juries still . 'animatrix' . 'national treasure'

called away on jury day in college to be present at another bandra college today rizvi. on the seventh and the sixth floor where me and smita sat through reasonable drawings rendered with skies and trees just how i used to do them in the prehistoric years at lsr. the projects were a cultural center in pune – three humongous auditoriums with a courtyard in the middle; and an “interpretation” center at patan where all the kids had a ‘step well’ as a concept. repetitive and banal- but not incompetent.

at home in krvia the fourth and third year juries went off all right. we were told to program the vasai project and make the kids do case studies for auditoriums, which we duly noted- but with some trepidation.

at home i have been watching hbo and star movies evening shows. ‘animatrix’ yesterday with animated characters that speak more with more emotion than keanu reaves did in any of the three movies. ‘national treasure’ silly caper film with nicholas cage stealing the declaration of independence to give back to the world a historic treasure. was there something subtle being proposed about the secrets within american values that need to be rediscovered to save the world from ignorance? who cares? after dinner time pass when you cant sleep early.
