You see a fancy car on the road and wonder how the designer of that car came up with such intricate details of how the lines, angles and colours blend in to give the machine that beautiful look. You see a/the Taj Mahal and adore the architectural brilliance of the monument and of the architect who thought marble would do the most justice to that masterpiece. You drive through the valleys of Himachal Pradesh, by the serene beaches in Goa, ride on the backwaters in Kerala and be amazed at how nature has lent itself into those formations, ever pleasing to the eye and soothing to the mind. Designs like these are just so perfect, everything about them comes together in the best possible way, like the pieces of jig-saw puzzle, they are an exceptional fit.
And there's the other side. Like the famous Sirivennela song, you wonder why the beautiful swaying of honey-filled flowers is short-lived while on the contrary, the sedentary rocks sit around forever. And why the cuckoo, blessed with a silvery voice isn't dressed up in a pleasing color while the raucous thunders of the clouds have a beautiful silver lining! Some things just don't seem the best of matches, yet have a reason to be that way - may be they just offset each other to bring about balance.
Limitless is the imagination, vision and implementation of the architects (sometimes nature itself being the architect) who produce such marvelous pieces of creativity. And what comes with this authority to design and create is responsibility. Knowing well ahead that they may be credited or criticized for ever, they take up this responsibility.Such is the spirit of the great. Handling expectations and yet performing is definitely something extraordinary. Magnificent it is, that they create these beautiful things of joy. Impressive it is, that they say 'I do.' to whatever follows their creation - be it unlimited admiration or never ending criticism.
