I met a really old friend that I had not seen in more than 20 years. He is now the principal of Sir J.J College of Architecture (http://www.sirjjarchitecture.org). It is a very prestigious institution in India and their students are the best architects in India. There are so many good childhood memories that I have with him. That was such an innocent, beautiful and carefree time of our lives. We all lived in one apartment building that was six floors and had 14 apartments. We lived as one big family and were closely knit.
The campus of the college of Art and Architecture was built in 1866. The buildings are very old and regal. I have taken some pictures of the buildings. It is in a very crowded part of town but when you enter the campus you feel like you are in a different world. I am sure there are some ghosts that hang around these buildings too.
It was nice to be in the campus around the young students. Because this is a college of art and architecture there is a lot of creativity in the air. You see students designing sculptures, models and painting. It was a very nice experience indeed. I am thankful to my friend, the principal for the experience.
