bottled madness.

The list of stupid reasons people have given me about drinking "bottled water" are just increasing. I'm almost at a point where I'd like to carry a knife around to threaten people who drink out of bottles, and then conveniently throw it out.

There is a reason that corporations are cashing in on this billion-dollar industry, there is a reason the world is running out of potable water, there is a reason this really unreasonable stupid system works.

YOU. 

you, tourist with a bottle in your hand, you IT employee who thinks it's your bloomin' birthright to have bottled water when perfectly good potable water comes out of your taps. You lazy ass commuter who thinks buying water is better then carrying it, YOU.

So don't give me rubbish about how it "tastes" better, is cleaner and "healthy"...and if want to argue this, please do, I'd be happy to counter. (but because I'm really really pissed off right now - please watch Tapped before you say anything or else your head will get bitten off)

I seem to be a verb...

Environment's and man's future - by the visionary genius of our time.

I came across this book, randomly lying around in my sister's Tarnaka apartment a few years ago. I was interested, only because I saw fuller's face on it. I looked through it, took it home, and forgot about it. It has been on the back of my mind, and somehow I just knew I should carry it with me here. I carried 2 books to Chicago from hyderabad, this was one of them. I am now fascinated and am going to make a set of my own graphics with stuff in this book....everyday, as I uncover more interesting ideas from this book, I shall make them my own. They are not going to be like the book, the whole collection is what makes them what it is, I just want to get the ideas from this book out there.
Hope whoever comes across these like them.

I seem to be a verb...the cover page? or the back page? A linear book!

Nari Gandhi, Lonavla, Mudh Island and other stories

I am going to start with an experience that I really treasure. Early 2009. Lunavla. Mumbai, 2 Nari Gandhi houses. Great people.

For those who are not familiar with the work of Nari Gandhi, please see this link. He was a man of few words, and like him, I am not going to say much. I hope the photographs speak for themselves.

I might add a few more details when I can...Thanks to Gurjit for the trip, it changed a lot of my perspectives on architecture, and some other things. 

:D

I have decided that this blog needs more attention. so. re-attention.
here goes.
