became an experience to remember

Marking my first step in the narrow lanes of chowk because of our module 5  was an adventurous  experience . a completely unknown place to walk and to know about … walking through  each galli by pushing the people to make your way to an end of the lane was a bliss looking at the mouth watering street chaats consumed by the people standing across the lanes made me eager to give them a try once in spite of knowing they might not be so good .. I remember asking people about chandini chowk every time someone visited but finally it was my turn to step myself and know it more the main purpose of visiting the lanes was cause of the project that we had to do which was choosing an area identifying the problem and designing a perfect solution to it .. While exploring we found a narrow lanes full of electronics namely the bhagirat palace which was asias largest electronic market it had amazing poducts which catched my eyes on buying them they sold all types of electronics in that conjusted lane which were beautifully designed the lane was small yet gave a bigger meaning to me … the module helped me explored the place in a better manner it helped me in going forward and talking to people to extract data and depict all my views and exploration visualy in my log book … I could think more broadly after this module and after looking at the problem areas in finding sollutions to it was fun. it involved redesigning what existed and bring in something more innovative and new creations of our own to give them a comfort level. the module was a bit like a puzzle in between but as we moved forward with our researches it became more clear about what had to be done further …  and ended up with great design sollutions ..

Reflection on this module

This module was all about research, getting to know places. It was more focused on how I perceive things. I was supposed to pick one place, as in an area for the research work. I picked Chandni Chowk for as it is typically Indian and is mischievously fascinating.

My Experiences

Module 5 has been motivating but tiring too. Tiring because I arrived at a place known as 'Chandni Chowk.' Maybe the only place where one can find a jam of both pedestrians and traffic? Stepping into the busiest markets of Delhi was challenging but the facts that I discovered about this place were immense. At first I felt out of place. The crowd was such that I thought it was really difficult to mingle up with it.I remember how much I dreaded visiting this place on the first day but then the fear was replaced by the amazing sights that I came across. Delicious food, kulfis, Chaat, Jalebis, places like Jama Masjid, markets in each lane, was something I hadn't seen before.

In conversation

I walked out of the metro rail onto the

Road on the way to
 Bhagirath Palace

Chandni Chowk station, trying to recall the questions that I'd spent the entire morning preparing. I was intrigued by the idea of setting up a shop in Asia's largest wholesale market, Bhagirath Palace.

Challenging The Mind

The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.

It is well said that the most common practice in the world is following that the best way to learn is to teach but somehow I feel that this theory doesn't completely satisfy every situation that comes around. I strongly believe that the best way to learn is to challenge yourself and your typical way of thinking. From studying for a mathematics exam to examining psychological behavior to creating something rare, every situation will demand for you to challenge yourself and to come out of your shell gracefully.

Crowded lanes of Chandni chowk

Each one of us have that moment of a black out when we relate two opposite things with each other, when two situations, extremely repelling and bizarre, make you think about one another, the two places that you can never be experiencing at the same time, the two breaths that would never feel the same but yet similar. Well I had one of those moments today.
The 10th of March will always be a memorable day in my books of learning since it was this day, or today that I got myself to think and relate two of my existing life events by a common thread. Since all you readers are aware that I have been working on an assignment in chandni chowk, so all my attention and thoughts are dedicated to it to a large extent. I pretty much sleep with my mind thinking of a solution for its various problems.
