Time and again, we have been going back to our ancient texts and practices – food, lifestyle, health… to stem the emotional and physiological disturbances of a jet-setting lifestyle. In more ways than one, slow living is a lifestyle solution that could perhaps bring about the much-awaited difference – and bridge the gap between the compassionate ethos of say, the 1970’s – 80’s and the devil-may-care now!
Ar. Amit Srivastava resorts to this method in his own abode at Vadodara. Living an enriching, sorted life, literally from the earth, and off the earth is humbling and inspirational. Do check out the story. On similar lines, is the wood and glass home that is beatifically ensconced in nature. Minimalist and efficient, the architecture weaves a stunning narrative.
Perhaps, each of us should go back in time, just a little. A wee bit of introspection and an active resolve to adopt one – just one – element of a give-back-to-nature/society act. And we could review the joy and personal satisfaction the activity could bring.
Enjoy the issue.
Warmly,
