On Structure, Form, Space, People and Spirit

Too many words for a post title! Yeah, i had too many ideas jumbled up to say and struggling on my start! I keep wondering how people shape spaces. What i mean by 'people' and 'shape' means - their living enthusiasm mix with various kinds of spaces that have mushroomed in the name of needs and functionality. In previous post Gulzar ji beautifully narrates an 'architectural experience' of certain memories in his poem.

I admit, i am a great fan of Google's vast array of ideas, i love the blogger (acquired), gmail (old idea), search (old again).......when it comes to personal stuff like pictures and videos, i feel very uncomfortable.....

God heavens! Sorry i don't like it! I tried deactivating it through my phone and it just did not work! I freaked out! 2) Before i tried the 'hang out' i just explored it (UI still not very easy). I saw comments of few people which were abusive and demoralizing! This guy will never come back to Hangout! Wondered if people are so abusive or just that abusive people are more on the internet! Public spaces all over the world have become more abusive...
