“ V r u t a n t a ” This magazine is about showcasing the smallest to the biggest work done by the students of BMCA. The simple journey from a point on paper to making big drawings is what this magazine exhibits throughout. The current situation of the world has made us realise that the tiniest needle is as important as a big monument. This predicament has brought out the best in the pupils of this institution’s creative and architectural abilities. This publication highlights a handful of the many amazing works created by aspiring architects. The name “vrutanta” refers to a storey (kahaani), which is exactly what this magazine represents for the institute. The tale of every student who put in a lot of effort during the design of this magazine. The various and distinct characteristics of students resulted in this remarkable magazine. The magazine is one of the most important collaborative projects undertaken by the student body and faculty. Gathering all of the work and combining the various mediums and styles of work into one versatile magazine is a first of its kind. This entire endeavour of creating this magazine from “dot to design” is entirely new for the entire institute, as it has never been done before. This magazine depicts the act of diving into the unknown and grabbing a wonderful piece of art throughout. The tale of the students’ and institute’s progress is represented in the pages that follow. We hope you uncover your own tales, memories, and adventures from your own time. Let us take you on a journey through our history.

Vatsal Vekariya President “ It is my absolute pleasure to be associated with our college’s first publication. As a student we constantly are under the pressure of projects, assignments and exams and tend to lose track of what can be done in that time. It gives me immense joy and satisfaction to present to you First edition of the magazine. Compiling a magazine together requires a lot of dedication, talent and teamwork, hence it is no piece of cake. The magazine showcases the amalgamation of different talents and skills of our students and faculties. It is not just a vague pile of art and achievements, but also a collection of the beautiful memories we have created along the road.”

Hepil Vekariya Treasurer “ Being a treasurer, comes with a lot of great responsibilities. Organizing fundraising events, managing accounts, implementing budgets and keeping track of receipts. I will continue in this spirit and address some of the specific areas that may still need some improvements. Working with the board members and college faculty it gave me lot of leadership experience and made me a well rounded person. I am truly blessed that I got this incredible opportunity to serve as an treasurer for our college. I am sure all this experience will help me in my near future.

I was truly satisfied to work with the magazinwhen the idea was at first offered to me. I sat on the college foyer, pondering how I would make this magazine the best it could be. Coming right to the primary draft, I understood it would not have been easy to get this thing going. It’s anything but a tremendous exertion for us to create the best magazine while too shuffling our Academics and the current situation with the world, endeavoring to extract the most creativity from all that we had researched. I’m thankful to each and every individual who endeavored to make it occur.

With the distribution of this magazine, an exceptional groundbreaking thought was brought to the school. I understood we planned to construct a full plan out of this little idea the day we consented to name the magazine “vritanta.” This was a rare chance to lead something major while working with so numerous people. Since we started chipping away at it, it’s anything but a rollercoaster ride. This magazine is the exertion of our entire establishment, and we are excited to have the option to impart it to everybody.

Gunjan Bhaware

Vrutant was published to exhibit the creativity of us as a student and relive the memories made throughout the year. It gave me the chance to engage with the college community and explore the different spheres of student lives. It is designed to interconnect the different aspects of our lives, with every page telling a new story. The sincere efforts put in by our editors, digital designers, photographers, and other team members have played a huge part in making this magazine possible.

Shagun Kothari

A wonderful vital idea was brought to the college. I got a handle on we wanted to manufacture a full strategy out of this little thought the day we assented to name the magazine “vrutanta”. This was a momentous opportunity to lead something major while working with so various individuals. Since we began managing it, it’s anything but’s a rollercoaster ride. With each page made constantly, we came whenever closer to the acknowledgement of this exceptional magazine, and I grew more dedicated to it.

Students often reach a saturation point in their academic life where they are unable to explore their creativity to the extreme. One such opportunity has arisen for us to collect our learning experiences and works, and present them in a cohesive manner in our first college magazine, Vrutanta. The magazine is the culmination of our knowledge, skills, and experiences throughout our architectural journey at Bhagwan Mahavir College of Architecture. It definitely proved to be challenging as it did get us lost in a pool of infinite memories and revisions, yet it made us look through our academic life and get in touch with our creative side. These stories, tales, and experiences are what inspire us to work and have given rise to Vritant - an ensemble of our creations and statements to the world. The overwhelming response for our students, the guidance from our faculties, and the support from our peers is what made the magazine possible! We regret that the journey in this endeavor has come to an end, thus we wish for more opportunities to represent our college as well as recreate the cherished memories we have created till today! From the bridging barriers between students to become the people who made this successful,

In Pondicherry an old 18th century town south of Chennai on the Indian Ocean. The architect, Antonin Raymond was to design a guest house for the disciples of the Ashram which would include living and sleeping accommodation, workrooms and utility rooms and design it in a way to keep the inside as cool as possible without mechanical aid. He solved the problem by covering the entire wall surface with operable, horizontal louvres which give protection against the sun and wind, but allow ventilation. The body of the building is of reinforced concrete. The room itself is furnished austerely in Nakashima-made woodwork— among the first he ever designed—consisting mostly of a bed, desk, and closet. In the body of a building, it is possible to experience a spiritual moment. TRAFFIC POLICE

Design Thesis Studio Goa International International Airport Airport Mopa, Goa Batch 2015, Semester 10. Sonu Jangid, Year 2020 In general, other than airports being stressful, it also encounters few very special moments that are truly to be cherished. such moments are to be beautifully framed with Architecture and should be given considerations. Standing as the emblem of future representation, Airports must deal with energy conservation e�ectively and focus on sustain ability. It must incorporate history, tradition and cultural values as it acts as a gateway to the country. Airports must be designed extremely climate responsive as it can economically benefit the Airport and also help reduce carbon foot print. The runways must be carefully designed as to accommodate maximum number of flights at the same time and make sure the local wind patterns help the plane in landing and taking o, which reduces fuel consumption and flight delays. Airports must be stress free and the Architecture has to make sure of it.

As we can see in the above plan there are three major constrcuted wetlands which are used as water harvesting infrastucture in the design.There are about 140 different varities of plants and trees, 15 Terrestrial birds, 41 Butterflies, 24 fishes, 14 Native aquatic birds are used in the park for creating micro-climate as climate is tropical.There are multiple areas and observation towers for people for researching as well as for photography of excotic birds. Below section is showing the relationship of modules with the context design as well as how artifical floating island can be use not only for research but also for purifing water. The other noticeable thing is using of biodiversit green roof for attracting inscets and birds

Design -5 ShauryaStudio SmarakShaurya National Smarak War Memorial Karnik Gupta, Batch 2019 Karnik Gupta, Batch 2017, Semester 5 To design a City Museum to give tribute to those Fallen while protecting our Nation. A City Museum was proposed in Attari near Amritsar, Punjab with a motive to make people realize the untold sacrifice made by a soldier as well as the amount of destruction caused by war. Among the four blocks, the first one is reserved for only Private spaces. i.e., the Admin area, Control room, and the workshop area is a semi-private space. The Third and Fourth block has been designed to become a public plaza accomodating Souvenir Shop, Library, Sena Gallery and a Cafe. “War

creates

Hindrance

Peace.”

To show the urgencies during a war the materials and form of the structure were needed to look much complex and chaotic which is totally in contrast with the proposed site context, which doesn’t lacks structure in its surroundings.

Design Studio - 2 Performing Arts Arts Center Center Sindhrot, Vadodara Performing Nimit Dadhania, Batch 2017, Semester II. Nimit Dadhania, Year 2017

Designed with the principle of Bio-mimicry as the exercise asked for; this performing arts center located in the outskirts of Vadodara is inspired by the form and function of the mammals known as Armadillos. The plan and the sections translate the form of Armadillo to bring in light and air; making the space more inhabitable. The porosity achieved helps in a better functioning of the building. The program consisted of studios to learn different performance arts and an amphitheatre to perform. The roof of the building tries to stay together by a system of inverted beams on both sided of the strip and then supported byt the columnns. Each of the studios open into a green space adjaccent to them.

Design Studio - 1 Artist Artist Studio Studio Ashwini Ramesh Kumar, Batch 2017, Semester X Ashwini Ramesh Kumar, Year 2017

The environment required for a painter to practice his/her art in requires tranquility, visual connectivity and authenticity. An artist studio inspired from the design language created by Mario Botta had been designed for our Studio I. The conceptualisation was derived from the environment on site and Botta’s principles. Therefore, a cohesive yet private spatial configuration was achieved via courtyards and foldable windows to establish a sync between the artist, the visitor, the art and the nature enclosed within it.

My Impressions of Ayn Rand’s “The Fountainhead” Mitiksha Jain, Batch 2017 This book was recommended to me by a teacher and a friend. And I would say I am quite impressed by their reference and was glad to read this fabulous book. The book is a complete version of everything a man or creator inside a man goes through in his/her life course. The story centres around two classmates who are studying architecture at a prestigious college. The work they presented outlined the virtue of Individualism V/s Collectivism. Being the topper, Peter Keating was praised and granted to work with one of the great architects in the city. The author has beautifully made me experience the process of how architects worked and how did architecture flourish in early America. Howard Roark left the school just one year before completion. The qualities shown by him are exemplary of how a man should be. He is described to be self-sufficient who believed in finding true joy by being himself and standing in for one’s belief. The author has developed purely deep-rooted characters in this novel. She explained how there are two types of people in this world: “creator” and “second-handers". The person who takes credit for other’s handwork, considers himself to be mediocre but great in other’s eyes. He works for money. On other hand, the creator is not prompted to do to serve others, but for his Truth. Above everything, and against all mankind, he stood for the truth. Altruism, a doctrine that demands that one lives for others and should put others before oneself. From starting of evolution, the creator invented the wheels and the second-handers responded by introducing altruism. The creator denied, protested, yet exploited and hence moved forward with his energy. The story has described briefly how altruism has started poisoning daily life. The author has truly captured the essence of everything she intended to say. She glorified the subjects of Objectivism, individualism, and Collectivism. She believed a man should be a man of his words, his work, and his beliefs. His character is all that defines him. His achievements are his noblest activity with his happiness to be the moral of his living. d She developed the characters with a passionate act of analysing and criticizing. Peter Keating, described as egotist, absurd, all a man should not be and he does not know it. Howard Roark, described as self-confident, a man of his beliefs, and all a man should be. The story grows with their professional life and private too. It is a great amalgamation of excitement, love, anger as well as truth. She uncovers the sham of altruism, the positivity of originality, the reinforcement of love and truth. This book has changed my perspective about individualism. It helped me recognize my strength i.e., being a person of the word, responsible for my happiness. The author has beautifully explained these crucial aspects in the cut-throat stream like architecture. It is upon us what to be and how to be defined as. It revoked the fire of being a creator, a designer inside me. The singularity of oneness is so powerful, dangerous as well as lonely. It was a mix of emotions to write about what I felt while reading this magnificent book, felt whether I would be able to fulfil the legacy. Thank you for this opportunity.

ArchDais The House Karnik Karnik Gupta, Gupta, Batch Batch 2017 2017 “Amongst this plethora of existing styles of house designs, we at Archdais, seek to understand your approach of space-making for the modern bungalow.” While addressing these elements, how does it accommodate the functions and the spaces of the classic concept of the ‘house’? How does the design address the play of a typical household? With an aim to address these questions, this competition seeks to understand your idea of thehouse design, in the context of the location you select. It encourages participants to rethink the basic functionality of the house, and explore their own notions of what a ‘home’ is. In that respect, Every architecture student or professional has, at least once in their course, designed the classic ‘house’ or‘Bungalow’; be it for professional or academic purposes. Hence, we urge architects to unwind back, and think through their earlier projects, and ask if these designs allow the above questions to be answered. The competition welcomes any project the participant may have done in the past, ones actually constructed; or just conceptualized.

Ashwini Ramesh Kumar and Nisarg Pandey, Batch 2017, Semester X. Ashwini Ramesh Kumar & Nisarg Pandey, Batch 2017 As the world is continuously transforming and expanding, the amount of data and information created everyday is also increasing constantly. Libraries as an educational incubator is a space that not only sheds light on conventional means of knowledge but also encourages its users to interact, share ideas and grow together. Rather than accepting urban migration as agiven, a library can be designed with an aim to restore dignity and induce development. The task was to design a Tiny Library which would be iconic and accomodate learning needs through books and e-library for 50 users. The built up area was set to a maximum of 250 sq.m. The space would be designed as a centralized think tank for the local communities with a focus on public interactions and community development. Ground Floor Plan.

Quotes on SHE Madhvi Patel, Batch 2016 “IMAGINE

“Avengeful as she seemed,

Because imaginations are interesting more then

No one knew she had a heart of kindness

reality always,

Killed with smile and saved with tears

the only weapon in this game of reality,

She was the roar everyone feared.”

If not used with care...

-------------------------------------------------------

Back fires and burns faces miserable,

“Everyone feared her claws

and lets you live longer then you could imagine,

And adored her beauty

Gives you reason to live n worries to die for,

Bt the irony stated

And when amalgamated properly makes life

She was tigress in a princess gown”

beautiful hell...” -------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------“Open her claws she will protect you

“She had a shield of herself

Adore her beauty she will rise for yu

Guarding her soul

Smile to her she will kill for yu

For that apocalypse in her

Tie her up and she will rip every bit of yu .”

Was too dangerous for world.” -------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------“A tigress in disguise She loved playing fool

“Fought her own battles ruled her own kingdom

A queen in her kingdom

The ability of a lady the innocence of a child

She loved killing blues.”

She was the star to her own sky” ------------------------------------------------------“Dreadful as a tigress, she had her claws Little did people know, she was a child inside the core.” ------------------------------------------------------“She was something everyone wanted Bt the fire inside her kept fears away For one day she laughed and let all out For it was her dream to b free.” -------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------“For the happiness she felt was above everything else She had lived her dream all for herself.” ------------------------------------------------------“Life is not what we always expect Bt it is also not what we dont expect The best combination of expected things at unexpected times is called LIFE” ------------------------------------------------------Sometimes you have to be what you are, And not what you have been...

“Things which help you sleep smiling at

For the world will always judge you for what

night yet keep you awake enough to live

you are not

the day are the things worth worrying

And the ones close to your heart will find a way

about.”

to embrace you the way you are... #BE #BEYOURSELF

Role of Architecture in Nation Building Aayushi Bajaj, Batch 2016 Just providing four walls and roof for human habitation defines architecture? Or Do decent skyline are the marks of ‘nation building’? The Clearly evident answer is ‘NO’. Neither four walls and roof can define architecture nor magnificent skyline are the marks of nation building because most of the buildings in that skyline are of ancient period which is considered the identity of that place but ‘nation building’ is a matter of current affair and if we ask nations today to come up with their current skyline most of them would lose their identity to glass facades. Then how the relation of architecture and nation building works? Architecture is a conjunction between people and nation as it carries power of building environment and management at basic ground level like public parking or toilet to highly functional private industry and mansions; from roadside footpath to bridges and express highways. This vast domain affects people of all strata, age groups and culture residing in nation which can bring them under one umbrella of coexistence which means architecture can create evocative sense of democracy. Architecture never deliver its message direct to a person it always gets surpassed by the sense of realization of any emotion it is serving to. It always stirs emotion that can lead to pluralistic culture respecting each other’s identity, dignity, freedom, and public participation are the basic criteria of democracy. But How can architecture affect to people of nation? There are very few things as concept surviving in society having relevance to 27BC which is garden. If we talk about gardens as a concept, it has been through a long way of transformation. It started as a symbol of royalty to 16th century public gardens to 21st century kitchen gardens and urban buffer space. This concept has travelled to every corner of world, wherever human - existence can be noted. It developed its own language by adapting to environmental and cultural values. Basically, this concept has evolved with time satisfying all criteria of human race. Some gardens were built for aesthetic, some for community building and other just for gardening. People started to come together for same purpose of relaxing, enriching, and building a society which shares a sense of unity, love and culture with each other. Beside all this, garden turn out to be anchor to a city which carries all the emotion of the people living in city. It works as stress burst to chaotic and rushed lifestyle of city and creates a vulnerable side to it. Now a day’s garden is converted into more reductive form of it which make it more user friendly. So, what aspects help architecture to contribute fulfilling its role towards nation? Firstly, architecture should be convenient and user friendly it should build a sense of belonging to that space. It should be thought of every criteria of user using that building. It should not just serve the aesthetic part of it. Convenience comes with solving the problem of the users keeping them in mind and having empathy towards them automatically makes the art more beautiful and worth living it. Secondly, architecture should be thought of surrounding which includes environment and local context. It should be based on images that are rooted in the common memory, that is the phenomenologically authentic ground of architecture. Every context is different from one another which build its own constrain and benefits giving it individuality and authenticity to its existence. One should never forget that their building is also a part of streetscape which became the intangible aspect of attracting user to their building beside the purpose of the building. Third, architecture is an art to be preserved so that it can have a material existence and the history of culture can be conserved. Ancient architecture was culture dominated that is the major reason why each element of building strongly reflects its authenticity and beauty. reflects it strongly in every element of building. The society is detached from culture, tradition and identity owing to rapid change in technology and lifestyle. This brings out the importance to stay rooted otherwise it will come out as an identity crisis. To avoid this crisis, one should create integration of culture, lifestyle, and technology. Conclusion, Nation building is a vast subject which keeps on changing its dynamic in every situation of its time. Robert Kaplan suggests that: "We shouldn't try to ﬁx a whole society; rather, we should identify a few key elements in it, and ﬁx them” which makes it an endless progress and also it makes us think about all the timeless and sustainable solutions to problems which can evolve with time without losing its purpose. Architecture plays a dual role where it embraces the beauty of ancient architecture and encou encourages the aesthetics provided by the modern development.

Empowerment A Simple Term Bharg Patel, Batch 2014

Empowerment has been a really big and a mainstream topic these days. What exactly do they mean with the word empowerment. Who are all these feminists. What is with them taking things in a whiplash on any given instance? From being an equalist who say that Africa was liberated by NelSON MANdela, to being a feminist who rather would have loved it even more if it was nelDAUGHTER WOMANdela… jokes apart. The pun is going viral and is going on a dangerous level. Does it need to be stopped. Or does it need to be controlled and in what manner. Rape cases, Dowry, Equal Pay, Social respect, equal rights. All these are those little as well as genuine requests they are talking to deal with. The question still awaits to be answered is “In What Manner”. Recently there have been a lot of supports regarding the same thoughts that women as well are equally strong and they should too be respected as such. Is the government doing nothing for empowering women? Yes they are doing. One complain by a woman be it dowry case, be it a rape case, be it any harassment case against any MAN. He is arrested immediately and is considered to be a potential criminal even if the crime is proved or not. Let’s for an instance think he was guilty, it was good that he was arrested but what if he was NOT GUILTY? Tough to believe? A man always needs to be guilty? l All the laws made by the government for the protection of women and to provide them justice are in fact used as weapon by many people. There are many false cases against men. There was a man named Syed Ahmed Makhdoom who committed suicide after getting tired of fighting false dowry cases against him and his separation from his beloved son in April 2009. 2 people hanged themselves after they were asked to pay 50 lakhs for ongoing dowry case. A law was made by supreme court for protection of married women from harassment and molestation in name of dowry from her husband in 1998, which is now the most misused law in today’s date. These laws are used as weapon by some people which were made to shield the women. Influenced by the misuse of these laws the rates of divorce has now increased to 30 % to 40 %. More than 23 lakh people in total are arrested under these acts and from that more than 18 lakhs are men, these accused men are fathers of a girl or a brother of a woman, or a 90-yr. old or a 15-16 yr. old boys just because their names were written in those complaints. It doesn’t matter if th did it or not, if they were guilty or not they are arrested. they As per survey done recently, among the rape cases filed, 53% of them were false cases. In 40% cases the girl willingly stayed with the man and in only 15% cases the accused was actually found guilty. So, whom do we need empowerment for? So, which gender is weaker these days… Are we in need of Women empowerment? Do we need to give reservations everywhere, reservations according to me isn’t the way of empowering? Getting something totally for free makes the person weaker. Women can’t fight back because they’re not let to fight back instead wars are fought for them; On behalf of them. You can’t let Sachin Tendulkar practice cricket on behalf of you and think that you’ll learn cricket eventually.

“In the long history of humankind (and animal kind, too) those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed.” - Charles Darwin Everything in the universe has been changing and improving itself since the beginning of time. Everything has been exposed to various wonders of technology for more features to be added to its basic fundamental body. Whatever additions have been made, have either proved to be beneficial for the human civilization as well as harmful and catastrophic for us and our environment. But what about the creations we have given birth to? Technology, Biotechnology, Philosophy, Art, and Culture have all been given existence due to the concept of evolution. The architecture created over the eons and centuries has always been for the primary user: humans. Now, in the lightning-fast world, what kind of form will architecture take? Will it be a scene out of Blade Runner or will be like a jungle along with the humans? Architecture as a Pendulum: Since the eras of architecture have been established, like modernism, post-modernism, brutalism, etc., we have always looked up to them as examples and epitomes of the perfect representation of standards. The Greek or Roman style of high volumes with tapering columns signifying power, stability, and strength are now huge institutional buildings like museums, banks, libraries, and schools. But still, architects are now pushing towards innovation and technical designs which would be sustainable all around. This thrust we keep putting on our talent and years of study knowledge forces us to come up with more new ideas and transformations for a better future and new tomorrow. But what happens when the pendulum moves towards, inspiration? The line between innovation and inspiration becomes blurred. We start copying these styles and produce the same style of buildings that lose their original charm. The Actual Innovation: Why is there is a difference between a building built by the colonials and a building built by Zaha Hadid? The language and the feelings tied to the building are completely different in both cases. The colonial-style building has a history, struggles, power representation attached to it while a building built by Zaha Hadid is a symbol of the future mindset of the people. The language differences throughout diverse locations have caused the predictable thinking of a person’s perception of architecture to completely change and cross boundaries! Now the speed of architectural development has to reach the speed of communication. That includes the amount of hard work done to produce a design and its implementation on site. Due to the growing population as well, people will to now grow vertically or reclaim the waters and create shelters that would sustain themselves yet not disrupt the sense of community. What to expect and envision? Our expectations may not be fulfilled completely but our visions would be achieved and may even go beyond them! Road transits may become non-existent and air traffic would become a major point for transportation problems. We may expect a communal and close-knit architectural response due to indifferences prevailing over us but what we would get is sky-high skyscrapers with eco-systems and artificial habitats. Adaptability will become a feature of human civilization. Creating housings and other facilities with artificial ecosystems will become the most important goal of future designers and environmentalists. How tall can it be? How much energy will it consume and save? How much capital would be used in construction? These three questions will become the most common questions in the future. In the end, adaptability, evolution, and mass capitalism are what would one see in the future of architecture.

Human - Nature Relationship Articles

HUMAN-NATURE RELATIONSHIP 2018, Semester VII. Shagun Kothari, Batch 2018

Kampung Admiralty in Singapore by WOHA Architects

Monika Sathe Photography

The Covid-19 has been on a rampage across the globe causing massive damage to health care and livelihood. Is it a boon or bane for nature? Nature has been signaling the humans all along before the pandemic even started but mankind took it lightly and kept on acting selfishly which resulted in the peak of global warming and the water cycle, which is now affecting humans as well. The Covid-19 has its positive effects as It taught us to value everything around us be it living or not, be it our family or animals or nature or the very home we live in. While we were confined to our homes, nature also gave positive signals because of no pollution whatsoever caused by humans, resulting in a clear sky, healthy AQI, viral images of rare species coming out, and of course the fresh air to breathe. Pandemic also had a major impact on architecture/interiors As earlier houses were constructed with barely People used to stay outside when there was no connection to nature, thus the dwellings were built that way. But as pandemic brought each one of us back to our home and that too with self-isolation. Now, the areas must be created and split in such a way that the amount of time spent in contact with nature is maximised. *With everyone isolated and confined to their homes and seeing nature healing back and letting out positive vibes the concept of Biophilia comes into play.* With nature’s proven impact on mental health, the principles of biophilia hold the key to create soothing yet sustainable spaces in Post-Pandemic Future. The biophilic design alludes to a natural link between humans and other living organisms. Contact with nature is expressed through design elements using natural light, water features, indoor plants, views of nature, natural materials, images of nature. It restores the natural bond between humans and nature and blurs the line between outside and inside. Biophilic design can decrease stress and improve productivity and creativity in this work-from-home situation, where everyone is frustrated being locked to their homes. The pandemic has its interests in the corporate sector as well in redesigning workspace to stimulate nature and have better air filtration systems and use more sustainable materials. Buildings are also adjusting to meet the need for more outside workstations, such as terraces, as well as common anticipation that employees would be more mobile after the pandemic is over. “We’re striving to blur the distinction between work and personal life.Your workstation does not have to be enclosed in your office.” One thing we should learn from this pandemic is that we should care about Mother Nature as much as we do about ourselves.

“In your drive to get back to normal, take this time to consider which aspects of normal are worth returning to.” Pandemic had been a bane as well. There was a lot of water wastage, most of us have stocked up a lot of food and snacks, the majority of which came wrapped in plastic/paper bags, resulting in increased plastic waste; it is estimated that by 2050, the ocean would have more plastic than fish.

Cemetries Of Surat Urvi Patel, Batch 2015

Dutch and Armenian cemetery

Dutch tomb
