A letter to Dada

Dear Dada
This is probably the first time I'm writing to you. I always wanted to but guess this is the first time I'm feeling so motivated. Let me tell you that almost everybody including me thinks that you are a great guy. You're a great guy not because they dont know much about you and hence give you a benefit of doubt but because what they know about you is enough for them to think so. And your qualities are well known and I see no point in repeating them once again. All I wish to tell you what I've read of you in an honest way. Professionally, you know more than many of us. You have worked on projects and you know the technicalities. You have developed some formidable concepts for interiors and I've personally loved the design of that Israeli telecom firm's office. It was outstanding. And I'm not lying. You have a potential of becoming one of the best as far as corporate interiors go. What you really still lack is professional confidence. You still need validation and you still need protection. Its about time you realized it. You are your own boss for the time being and I would love to see you being your own boss in future too. But you still need to realize it fully. Its not about working as a freelancer or working for another company. A boss is a boss everywhere. A boss would takes his own decisions. Well, if he needs professionally advice he would ask for it but then he would not be bound or overpowered by the advice. He would not take the advice on the face of it and conveniently shelve the responsibility on to the shoulders of the advisor. No. He would just thank the advisor and get on to his own business. Because the boss has the power to discard an advice if he finds it unsuitable. But then the boss holds the entire responsibilty of the consequences.
I know that you are such a nice and modest person that you would believe everything that I say here. But let me ask you not to believe me blindly. As a matter of fact I am an arrogant punjabi professional to an extent. I am trying to recover but there is still a long way to go. When we were doing the Arena project, I could not hold myself from thrusting my opinion on to you. I am really sorry for it. I forgot that it was your project and I should not have intefered in the design atleast. The problem is that I am too arogant and harsh and you are too soft and modest. Maybe we should share our qualities a bit :)
I would love to see you in charge of every aspect of the project. I have always felt that an architect is more than just a designer. He is a project manager, project planner, quality controller and a marketing executive. I would love to see you excel in each of these fields. Let me tell you a little secret rule of architectural practice in India - "Client is an ignorant baby god". Our job is to give him guardianship, give him confidence, make him aware about things and still obey him. Sounds tough but feels not once you're at it.
So you gotta move on. Be your own boss in real. Nobody will be there to bail you out everytime. So you need to bail you out yourself. Yes, I will be always there standing for you because you are my best friend. Whether we work together or not. But in a professional project that you concieve, nobody can help you beyond a limit.
Hope I made some sense although it has been somewhat a crazy time for me.
Love you Dada
