An article on Taj@ Chennai for Architect Hafeez Contractor , A+D,Dec 2009.

One day Boss(Hafeez Contractor), when he did not find me seated on my desk, started calling out my name and I discussing some missing aspects with my associate. He wanted me to write an article for A+D. He felt I was the perfect person to proceed with this.

After this article was published I wanted to call him up and tell him about it ,instead I called up his nephew -Karl. The next day when I showed it to him I wasnt sure whther he would like it or not..but 1 sentence makes the difference for me - Gud work..thats wat he said..

This was the most memorable article. While writing about Taj one thing I always heard from my heart was - If Arshad Sir was here....
But he is no more with us and that is a fact. He was like a Father to me and at times my friend. He motivated me whenever I lost my faith in myself.

Nevertheless..I cant forget Hafeez Sir for his n number of support and belief in me,To Pearl Ma'm, for standing as a pillar of inspiration. Hafeez Sir, I cant forget the Kala Ghoda fest, The DSK work, The Rustomjee interiors.. and after the endless late nites of hard work..those days when you have been trying to convince me that I should rest for not being well, and above all for convincing my Father that you are there for me. Thank you for being there.
