Hello!
Welcome to another edition of Saturday Pentacle.
In the past week, I posted a creative challenge each day on my Vibely Lifestyle Architecture Community (link for the same at the end). As I was creating these challenges for my community, it gave my own creativity a new spark and I was able to come up with new ideas every day.
Apart from that, it was not a very peaceful week at the work front. Too many things going on at the moment. Just trying to calm the storm down.
As I’m sitting too many hours while working from home, to get my body moving I started going on long walks since past 1-2 weeks. I’ve been enjoying my late evening walks as I use that time to listen to my audiobooks as well. It gives me a clear phase shift between work and self.
Coming to the book reading/listening progress, I listened to the Sherlock Holmes only this week –
- The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes – 80% done (Audible)
That’s it for the personal updates.
Without further adieu, please enjoy this week’s Saturday-Pentacle.

An interesting art portfolio —
Art from Sifty Kaur – Found this artist on the interwebs and her art is really interesting – oil painting on canvas, drawings and paintings.
Check it out, here is one of her artworks –
An interesting tweet —
London to Culcutta journey on bus – Found out that there was a bus service which used to tour London-Calcutta (India) route and it existed till 70s.
I just wonder how the passengers would have coped for so long a bus journey. I wish I had a time wheel to go back and travel in this bus.
Check out the tweet below for details –
A home architecture story I loved —
Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s Pavana holiday home – This Houzz story on the Rang De Basanti director – Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra‘s Pavana Home was a great home architecture story.
He has this multi pavilion home near Pavana Lake in Maharashtra which has a mesmerizing view and a design created like a jigsaw with interlocking structures making it whole and then some!
Music I’m loving —
Everyone Lied by Dorvin Borman – Loved the Grungy vibe of this song and put me in flow state.
Beautiful drum and synth amalgamation!
Quote which I found meaningful –
The only way to learn it is to do it.
— Archimedes, “Sword in the Stone”
Before saying “see you next week”
