RELATING& REALIZING

Why India? One of the most intriguing questions which is faced when we ponder upon the driving force behind the great voyagers like Colombus, Vasco da Gama, etc.. They were madly in pursuit of our home. But why? The inhumane gullies, the jammed rowdy roads, the chaos of the railway suburbia, stampedes, aggregate slums, yet the diverse culture - the only Saviour... To look down upon these is the general propensity, but to get in there and trying to change it - A mammoth task. You may have an impression on how the essay starts on such a trivially common silly note. But all of Correa’s master ideologies, scientific paradigms, introspective forms, ingenious interventions boils down to one keyhole - Reality. Ar. Charles Correa was down to earth. He got the clear picture of the status quo and started corelating reality.

Reality can be harsh or pleasant. Usually esoteric on the mind of an individual. Yes, for instance, “Bombay is a great place to live, if you’re rich enough.. What if you are poor.” This line rings in your ears and is well placed in Correa’s sensitive short film “City on the Water”. Inspired by these sensitive stiigmata, This piece of explication aims to provide an Abstract on “Correa Realizing Reality”. Correa is synonymous to Gandhi Ashram, Jawahar Kala Kendra, Kanjenjunga, etc,,, There are several articles aimed at providing detailed articulation to his spaces. The internal delusional marvel is almost forgotten, i.e. Correa’s perception which we can explore ourselves.
