In the true meaning of equity, there are not any men’s days or women’s days. However, “woman”!! is a bounty, she is a mother, and nourishes the entire human race. Sometimes I feel, this world has been designed discordantly to her, but I have witnessed, every single woman has marvelously made it through. She plays with the obscurity of her existence and becomes “light” not to be a perfect woman, not even to be a perfect mother but to lighten this universe. And like always I do agree with William Golding, “I think women are foolish to pretend they are equal to men, they are far superior and always have been..”

#women’s Day.

And the shadow of my emotions replies to the light, the best part of being me is I let you become you. Your ego to get brighter ends at my imperturbability and I give meaning to the horizons. Your newness to the human mind appears and then disappears but I emerge in the human intuitions. You have a bright side, you are energy on your own, and no doubt nothing could stop you to celebrate your victory but I simply love to exist….

As Patrik Schumacher has said – ‘Let the style wars begin’ and famous renowned architects have criticized parametricism as just a style rather than a profound architectural process of form-making or form-finding. Parametricism aims to organize and articulate the increasing diversity and complexity of social institutions and life processes. It aims to establish a complex variegated spatial order, using scripting to differentiate and correlate all elements and subsystems of a design. The goal is to intensify the internal interdependencies within architectural design, as well as the external affiliations and continuities within complex, urban contexts.

Contemporary architecture is addressing this societal demand via a rich panoply of parametric design techniques. However, we are confronted with a new style rather than just with a new set of techniques. The techniques in questions – the employment of animation, simulation, and form-finding tools, as well as parametric modeling and scripting, have inspired a new collective movement with radically new ambitions and values. This has led to many new, systematically connected design problems that are being worked on competitively within a global network of design researchers. Over and above aesthetic reconcilability, it is this wide-spread, long-term consistency of shared design ambitions that justifies the expression of a design process.

It has a very precise formulation and execution of complicated correlations between elements and subsystems. The sharped concept, computational techniques, and scientific logic that characterize this work are growing into a new paradigm in architecture. The parametric design tools themselves cannot play a vital role in this profound shift in style from modernism to parametricism. Aesthetic wise it is the elegance of ordered complexity and the sense of seamless fluidity. Which is parallel to the natural system that is the trademark of parametricism.

What is the point of greeting “Namaste” If a soul is not honoring a soul, COVID-19 has already wiped out the essence of Namaste……

At least we are united as human beings. At least I am thankful that I could witness, the richest man on earth and a beggar, a genius and an illiterate could have the same problem. At least I believed that Mr. Trump and my grandpa in eastern Nepal share the same air. Wow! Isn’t it the same air circling us? And how many positive notes do I make here none of us are going to believe that we could decline like so many other species. It is challenging for us to believe that “it could be our last day, last year…. on earth”. And for COVID-19 it is a huge possibility. We refer other’s life to believe that we could die, but in our case, we don’t “believe”; we sacred, we just scared. And look at us, so conscious about washing hands, it is not the belief that washing hands could protect our race but the fear, a selfish cowardly individual’s fear of death. And what a day! After miraculous inventions “Wash your hands to protect yourself!”

As per Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution, only fittest will survive, and here we are in the advanced century where no one seems to be fit. “Survival for the fittest” was a fact, we adapted it in such a way we dragged ourselves to COVID-19. In the true meaning of evolution, we have never been human. A human doesn’t struggle to become the fittest but also helps another human to fit………. And here comes the day “hey human hide from another human”

A race running after achievements apparently running away from each other. It is so abnormal that “Social Distance” has become normal. And it is not COVID-19 seeking distance, there never was any intimate bond among human beings. The mundane notion of nationalism never let us become a citizen of this common home. Without doing anything and without becoming anyone, anybody still is a responsible one towards the human race as a single-family. I looked at me, a selfish individual. I suppose I did not raise me right.

Is a human superior of all creature? What do I have accomplished? Like every human why do I even compare superiority in terms of accomplishments, whereas I cannot even end up my day as a street dog does? A street dog having a deep nap on a busy street, birds singing and enjoying scattered food in front of an overcrowded restaurant, two tiny ants having sex on a busy dining table and, there was me in-between these fantastic scenarios; feeding my empty stomach. I didn’t even smell the “mixed vegetables” that was served, I didn’t give a pause to sense the taste of what I was chewing, like most of the proud human, I filled up my upper abdomen and started planning for the accomplishments.

Human beings were occupied for food and sex in ancient days and today with too many “things”. In the race of becoming a “human” /a superior human, we haven’t just failed to become human but, lost the sense of human senses.

In the book Slights of Mind, Stephen and Susana have stated: “magic trick work because humans have a hardwired process of attention and awareness that is hackable………” Agreeing with this term a hardwired process in my understanding means, the human brain cannot stand as an individual system. It learns the things from the outer world, it does not react on its own understanding. For example, a simple calculator, when 2×2 is pressed it gives 4. But, the calculator doesn’t think on its own, it just processes the multiplication, it doesn’t think the process. Facts or truth do not matter to the brain, it simply processes the input; it is just a processor.

Nose doesn’t smell, the tongue doesn’t taste, the skin doesn’t feel, the eye doesn’t see, and the ear doesn’t hear. All these important organs work as a medium to the brain. And brain precisely processes those all. But senses!! It cannot be processed. Senses are pure. The way nose, tongue, skin, eye and, ears are mediums to the brain, the brain works as a medium to sense. Humans should be considered superior not because of the brain but of sensorial capabilities. And all these messes around the world is because we have placed our brain as a decision maker and with our brain, humans are getting lost in ”achievements”. But the brain doesn’t think of sense, I would like to repeat it again it is just a processor, a hardwired process and brain has nothing to do with results. Brain decides to open the eyes to see the world whereas sense prefer to close the eyes to feel the world. Sense deals with experiences not with the process. Sense is a “new brain” central mechanism of the human body.

As a kid, I got into a so-called “bad habit” of eating mud. I used to eat earth (mud). Nothing was tastier than mud to me. Later, after keeping me under strict supervision my parents made me quit it. But even after so many years, whenever I eat something delicious I get that taste of mud, more than hunger it satisfies my soul of taste. I suppose, “it is not the memory” that brings the same taste again and again; it is the “sense” sense of taste, that revive the memory. Perhaps, memory has no connection with the brain but with Sense. This could be the reason why I smelled “Tests”. In his book “Perfume, the story of a murder” Patrick Suskind had cited “The soul of being is their scent…. how beautiful his mind is!! I suppose, in the race of proving ourselves; human, we have forgotten to smell all the incredible fragrance spread all around us, but we are not becoming human. I literally don’t see any point of having this advanced world if we are not smelling anything but polluted air. I believe, everything exists in this world has some sort of smell which makes them all unique. I just smelled my hands, at this very moment I smelled it, it smells, it has some scent in it. At this point, this smell pulled me towards myself, it triggered my curiosity to know about myself and how my other organs are responding to it. It could be the 13th essence, which was mentioned in the book Perfume. “……12th essence could be identified but the 13th the vital one could never be determined……” what if that 13th essence is discovered! How beautiful this existence would become! These are the real mysteries which are supposed to be disclosed.

We are just looking at the world, to look is coordination of brain and eye, it is just a process but to see; the act of seeing is the sense. In the book Slights of mind, it was mentioned that moon in the horizon appears bigger, whereas the same moon in the open sky appears smaller, because there are too many obstructions in the horizon and depending upon the context, our brain automatically zooms to our interest. In the same way, we hear what we actually want to hear. The sound we hear depends upon the way our brain perceives it, Sound is the reception of waves and perception by the brain. In the book “A Natural History of the Senses” Diane Ackerman has very beautifully mentioned, Outer space is silent but on earth, almost everything can make a sound, that is the reason why we have two ears and one mouth, it means we must hear twice before we speak. So, in that sense, we are here to listen, enjoy every beats without any purpose as if we are here to listen. Even a newly born baby who can’t see clearly for 4-5 months recognize his/her mother through intimate sounds of the heartbeat. Mother and child are united by umbilical sound. But unfortunately, ignoring the natural law of listening/ art of listening, we learned to speak twice then we hear. We are living with culture whereas we need to live with nature. We are living with purpose…. with the brain, whereas we need to live with our senses……

There is everything real in this world, but I am the only one creature who is “making real”, if it can be made then it is not real. And in the deeper sense of sense there is not even anything called “experience” there is just sense…and the Death is an ultimate sense, in this sense of death there is life; a beautiful life……full of senses……a beautiful world to live, not to make……I am so fake.
