what is the purpose of this blog?

Just some thing which i came across...

"Today, if there's frugality, I'm ready. I'll do corrugated again. It's fun to work that way, and it's easy. Why spend all the money for fancy details and stuff? You don't need it. You can get the passion with simpler things."

An extract from the book am reading....Essential texts: Louis Kahn

‘I think that music is more akin to architecture than either sculpture or painting. If you think of music, it is very, very close to architecture, and I think personally, that every architect should learn to write music. It is wonderful to realize that when a man writes music he is not enthralled by the beauty of what he sees as a kind of writing-he is enthralled by what he hears. The musician hears what he writes-he doesn’t see it. The architect comes over and looks at his drawings and says: “Oh! Isn’t it wonderful! I think I’ll make a blow-up of it and put it in my living room!” To the musician his writing means something beyond itself-it means sound, it means organization of sound. An architect must be able to read the life that comes into his works through his plans. His realm of spaces is analogous to a sheet of music. I think a sheet of music and an architectural plan are the same thing’.

The Monacco Grand Prix!

Lately, I have been thinking as to why our Murcielago has been running like an Ambassador for the past few months and whether we have put rock oil into its V12 turbocharged engine that has stalled our exciting Saturday sessions.

What's even more confusing was that although there was a slight drop in 3rd poll volumes, most of the pollers supported these sessions. Some even thought we served good food! I know that these sessions are only 1 person's obsession but you really can't blame Som for putting so much into it. After all, 40% people think it is a fantastic excuse to run away from home chores which makes me believe that we should have these sessions each Saturday! :) Of course,  why should these creative sessions be limited to just creative people. All non-creative people should enjoy them as well. So from now on, we shall have non-creative sessions on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Saturday of each month.

 In any case, we look forward to receiving your suggestions for all creative and non-creative sessions which will once again spike our excitement and qualify us for the Monacco Grand Prix!
