My family loved to travel. We were a big Indian family, with lots of us tiny tots, and we used to go up to the hills often. My earliest sonic memories are of crickets and flowing rivers — we would jump into the rivers with crates of warm mangoes, which we cooled off in the water and then feasted on. I find that the two disciplines fuel each other, one is so fluid and the other, quite structured. For example, when I study about urban ecology for a design project, it finds a way into my lyrics. Music sneaks into the spaces and gardens I design. For a long time, I tried hard to bring architecture and music together but as I continue to grow and refine my artistic sensibility, I have been discovering that they are merely two peas in a pod.
I have such a passionate relationship with Sri Lanka, since it was the first time I had distanced myself from my roots for a prolonged time. I was an independent woman. It was for my first proper job as an architect that I moved there from Delhi and I was so lucky to have worked with Sri Lankan architect Amila de Mel on an old Geoffrey Bawa building and garden. The aesthetic and sensibilities of the island really spoke to me.
