“She relaxed in relief and beamed at me, not a polite business dinner smile, but the kind of uncontrolled hundred-watt smile that made her eyes light up and crinkle at the corners. I’d say yes a thousand more times to see her so happy. I was doomed.”
This species is the most abundant species of bat in northern Eurasia.

A Wall as a Room Samira Rathod Design Atelier The mean streets are the principal bazaars; I need size, and the arcades of the palaces, temples and houses, are the shops of the artisans, who are seen working almost in the open air at their traders, the tailors, the shoemakers , the goldsmiths, armorers, pastry-cooks, confectioners, coppersmiths, etc. The grain merchant occupy very spacious huts of thatch, constructed in a sort of coarse latticework,… In the midst of the main street. (Quotation from Victor Jacquemont’s Impressions of Jaipur & Amber in 1832 in Jadunath Sarkar - A history of Jaipur) This installation redefines the utilitarian purpose off the wall as a separator of space to be the container of space itself. One may find a Cross architectural history how walls have been used as places for hiding, service and shelter. The palaces of Jaipur work out a unique architecture of the skin that leave large open spaces bounded within thinwall buildings that can be occupied. In several urban areas today, walls have become infrastructures and extensions from homes and temporal entrepreneurship. Learning from many such examples, the installation attempts to rethink the architectural elements of the wall not as separator, but something that brings people together. The ‘Wall as a Room’ is an experiment in anthropometric norms, material, and spatial experience of one’s habitat. It provokes us to think of inhabiting the boundaries between the inside and the outside; private and public; the individual and the other. #WallAsARoom #Partition #Occupant #Splendid #PerfumeOnAWall #Bound #InsideAndOutside #PrivateAndPublic #IndividualAndOthers #Conceptual #Ideas #Ideology #Sketch #SpaceDesign #WhereIsSpace #Curated #JawaharKalaKendra #Jaipur #JaipurDiaries #JaipurJournal #Rajasthan #India #Wanderer #Wanderlust #Travel #Travelogue #TravelDiaries (at JKK-Jaipur, Jawahar Kala Kendra) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnSsFYyF1ad/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cifuzlxh9exr

ख़्वाब सा (Khwaab Sa) Directed by Atul Kumar “We cannot know whose dream this is………. Perhaps, Quince dreamt of Titania, and Titania imagined lovers, while lovers dreamt of Puck, and Puck conjured up a donkey. In dreams there are no anchors; images and sounds waft in and out of the mind. Often becoming so real, so under the skin that a dreamer could fall or fly or even remain suspended mid-air, all the while cocooned in the warmth of a blanket. Inspired by the bizarre and extraordinary quality of a human dream, The Company Theatre presents an ensemble of 16 dancers, actors, singers and musicians, all weaving together a landscape of Shakespeare’s fantastical vision, A Midsummer Night’s Dream. #ThePerformingArts #Attakalari #DanceInstitute #KhwaabSa #AtulKumat #Rendition #Splendid #Play #MidSummerNightDream #Shakespeare #Comedy #Performance #Stills #Beaut #Beautiful #Navras2018 #JawaharKalaKendra #Jaipur #JaipurJournal #JaipurDiaries #Rajasthan #India #Wanderer #Wanderlust #Travel #Travelogue #TravelDiaries (at JKK-Jaipur, Jawahar Kala Kendra) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bm8urMPlGi1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1r9uggloe2qoi

A2: A Story Of Cubes Teja Gavankar Madhyavarti, The central empty space of Jawahar Kala Kendra is one of the most impactful space in the building. Its scale and calmness makes one pause. It is an empty bounded space overlooking the sky with a grid of stone tiles cladded along its walled enclosure. The project teases the orderly chequered space by subtly folding its planes that cast new shadows as they appear to wrap the need geometry of the court. #Teasing #Folds #NewAge #Cladding #Beaut #Splendid #FavePieces #TejaGavankar #Madhyavarti #WhenIsSpace #JawahrKalaKendra #Jaipur #JaipurDiaries #JaipurJournal #Rajasthan #India #Wanderer #Wanderlust #Travel #Travelogue #TravelDiaries (at JKK-Jaipur, Jawahar Kala Kendra) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnTZRtwlqUj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ectw5fe9p8gi
