Times have changed so has hands changed with money?

Times have changed, hands change money.....that was a thought everyone had till sometime back.
Well today time is still changing at a faster pace then we can think, but is the hand changing money that fast ...NO!
that shows in the construction & bullish market which has become sluggish now

We can see the people not celebrating the festive time which has been a important period in all Indian homes till date....just peep out and see , you will see the day is as routine as it can get...only little splash of colour here, a little dash of rocket there and maybe few fancy lights hanging outside the door.

who is to be blamed? 

we all have many names to think so, but i say its we who are to be blamed.

Look at how we have become a consumer market....discount, 1+1 offer....do we even think how much of all that material is required in our homes where our homes has a limit to stock & expand (expensive proposition till date :(...)

trends in design

We all designers have come across clients with varied interests, understanding & exposure. Oh yes they also come with a band of requirements to fit in a 500 sq.ft flat which would nicely fit in a 1000 sq.ft. What has the economics done to us, what has estate agencies done to the asthetics. we call 12' x 10' as master bedroom !
Somewhere it does hamper one's design but new designer are also turning up & fighting odds. we have seen some foreign designers who make custom made designs to fit all the list in that tiny space & very well done. Look at the lavatory of an aircraft, look at the Dilip Chabbria designs they are doing it so can we.
What the clients need to understand here is that there is a boyce's principle(excuse spelling) in all aspects of life. You push the time taken for work down, you push the resources less & cost shall shoot up. they is always a boyouncy working at all points. Clients who insist all aspects that it should be at minimum cant get a great design. Aircraft Lavatory comes at a cost in a good time span with maximum resource at disposal.
Design trends fall out or in mostly due to such issues. Like in one site we used army wooden trunks with nice rubberwood as dining table at low cost, yet another site we did entire office in exposed MDf panels. they surely played a lot to asthetics & changed the trends too.

Only If We had done it....

Oh yes, it sounds like a line out from a masala movie..but i wonder if we stopped complaining about the way things are and considered if we had done it then, how would have we done it. This will solve a lot in getting a good work done with your little twist in the thought, a little thought of time, a push in the mind, a pause at the heart!

Well, we hear people, friends talking about how someone died due to rash driving or if only he would had worn a helmet! In real life how many times we ignore the same and bluntly do it without following rules. Lets not give a reason to the authorities to encourage corruption by offering temptation but lets be the reason to get the good happen. We often look for a excuse why our design submission didnt happen.

That extra courage to tell a lie that extra stress on the mind to come up with a witty excuse makes us a hero of the day. If we had done it right probably with no excuse and that little push to work , a little push to brain to work harder would have won us glory for a lifetime in whatever we ought to do! Dont you think a satisfied me will find no reason to have a peaceful sleep !!

So let our conscious mind tell our sub conscious mind to wake up and find no excuses for time is one thing that heeds for no one, can we wish that only if we had done it....should be oh i done it!!
