A poet
translates his fantasy into couplets and verses,so does a writer,actually
aspiring to see his thoughts take shape,which, sometimes, is materialized by
some thoughtful filmmakers.Every profession is conceptualized and visualised as
a source of earning livelihood but the one that leaves an indelible mark on the
society,is revered.Nature is ultimate but man has created his own
infrastructure over millions of years,though inspired from God’s
creations,which has dotted the earthscape, the dominant and very basic amongst
which, is a shelter. It traces its origin to the mythological times and Lord
Vishwakarma is credited to have designed many buildings and is recognized as
the architect of our preceding Yugs.This legacy has been carried forward by the
architect fraternity,the world over,resulting into the mushrooming of numerous
marvels and masterpieces, scattered over the globe.
“Architecture”, as a profession,involves tremendous effort, the pain of which is nullified,once one’s dream project,creates an impact,by its impressive existence,on ground.It’s like nurturing a tender seed till it blooms into a flowering tree, or more appropriately,a toddler,till he is settled in life. This journey of churning out a full-fledged professional,out of a class 12th amateur,is tasking and involves the hardwork of parents,,well qualified and experienced teachers and, of course,dedicated students,who are to be groomed meticulously,to become proficient professionals.
