“ Sky’s not the limit when there are footprints on the moon” Hey there! I am Mahua. You may also refer to me as mahuarani (my brand name I am working on) Architecture has accentuated my curiosity in technology and arts concisely. Designing effective planning strategies in consideration of the SDGs are important to me. I am very curious about how this world works physically and emotionally. My vision: Anywhere Everywhere Anything Everything. I avoid being confined to conventional paths. Hence I keep relating to and everything. I love interacting with people all around the world. Being an ambivert my trump card is consciously getting out of my comfort zone for work, relations and emotions. I am not afraid to ask questions since the answers only clear my concepts more.

SITE B: Marathon Chowk to Kekan ospital AREA OF PILOT: 200m approx. Marathon Chowk to Kekan hospital is one of the branch emanating from Gangapur road. It lies towards west direction with respect to the city centre area: Panchavati. Nestled within the educational and residential zones, the site has the potential to become a fully pedestrian road. This stretch possesses higher amount of footfall due to presence of Institute of Management, Research & Technology (IMRT) Institute, Raosaheb Thorat Auditorium, and Kekan Hospital. The site for the competition extends from Kekan Hospital in the north to the Marathon Chowk in the south.

THE GOLDEN DREAMS How sweet and pompous must they be, studded in diamonds and filled with elixir. They seldom fail my expectations. Often was I sad, for I was to crib of my misfortunes. I looked at them and contemplated. It was neither the flash of the metal nor the comforts. It was the brittled semolina within which lay their joie de vivre.

Typology: Short Stories Genre : Murder Mystery SOMBRE SUNSETS
She sat there by the window, staring at the beautiful crimson streak that had just been laid in the evening sky. The October skylight poured into the big hall. It lit up the huge chandelier and a Mason and Hamlin. She could smell the smoke curling from the Nottinghams'. How could nature be so vivid in its evening skies? It was just yesterday that the lavender faded away to become purplish-blue. It had been twenty two years and she never missed a single sunset, not even one. She faced the french window with a poise, looked through the window, for the landscape had never felt so beautiful before. She sipped her coffee carefully, balancing her fingers around the rim. ' Insolutam dimittit, ' she said to herself with hatred and pain. Pulling down the left sleeve of her polo sweater; where she had carved these letters. That week she found her mother's mutilated body four blocks away at pseudo-division in a cement pipe. Such does the ink fall into the water and spread instantaneously, so did the fear and excitement in her. She knew it was time.Putting the empty cup down, she craved to saddle a bit longer, but got up consciously . She tied her sombre hair into a messy bun. For the last time did she listen to the birds chirp, for the last time did she take the wholesome warmth of that red sun, for the last time did she smell that smoke which reminded of the grumpy Colonel Nottingham and his tiny stout cookie making machine: Aunt Claire. A small piazza ran along her plot. It teemed with the liveliness of her childhood. I am sorry. She sighed heavier than the burdens that she had carried all that week along. It wasn't easy leaving all this behind. The estate, her modelling career, her family. Maybe she wasn't even supposed to do this. It was the CBI's job to hunt them down. Nostalgia is a dirty liar that insists things were better than they seemed. She closed her eyes, not because she wanted to, for they made her do it. She turned her back and never saw that little sparrow who chirped in vain only to be killed by the swooping falcon. *Insolutam dimittit: 'Unsolved'in Latin
