Four months into architecture, and honestly, I have learned a lot in these four months. So here are a few things that I have learned so far:

1.My observation has gotten a lot better. I have started observing simple things around me and have begun taking a pause by opening up all my five senses – smell, touch, sight, taste, and hearing.

2.I now find old structures to be beautiful – structures which I used to ignore before. All these beautiful buildings in Pune and small abandoned houses have started to fascinate me in all aspects.

3.I have learned to live in the moment. I now capture pictures in my mind. I used to do it before as well, but nowadays, I am doing it more as I have started to feel places.

4.Sleep and architecture don’t go hand in hand.

Through all of this, I think it has helped me to love my life even more nowadays. I’m happier; I come home, work, and sleep, which gives me happiness. The stress of submissions somehow makes me happy, maybe because I love to be busy. Semester 1 didn’t just help me improve my creativity, but it also helped me develop a lot as a person, and I am loving where I am as of now. I promise myself to be a sponge!
