how pretentious have I become as a sophisticated architect!.....

Let me feel the innocence of the people by looking at their eyes and introspect the relation of the environment to it....

Let me be silent and introspect why we change at the cost of losing something divine?....

Let me be silent and introspect where I am going?....

Let me be silent and pray for peace at last.....
