About The Book

"Magnolia" is a heartfelt memoir of an architect who explores the fascinating intersection of architecture and the arts. The author reflects on their journey through a three-decade career in architecture, finding deep gratification and joy, alongside the livelihood that the profession provided. But architecture, as the author shares, offered something more—it revealed the deep connection between various forms of art.

Throughout this memoir, the author intertwines their experiences in architecture with the soul-enriching influence of music, dance, painting, and literature. These artistic expressions, explored during architectural journeys, have enriched the author's life in ways words can hardly express. The lines between different forms of art began to blur as the author saw them merge beautifully, creating a new artistic amalgamation.

The book also touches upon the author’s unique career journey, which spanned across both India and America, providing exposure to some of the finest history, geography, nature, and humanity. Along the way, the author encountered remarkable individuals and breathtaking places that left a profound emotional impact.

"Magnolia" is not only a memoir of an architect-artist but also a reflection on the creative life, expressed through free-form ruminations and profound reflections on the journey that has shaped the author’s artistic soul.
