Later practice
Summary:After summarizing about the different foreign cities she’s been to, she talks about wanting to instigate change in her own country and how her past efforts seem to be futile. She touches on the many factors why she felt it was convenient to work in the government when she first started, and how it seemed like the most effective choice then compared to the present times. About fulfilling her service-oriented goals, she speaks about it the period when she first began practicing. Beginning as a woman practitioner, she talks about the many frustrating factors that made climbing the ladder difficult – not attributing the entire blame on a gender bias. She goes into depth with the exposure and experiences with her government practice in the context of her gender. On managing her role as a professional and a mother, she talks about the collective help she received. She reads through the concept notes and collections she has been compiling, bringing attention to a particular one in Le Corbusier’s quotations. Some others included webinars at various educational institutions, supporting a start-up on net-zero buildings, notes on an accessible tourist city and a plastic park, etc. The documents included a remodeling concept on a heritage building at Connaught Place, a planning project for a walkway for the airport authorities, etc. Delving into her interest in handicrafts and handloom, she also speaks of stories about her work attire, her personal collection of ceramics, and unique home decor pieces. She notes all the writing work she has put in, that she can recollect. She moves on to the recent developments the authorities bring on in the national capital city and the issues it faces due to disintegrated governance and decision-making system. On her siblings and their immediate family, she recounts stories, their personalities and interests, and how they may have influenced her choices. She further scours into her archive of documents and notes left of her extensive work.
