School *Sigh*

Every day for the past 10 years of my life I've woken up to my mom's yelling."Bhav its 7 30 what are you doing still in bed?Go get ready for school".Followed by my usual "Amma do I have to go to school today?".Even though I hated getting up in the morning,getting ready,sitting through all those chemistry periods I'm still going to miss it all.Right from wearing my white uniform(Which invariably turns brown at the end of the year with the many pesal ,icecream spills on it) to 4 o'clock vetti pechu.Even though every time The school declares a holiday I jump around I'm still going to miss it.Miss jumping around probably ;).The Memories In BVM are way more than I can write about.3rd standard I walked in as the "New kid".I hated school.I used to fake tummy aches and sit back at home.I would have hardly attended 100 days of school that year.I used to hate the noise,The bugging boys,The fact that people actually got up and ran on tables,the toilets,the teachers.I hated it all.Now,I love each and every thing in school(Excpet maybe the teachers).In 4th standard I was one of those people running on desks,I was one of the noise makes,I was one of the bugging people in class.I had fallen in love with what was to be my home for the next 10 years.The people were amazing.Each and every single blessed soul was so different.I had my share of fights,crying,slapping(!!??),Bitching..Everything!'ve gone through everything.I was a cry baby in 8th,back then I was the most sensitive thing on earth!I've been a tension party.I've been this person who lost her temper at the blink of an eye.And I'v been normal.All in BVM.How much ever I say "I'm glad I'm getting out" I sometimes wonder how scary the outside world is going to be.We've been safe gaurded from the outside knowing only what happens in our worlds.Thats a whole new topic.Now getting back to school.School brought out my many talents which I never knew existed.In the 6th standard I discovered a passion for basketball.I fell in love with the game.I played like a maniac.Im still in love with the game..Just dont mind to play often!7th standard I found true set of friends who I am sure will stick by me till the end.I remember The corridor lunches ,The paper fights,getting kicked out of bio class,Teachers day-where we locked our seniors who were supposed to be taking care of us, outside the class,Running behind those annoying guys and whacking them up(Yes,I was a big time dhada!).8th was different.I cried a lot(For silly things) it seems funny to think of it now.And I met new people(enter gaya and sumi!) Who are one among my best friends now!The bulls,The bench carving,The craziness(We were just kids!),The movies,The fun!Then came 9th.I don't remember much of that But I do remember the number of times me and harsha would have signed pacts not to tease each other and it would last for 5 minutes!10th came you would probably expect the tension to come with it but no we were as carefree as ever.But to be honest there was a teeny weeny bit of tension!1oth came went and boards were over!Holidays!The best part..I was never at home.Out always.Went all over chennai.Be it bessi beach or citi center or spencers we've been there and done it all.Then it all ended all too soon.11th came it went 11th was when I got to know a hell a lot of new people.I was eternally out.I freaked out and studied a little too.And the 12th..Tension of studying.Too much Of work.. More than I can handle!But still managed to have the time of my life!Never serious very playful.And me sristi gaya work the best together!Waking up at 5 and going back to sleep half an hour later or turning off my alarm and going to sleep!Bugging nitin in school!How Im going to miss all that!Writing this has been kind of like a walk down memory lane.School... *sigh*..

The beauty of Indian Architecure

India has produced a few of the most beautiful architectural wonders.India has a magnificent architectural legacy.One blog entry or a few pages will not be enough to describe Indian architecture.Here's and introduction to one of the most beautiful forms of architecture-Indian architecture.If you've noticed there are not many books on Indian architecture,the reason being most of the authors are western historian.It is difficult for the western historians to interpret Indian architecture.Indian architecture is consider somewhat "exotic".Basically Indian architecture goes all the way back to 2500 B.C.The first real civilization was the Indus valley civilization.The Indus valley civilization provides us with the first surviving evidence of towns or cities existing then.

It was a long time before traces of the Indus valley civilization were discovered.When digging to make railway lines in the foot of the Himalaya's the construction workers came upon a small hill of fire baked bricks.This lead to one of the best discoveries during which the archaeologists unearthed the remains of one of the oldest civilizations.And this was the beginning of the discovery of the greatest architectural beauty ever.The Indus valley people achieved to build cities and organize their buildings much before the Romans.Mohenjo-daro and harrapa are two cities from which all the other cities were replicated.Basically these cities were a mile square with protective walls all around the cities border,thus protecting it from sand storm,enemy's and the likes.The roads was constructed in such a way that made us understand that even at those times the people had the understanding of the basic traffic principles.The turnings were rounded so as to make the turning of carts a smoother process.The streets divided the city into 12 blocks.
Except for the west-central block,the basic unit of the city planning was individual houses .

This is basically how Indian architecture started and is just an introduction.There is much more to Indian architecture .
