Short Story of a City - Ahmadabad

“A Traveler's life had two lives now: the life he would have and the life he would forever wonder about.” 

The Character of a House - Ruins of a City, Old City, Ahmadabad

"Something always attracts us towards the ruins, because ruins remind us our fundamental problem: The problem of impermanence! Amongst the ruins we see the very end of our road! Whatever shows you the simple truth, it is your Master Teacher; whoever repeatedly recalls you of the plain truth, he is your good master!” 

Calcutta Diary - The National Library

The city defeated me. It refused to be bent into shape; it stayed a willful, sprawling, sinful place. It even told me as much. When i walked through the gutted wreck of old building of National Library , i tripped and fell over a piece of rubble -- a graying stone. When i got to my feet and dusted myself down i saw that it read, in Latin, 'Resurgam' -- 'I Will Rise Again'...

Calcutta Diary - The National Library

The Rusty Ruins were the remains of an old city, a hulking reminder of back when there'd been way not too many people, and everyone was incredibly intelligent. And Brilliant in their love for knowledge, and that which helped them outgrow slavery and build a design - of a Nation!
