Laughter is said to be the best elixir and the book is a satire on architecture written by one who knows the bricks and concrete of the profession by heart.

The author, an architect himself, delves into the journey of a professional practice. The book is witty with acerbic humor.

Word by word, sentence by sentence, page by page, every scene unfolds like a screenplay, leaving the reader amazed with the brutalities of life in architecture, and life itself.

  1. Architects are idiots. Any time an architect gets involved when we have to deal with a house layout, that just about doubles our workload.
    They can’t use CADD to save their life, can’t close an angle if their clients life depended on it, their so called “plans” aren’t worth the paper and ink they’re made of and finally, they never, ever, EVER let reality get in the way of what they are designing.
