Glimpse from 1961
Prof. S. S. Rueben and Prof. Merchant are pictured with the 1952–53 cohort of student architects at the Sir J. J. School of Architecture. Among them stand D’costa and Daji Banaji, whose vision and camaraderie with their peers laid the foundation for what has since grown into the National Association of Students of Architecture, India. This image captures not just a moment in time, but the genesis of a movement that continues to inspire generations.

First Print
As a first-year architecture student, I had a strong foundation in engineering drawing and drafting. My design proposal for a bus shelter was selected by the jury and published in the very first Journal of NASA in 1957.
