ZYNORIQUE

As I landed in Nagaland..probably I had enough cash left to last me a day or two..got myself enrolled into the house mess (Thankfully)..was busy with the admission hungama of my brothers....later cleared an old tool storage room,placed some tables and there we were, zynorique in action....We should not forget Rokosalie (our structural engineer) who contributed a Brand new Computer to us (Me and Atuo) from where we slowly rose from the dust(literally)...
The main reason why zynorique came into being was to create an environment which will be true...a working environment where people would be creative and at the same time do justice. It was a space where I thought there would be 4 grades of people
1. Omicron...is the grandmaster..the guardian and keeper of zynorique

2. Orion...is the Teacher who oversees the functioning of this environ

3. Orca...is the Professional who actually is the workhorse

4. rookie..is the trainee who would work under the Orca

To this Tilak added porkie(Tamil)to the last group.
I have always felt that maybe we shall prevail one day..and now I can see that we have really covered a lot of distances...Atuo, the Old Faithful, has stuck by to zynorique.through thick and thin...Kenei has also been very consistent, in fact, he is the most productive..Paul, Sanjog and Tilak always keep in touch...Prakash is missing, but I heard he is doing well..here at the Base, we still play videogames a lot, mostly multiplayer...we recently bought a playstation to improve our gaming skill...Saturday and Sunday are chillout days (i always felt that one can relax on sunday only if Saturday is a holiday)..but here the catch is, we work hard..all of us stay in my House so we work till 3-4am daily when we are designing..Also we try to stick to Academics as much as we can..Because without theory, practical would be shallow..As an Architect, I don't believe in all those arguments such as Form follows function blah blah blah...Both go hand in hand, A good Architect will find balance between the two...A bad Architect would either be stuck with FORM or FUNCTION..record........click....okay. Now I guess this intro should be enough to understand what or who we are. and As you read up, I shall try to present all our projects in an academic format..

Time passes slowly..the memories are as vivid as ever. we prefer to call it 'Visions'..contemplating an utopian situation...Paul's FM radio...radiocity?..I forgot...good music soon gave way to degenerative cacophonies....we switched on the radio just to check our hearings..sometime I personally wished I'd gone deaf but the prolonged Bhajan sessions outside Chitra's Office did help me digest 'kracknatic mushic'....Sanjog would drop in once in a while eternally carrying vivek's? project ...we would then spend sometime on Paul's Thesis counting the number of people using the facility at a time..Sanjog's observation of the central court led to an actual demonstration which we shall remember for sometime...There were endless discussions where we came to a lot of quotable conclusions which may be later disclosed in our biography, words of wisdom.....Tilak soon joined the fold..we kept on contemplating, by now Paul had cleared his Thesis...Khris had moved in with me...Atuo had gone back to hubli...We now cooked more food and contemplated less...Dhanwant came with interesting jokes once in a while..very soon, we were all tired of the situation we were in..For me personally, I needed a break ..then I could hang upside down to allow more blood flow into my brain...Bangalore with all its slide shows and architectural rhetorics was slowly poisoning my patience at the workplace..I needed to rebel at my own expense..it would be unfair to do so under anyone for that matter...The D-Day came...at this point of time,all road was leading to Rome..Paul was taking crash course in computers from Khris..Sanjog was missing...Tilak was around and helped..A new Chapter in the History of zynorique had just begun...

time: around 1:45 am
I guess Paul and I went searching for some snacks..and on the way back paul decided to take this narrow shortcut to my house...there was a storm drain with a 18" width stone slab above it..and probably you can guess what happened next! ..visualise..the front wheel has crossed the trench, the rear missed the stone slab but stopped just in time..my left leg is stretched trying to find some balance for the bike and paul too balancing the other end...since it was a hero honda splendour(bulky), i had to jump out to ensure that the bike fall slowly on one side without both of us falling into the pit...Now paul is rolling on the ground with his usual bout of laughter...imagine 1:45 am, in a residential backyard..Luckily we managed to sneak back home without catching the attention of our neighbours

This story had no beginning actually..it might be a primordial stuff. But for academic purpose, we can go back to that day, Paul came to my Hostel looking for Admission from Bhopal...maybe it was fate 'for the greater good of mankind' ..prior to that...sanjog came to me with a bus shelter design....later Atuo with his Thesis...Tilak with his golf course....Dhanwant and I working on a lake design...Well, we need to settle down at that little house in Indiranagar where we all came together....It is from here I shall narrate the remaining stories as instances but not necessarily in order.

the battle begins..Concepts vs Conditions...Vision vs Reality

Hi everyone,
Welcome to the Beautiful World on the other side of Sanity...In a few days from now, I shall post our updated projects...but for the moment I would like to 'test-post' a Pix to test the web page.
