As the guest writer articles begin to come in slowly, this is one sent in by Roo, on the head first plunge into quicksand that architecture students take.   23.33 That's the time it hits you that the amount of work you've done is not enough. As architecture students, you'd think that we'd be used to sem end vivas. M'afraid not. This is the trauma our minds block, which only leads to cluelessness on how to proceed, when we reach the same point next year. And the trauma recurs again. This endless cycle is supposed to prepare you to deal with future clients I suppose, though I barely see how. Clients can be begged for extension of time. They can be subdued. They don't hold my future with them. I'd much rather not work than panic work. Sometimes I wonder if the famous ones lose their minds as much as we do with their workload. But then I suppose it's their interns I should be referring to. Unless we become the best, the most sought after, I'm afraid ther...

The following is an article sent in by my first guest writer. A beautifully crafted article that'll connect with some and ends on a note that all stories must end on, one of strength and renewed hope. Enjoy! At the end of two decades, I stood, mentally, at the top of a skyscraper. Partly because I've been playing too much batman, and partly because I'm an architecture student. But mostly, that would be the place I'd make my life changing decisions, because I was nyctophilic, and I preferred solitude. So, here I stood mentally, at the edge of a skyscraper, staring into the city's beautiful night sky, alone. Alone. It scared me. But it's also a habit. I didn't like mingling, I was what you'd call antisocial. Heck I was probably emotionally detached from everyone. Even my parents. Though I didn't have anything solid to prove that I was indeed emotionally detached, I really didn't want to get to it. My parents would always usher and encourage my enta...

I don't like wasting my vacations . Nobody does . But I do . Almost everyone I know does too . My life has been reduced to , and I have said this before in one of my older posts , playing games on the computer or my Ipod Touch and watching tv serials on star world ( excluding The bold and the beautiful , I have mentioned this very crucial detail in the old post too ) . The reason I have brought this up again is not because I have run out of ideas to blog . It's because I have run out of ideas to make something out of this extremely long vacation period ! If anyone does happen to have any good ideas please do let me know by mail . Which brings me to the more interesting part of this post . ( Interesting is a very very relative term . I know . But I'll go ahead and use it anyway ) . After the monumental failure of my guest writer idea ( no idea what that is right ? Yep . Hence monumental failure . I shall unveil my revamped plan for that in this post ) , I have come up with...

This blog ,which I proudly call mine , hit a 100 views a week or so ago ! yes ! woohoo ! As a matter of fact I even announced it in my previous post ! I even announced a worldwide party to celebrate my "success" !! Infact ,  I'm still in the hangover of that acheivement ! So much so , that I did not bother posting anything in the last week !  I was , as they say , resting on my laurels :-P Now , My guest blogger idea just never seems to take off ! Thanks to some lazy co-bloggers and even lazier main blogger ( yep , that's me ) ! Pestering them week after week for the last 2 weeks has had no effect and so ...well and so I guess i'll have to continue doing so till they agree to write ! Truth be told , they have agreed to write . Their problem is that they just can't think of anything to write about . And that's why I decided to help them today ! So co-bloggers listen up ! You can write about anything you want to! Some kid hit you with a balloon ? Blog it ! A...
