    About this ebook

    Surfaces & Souvenirs is about avoiding the "standard" experience for children. Every outing should incite wonder. Every excursion should grab their attention, and sharpen their sensibilities. Every experience must attend to their inclinations and spur development of their interests. Every outing, that reveals a multitude of materials, textures and interactions, nurtures their capacity to think laterally, which would lead them to the appropriate solutions for problems they may encounter. Unusual and asymmetrical experiences in places like the junk and the train yards, listing to sounds, watching textures evolve, visiting construction sites, exploring forests for edible plants, looking into factories, abandoned buildings and grain elevators, visiting Airports to see them function, the message of great architecture, old and new, not only expands their understanding of the functions, but the systems that govern such functions as well. These kinds of exposures refine, not only their curiosity and instincts, but intellectual development, channeling their energies to a more focused creative and academic involvement, both, at home and school. This is the retardant, an antidote, against the "instant gratification culture" of our contemporary lifestyles.

      Our first adventurer and pathfinder,

      with love and eternal debt of gratitude

      I can see why Surfaces and Souvenirs" is dedicated to Peddada Satyanarayana Murthy. Some forty-six years ago, in the mid sixties, spread over a three year period, I had the pleasure of sharing almost a thousand hours of walking with him, through the not so urban jungle of New Delhi. He was a dear friend, who was a listener, who observed and
