Photo Credit: Darshan ShahI have cherished numerous journeys in my life, school life, some evening strolls, five years of architectural education, numerous trips to several places, two years of masters in urban studies, my first exchange programme to Istanbul or the most recent and intriguing years of my life at SEA, Mumbai as an assistant professor along with individual projects.
I must admit I have been more of a student than a teacher here. Adding to these journeys were some eye opening travel experiences which helped me explore various places and made me enjoy some time with myself.
I began with these writings on the 60th day in COVID 19 lockdown period in May 2020, to look back at some memories and learnings, to build on some newer itineraries for the future.
In 2024, I completed ten years of my engagement with the School of Environment and Architecture, as a teacher, as a learner, as a researcher, as an administrator.
