A BEAUTIFUL POEM ON FATHER!
I DONT KNOW WHO HAS WRITTEN THIS.......
BUT ITS WORTH READING!
*शाळेपासून बापाच्या, धाकात तो राहत असतो,
कमी मार्क पडलेलं, प्रगतीपुस्तक लपवत असतो,
आईच्या पाठी लपून तो, बापाशी बोलत असतो,
डोळा चुकवून बापाचा, हुंदडायला जात असतो...
शाळा संपते, पाटी फुटते, नवं जग समोर येतं,
कॉलेज नावाच्या भुलभुलैयात, मन हरखून जात असतं,
हाती असलेले मार्क घेऊन, पायऱ्या झिजवत फिरत असतं,
बाप पाहतो स्वप्नं नवी, हे मुखडा शोधत असतं...
सुरू होतं कॉलेज नवं, दिवस भुर्रकन उडून जातात,
एटीकेटीच्या चक्रातून, वर्षं पुढे सरत जातात,
ग्रुप जमतो, दोस्ती होते, मारामाऱ्या दणाणतात,
माझा बाप ठाऊक नाही, म्हणत धमक्‍या गाजत असतात...
परीक्षा संपते, अभ्यास सरतो, डिग्री पडते हाती याच्या
नोकरी मिळवत, नोकरी टिकवत, कमावू लागतो चार दिडक्‍या,
आरामात पसरणारे बाजीराव, घोड्यावरती स्वार होतात,
नोकरीच्या बाजारात, नेमानं मोहिमा काढू लागतात...
नोकरी जमते, छोकरी सापडते, बार मग उडतो जोरात,
एकट्याचे दोघे होतात, सुखी संसार करू लागतात,
दोघांच्या अंगणात मग, बछडं तिसरं खेळू लागतं,
नव्या कोऱ्या बापाला, जुन्याचं मन कळू लागतं...
नवा कोरा बाप मग, पोरा सवे खेळू लागतो,
जुना बाप आता नव्याने आजोबाच्या कायेत शिरतो,
पोराशी खेळता खेळता दोघेही जातात भूतकाळात
एकाला दिसतो दुसरा लहान, दुसरा पाहतो गोष्ट महान...
रंगलेल्या गोष्टीत या, मग शिरतो फ्लॅश बॅक
बापाच्या भूमिकेतून, पोर पाहतो भूतकाळ
लेकरासाठी मग त्याला कळवळणारा बाप दिसतो,
त्याची लाल रेघ जो, उरात घेऊन फिरत असतो...
कडकपणाच्या आवरणाखाली, झुळझुळणारं पाणी असतं,
भल्यासाठी लेकरांच्या झगडणारं हाड असतं,
दोन घास कमी खाईल; पण पोरांना गोड देतो,
हट्टासाठी पोरांच्या ओव्हरटाईम तो मारत असतो...
डोक्‍यावरती उन्ह झेलत, सावली तो देत असतो,
दणाणत्या पावसापासून, कुटुंब आपलं जपत असतो,
घर नीट चालण्यासाठी स्वतः बाहेर फिरत असतो,
आईच्या मऊशार तळव्यामागचा, तोच राकट हात असतो...
बाप कधी रडत नाही, बाप कधी खचत नाही,
बाप कधी उतत नाही नि बाप कधी मातत नाही,
पोरं सोडतात घरटं अन्‌ शोधू लागतात क्षितिजं नवी
बाप मात्र धरून बसतो, घरट्याची प्रत्येक काडी...
पोरांच्या यशासोबत त्याचं मन हसत असतं,
अपयश पचवताना, ते आतून रडत असतं,
काही झालं, कितीही झालं, तरी कणा ताठ असतो,
खचलेल्या पोराला तोच तर उभारी देत असतो...
सारी कथा समजायला फार मोठं व्हावं लागतं,
बापाचं मन कठीण फार, चटकन हाती लागत नसतं,
आकाशाहून भव्य अन्‌ सागराची खोली असते
बाप या शब्दाची महतीच मोठी न्यारी असते...
कळत नाही बापाचं मन स्वतः बाप झाल्याशिवाय,
बापमाणूस असतो तो, बापांशिवाय कसा कळणार?
असतं न्यारंच रसायन, त्याची फोड उकलत नाही,
म्हणून तर बापावर कविता कोणी करत नाही...
करणार कशी कविता कोण, तो त्यात मावत नाही,
चार ओळीत सांगण्यासारखा बाप काही लहान नाही,
सोनचाफ्याचं फूल ते, सुगंध कुपीत ठरत नाही,
बाप नावाच्या देवाचा, थांग कधी लागत नाही...
केला खरा आज सायास, त्याला थोडं शोधण्याचा,
जमेल तेवढा सांगितला, आधार आमच्या असण्याचा
एक मात्र अगदी खरं, त्याच्याशिवाय जमत नाही,
आईमार्फत बोललं तरी, बोलल्याशिवाय राहवत नाही...
सांगतो आता शेवटचं, कान थोडा इकडे करा,
आभाळ पेलून धरण्यासाठी, आभाळाचाच श्‍वास हवा,
बाप नावाच्या पारिजातकाचं, असंच काहीसं जिणं असतं,
ते समजून घेण्यासाठी बापच असणं भाग असतं...*

Use of Glass in Buildings
When I am going through various materials as an Architect I am concerned about the aesthetics the looks of my buildings and at the same time I want the building to be "GREEN" and gel with the enviornment,the material which catches the max. attention is glass.
I had gone through the internet to find out how glass can help us from achieving the max. energy conservation while giving the max. benefit. following are the points which clearly gives in brief why glass should be adopted in India for external facade treatment.
• Day-lighting - The use of glass brings in lot of light that helps in giving a high amount of natural day lighting instead of depending solely on artificial lighting thus reducing considerably electricity consumption.
• Blending interiors with exteriors (Views) - Glass facades give a spectacular view of the outside world from the cozy interiors.
• Recyclability - Glass being recyclable satisfies the important parameter of being a “Green” building material.
• Achieving energy efficiency - High performance glass helps in controlling the solar and thermal heat in the interiors and helps to maintain the temperature at its minimum best and in turn helps to tone down the air-conditioning expenses.
• Innovative application - Being very flexible building material glass helps to satisfy and capture an architect's utmost imagination in its shape and form.
• Controls noise: Double glazed glass facades help in achieving a high degree of acoustic comfort by keeping away noise penetrating from the exteriors to the interiors thus ensuring a calmer atmosphere inside.
• Self Cleaning: The future belongs to self-cleaning glass which keeps itself clean on its own and brings out an ever sparkling effect.
Role of Glass in Green Architecture
• The lux level from direct sunlight is around 1,13,000 Lux.
• The lux level in shade is around 9,000 Lux.
• Brightly lit interiors which are conducive for working require 500 Lux.
High Performance Glass helps in cutting down excessive glare and brings in abundant natural light thus reducing the dependence on artificial lighting.
Energy Efficiency
In climatic conditions like India, 80% of the total heat gain is due to direct solar radiation and the rest is due to temperature difference between the exteriors and interiors. Thus to reduce the overall Relative Heat Gain (RHG) in tropical climates, it becomes necessary to curtail the incoming solar radiation by the use of glass with high performance solar “control” coating. Contrary to this, in cold climates the emphasis is on glass with low-emissive coatings to reduce the rate of heat loss from interiors to exteriors.
The total heat gain is measured in terms of Solar Factor and U-value and is expressed as a sum of these two components.
Solar Factor :
Heat gain on the inside of the building due to direct solar radiation incident on glass is measured through the solar factor of glass.
Solar Factor: It is the sum of percentage of incident solar energy directly transmitted and incident solar energy absorbed and re-emitted inside.
U-Value
Heat gain due to temperature difference is expressed by U-Value of a glass.
Looking forward for more study and knowledge in this area.

A step towards renewable Energy.
I have a strong feeling that India has a great potential to generate electricity from solar energy.......We have huge amount of wasteland which is neither good for agriculture,or is drought hit,or is under developed.
A positive approach towards this land can be to generate electricity through Solar Farming!
Indeed it is a bit expensive but if we can achieve in generating electricity required for running all the house hold equipments and supply it for all residential areas in our country I think India will certainly in a short time will gain more prosperity.
A survey of wasteland in India shows approx. 63.85 million hectares of total land area ....which is almost 20% of India's land area.
This land might not be all used for soalr energy electricty generation.....but can also be categorised and utilised for different forms of energy generation....where in we can use wind energy, solar energy,biogas,..n so on.
As an Architect when I start thinking on the renewable solar electricity generation for houses then i start put my aesthetics into it....I have come accross so many areas which can be used for generation of small amount of electricity and save power.
Use of glass is not considered safe in our country.....but with latest technological security gadget we can make use of glass...which in my opinion is a wonderful material....it helps reduce use of electricity...at times can generate solar electricity...gives an excellent architectural touch to the buildings be it residential or commercial.
Will get back on this issue as I study more on it.

Villamar@The Harbour,Bahrain.
This unique and the most prestigious project in Bahrain is unique in design,with utmost modern facilities.This project has a foot priint of 36,000.00 Sq.m and a total built up area of 282,000.00 Sq.m while the approx. project cost is 400 million USD. One will find 3 iconic tower structures twisting and rising upto 50 floors,with full glass cladding on the facade giving delicate appearance to the rigid,strong concrete structure.
