After deconstruction in architecture there will be Debrism.
The combination of left overs of the past and the right overs of the future. No one dare changes anything. Its a stand still. We all will look at one another in peace. There will not be any more questions. The fact that human brain is outdated will be realised. Adaptation will be the new innovation. Parasites will be appreciated. Age will be the gender and time will be ignored. Spaces will generate itself without human intervention. Independence will be overrated. Creativity as a word ceases to exist. And thus the dawn of a new race. 
Its the
 GREY RACE.

The direction in which your nose points is the one which you can trust.
Raju Shastra !

Somebody should have failed Raju at the right time !
Future Assured In Life = FAIL
Uture Ssured n ife = 1




Who ever we are in life,
Batterie life is the biggest issue with most devices !










 People always misunderstand you.
'Understanding you' is theoretical position or an ideal state.

Oh and english has this word called "understood."

Raju feels digital technology got it all wrong its not about
colour, texture, pattern
nor is it
rhythm, balance, contrast, harmony
its always about the wind that hits your face.


This is photography without purpose.
This is capitalistic photography.
It says 
Raju has a high resolution sensor (an expensive camera),
Raju has a wide lens, 
Raju went to Jaisalmer,
Raju can make blue skys look too blue.
Raju has pseudo-interested in architecture.

What is Architecture ! Wait to watch in the Next Episode !



ArchArchitecture edueducationtion is becbecoming rereredundant daday by dayay. 
or is it minminute by minminute,
or yearear by yearear,
or seconond by seconond
or 
was it alalways redundundundant.

"Terrorism is not an alternative power, 
it is nothing except the metaphor of this almost suicidal return of Western power on itself."

Technology always has its own aesthetic mind !

Perception is always Per-capita !


Aa Aaaaa 
Ee Eeeeeeeeeeeee
Uu Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Since we have two eyes we never see things straight frontal everything is at an angle but 
our camera can see things straight on frontal.

Such stupid logic can be called 'a theory'. Raju has been trying to prove it.

Usually cleaning becomes the process of making things dirty.

Photography is not always about capturing things you cant do. 
Horrible ! 


Raju once said the only question is "Who am I ?"
Sorry, there is one more question "Are you having fun ?"

Some people and institutions are a box full of human shit.
Raju has entered the box on a provisional basis.

Raju : Let me try to convert shit into useful bio-gas.
Box : Who said shit is not useful.



Digital = 0 and 1
Human = X and Y

The only difference is digital has done a phd and humans have not.


You know what is being literal ?

The above photo shows how to come out of the circle and use a square as a stepping stone towards unlocking the door.



If you ignore the human element Raju will never forgive you.

Architectural education and practice is only as open as the society in which it happens.



The window is closed but Raju just cant say it aloud !

We have to ban blind vehicles,
We need vehicles with a vision.

Picture in picture is like the Raju that lives inside Raju.

Discrimination makes us human !

A concept as simple as rising in love.
LONELINESS

A concept as simple as falling in love.
=
SOLITUDE


Twice in no time,
A Girl who loved the first photo,
A Boy who owned the second shop,
Made love and their Aunt had a kid called
 - PHOTOSHOP -

So tell me how many times did they make love?



When you lose interest, life is let loose !
Did Raju add an O or a 0 ! 

An O was walking through Mumbai Metro it came out as 0. 
Am I right Helvetica?

"Everybody loves Lipstick !"


Communism has its limit. 
Anyways red is not the only available colour.

Raju is always confused between all the isms. 

 Future is always unpredictable and past is meant for retrospection.

When we think we go in loops ! 
When we design we go in loops !
But when we shit it goes straight down !

Maybe Newtons theory is restricted to apple trees.


An 'Intellectual' is a mindset where you know yourself the most.
Its got nothing to do with education, knowledge, ideas, creativity or power.

Who am I ?

The one and only question in the world !


Sometimes we have to pull our own cheeks and tongue out to see ourself in the mirror.

"If there are some who talk the same language as myself, then why should I neglect their interests for the sake of some other group of people who are alien and remote? they have their own 'gods and idols' and we have nothing in common. [...] If you try to please audiences, uncritically accepting their tastes, it can only mean that you have no respect for them: that you simply want to collect their money."                     - Andrey Tarkowsky (Russian Filmmaker)
