It is shameful that even the media does not acknowledges the work of people like Bakerji and instead<BR/>focuses on meaningless gossips and sensationalsim.<BR/><BR/>His work has always inspired me but after reading more about his values and principles on life and his concern for the people I have a new found respect and appreciation of his work. <BR/><BR/>Here is one who did and not just talked a lot of gas like our political leaders and bureaucrats!<BR/><BR/>Some sites for those interested in more info on Bakerji:<BR/><BR/>www.lauriebaker.net<BR/>Bakerji's website (according to Wikipedia)<BR/><BR/>Has a ton of information on Bakerji. A must visit resource for anyone interested in the legendary architect.<BR/><BR/>A nice article:<BR/> http://lauriebaker.net/www.epw.org.in/epw/uploads/articles/10568.pdf<BR/><BR/>Another good one I havent seen before:<BR/>http://www.livemint.com/2007/04/05001145/A-home-of-his-own.html<BR/><BR/>Venu<BR/>venugopal-nair@hotmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9510200.post-25870084704555607722007-04-21T08:55:00.000-07:002007-04-21T08:55:00.000-07:00He was remarkable, no doubt.
