My Learning… Page 3--------
I have a rudimentary smart phone with low RAM & ROM and a broken digital camera. I was at first thinking I shouldn’t have taken up this course as I am unable to download any of the recommended apps or a camera that takes good pictures. Then I thought to myself that if I call myself a creative person I have no business to be complaining about the tools that I have. That is the job of a bad worker.
I decided that I will do the course and I willdo all the assignments with the available tools at my disposal.
I am happy to say that I not only was able to complete each and every assignment, but was also able to think of more and more creative ways to do them with what I have.
I worked mainly with Photoshop, CorelDraw and even PowerPoint & discovered the various possibilities to do tasks at hand. My photographs were taken with my 8 mp camera in my phone.
Though I do believe that my learning would have been more enriched if I was able to use all the recommended apps, I also believe that I maximized my learning experience with what I had.

The real labyrinth
This is a place in Bombay called Bhuleshwar. Completely confusing and so crowded, all the time. I invariably get lost in the labyrinth of buildings and narrow lanes.
Incidently, the word for labyrinth in Hindi is ‘Bhul-bhulaiya’. The word ‘Bhul’ in Hindi means to forget. So I think the place is aptly named as Bhul-eshwar

Hats off to all my Architecture 1o1friends from all over the world.
What I enjoyed most during this course was the peer-to-peer evaluation.
It was a pleasure seeing the visualizations of my friends: The thought that went into the work, the trouble taken and the creativity.
Not just evaluating and seeing what other have done but also hearing from them about my work. Especially the criticisms. I appreciate those the most as it points to me where I have scope to improve.
Some of the work presented by my peers were really inspirational. Some inspired by their simplicity and others by their creativity.
All-in-all this course and work done by my peers have been a learning experience and I look forward to the next part eagerly.
Here, alongside, I have added a few of the many of my new found friends’ work that inspired me. It was a difficult task choosing what to present.
