Ashoka and Aurangzeb

Very famous emperors who always thought they were INVINCIBLE. I might not be so well read or learned but know the story of these two legends.

The former after many killings, high placement, reaching the pinnacle remained empty from within. The Great War of Kalinga he did win but lost himself before the weeping plight of innocent children and wives of soldiers who were killed in the battle. Thus he surrendered to bigger powers and transformed. Rest is history.... NO!!! His actual history was written thereafter. The Great Emperor dethroned himself and became torchbearer of peace.....so, therefore even today every house has Ashoka tree, its leaves are considered pious and used in every pooja.

The latter power version, Aurangzeb continued using force. Forcefully converting any caste to Muslim. God loves love and peace but if peace is challenged one needs to follow principles of Gita i.e. Saam, Daam, Dand Bhed. Peace practitioner Guru Gobind Singhji did so… he believed in liberation and love. Not to enforce but respect each soul. He recites so in his verses, “jin prem kiyo tin hi prabh paayo”. Love for fellow beings not enforcing religion but Aurangzeb did not practice same hence and couldn't withstand Power of Govinda (power of Love and Respect) who then had to use 'Dand' and we know today Guru Gobind Singh ji and his father Guru Teg Bahadurji, as HIND KI CHADAR, saving pandits from terror of Aurangzeb, by killing terror itself.

Bottomline...if you cannot respect people, you cannot love anyone.

Get your intentions right...

hope you got it Right!

powered by Govinda.

Upcycle Concrete

Upcycle is an interesting "GREEN" practice nowadays followed by many!! For goods and commodities its good, but in the era of shifting sands, preferences, fast evolutionary changes, the need and demand for more excitement the malls, unlike old markets, have a very short life span. A decade is quite long, then they slowly organically fade out. Ahmedabad, unlike the metros is quick silver. The life span of malls is shorter than those in metros.. few which have swept off infront of our eyes in two decades are; Gulmohar, Fun Republic, Gallops etc. Gallops though with best brands, infrastructure couldn't survive the cost concious market. Two days ago I happened to step into Iscon mega Mall, Mega like the word suggests, its gigantic. Reliance hyper market was inaugurated on 15th August 2006 by Sh Mukesh Ambani, it was his big bang entry into retail segment. In this mega structure, today hardly 10% area is functional, rest is all unused. If Westside and Reliance are functional...

Parallel Worlds - Perspectives from Gwalior

India is a land of Gold mine for Archeologists and architects.. any region we travel, there are ballads and narratives found in every corner of the country. After various emperors who travelled and did their territory demarcation.. today the politically divided States as per the Sovereign Social Republic clearly reflect the culture and Unity in Diversity in various aspects, be it culture, space, region, food or architecture. Madhya Pradesh, today being the centre of the country is a classic example where you can find historical structures, monuments and living spaces from across eras.
