On a ‌serene saturday morning, prominent Tollywood actors N. balakrishna, jr NTR, and Kalyan Ram gathered at NTR‍ Ghat, located​ on the picturesque banks of Hussain Sagar Lake in Hyderabad, ​to‌ honor the legacy of the late N. T. Rama Rao on⁤ his ​28th death anniversary. The event was⁤ a‌ heartfelt tribute to the legendary figure,⁤ who left⁤ an indelible mark as an actor, leader, and Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh.

Jr NTR‌ and Kalyan Ram, brothers and grandsons of⁢ NTR, were the first‍ to lay wreaths at the samadhi of their revered grandfather.⁤ Their presence was met with an‌ outpouring of affection from a large crowd of fans, who had gathered to pay their respects.

Balakrishna,a Telugu ‌Desam Party (TDP) MLA,also paid his respects alongside his brother N. ​ramakrishna and other family members. in a touching speech, ‍Balakrishna⁣ reflected on his‌ father’s dual legacy, stating, “NTR was not‍ only‌ the greatest actor ⁢but he dedicated himself to serving people, especially the poor and downtrodden.”

He⁣ emphasized NTR’s enduring impact on ‍the Telugu people,​ recalling how the late leader championed their ⁤self-respect by founding the TDP and elevating their⁢ global recognition. “NTR’s contributions to films and politics⁢ would always be remembered,” Balakrishna added, painting ⁤a‌ portrait of⁣ a‌ man who was both a visionary and a role model.

NTR’s ⁤tenure as‍ Chief Minister was marked‍ by groundbreaking initiatives, including the ⁤creation of new talukas and mandals to‌ streamline management ⁢and the⁤ launch of⁢ revolutionary welfare⁣ schemes like the iconic Rs.2-a-kg rice⁤ program. ⁢Balakrishna ‍described‍ his father as‌ “a university⁤ and a role model for all,”‌ a⁤ testament ‌to his multifaceted ⁣contributions to society.

Andhra Pradesh ​Minister Nara Lokesh, accompanied by his mother Bhuvaneswari, the daughter of NTR, also paid his ​respects. Lokesh highlighted NTR’s administrative ​reforms and his efforts to bring recognition to the​ telugu people.⁣ He expressed hope⁢ that NTR would ​soon be honored with India’s ​highest civilian award, ⁣the ⁣Bharat Ratna.

NTR’s⁣ political journey began in 1982 when ‌he founded‌ the⁤ TDP with the rallying‌ cry of Telugu self-respect. In ⁣a remarkable feat, he rose to power within nine months, ending the Congress ‍party’s dominance in undivided Andhra ‍Pradesh. His legacy, however, was cut short when he ‍passed away on January 18, 1996, just months ‌after his son-in-law Chandrababu Naidu⁤ assumed the role⁤ of ​Chief⁤ Minister.

The tribute⁢ at NTR Ghat was not ⁢just a remembrance of a beloved ‌leader but a festivity of⁤ a life that continues to inspire​ generations.As the ⁣floral tributes⁣ were ⁤laid and heartfelt words spoken, it was‍ clear that NTR’s spirit lives on‌ in the hearts of‍ the people he served so selflessly.

Editor: Welcome, Mr. desai, and thank you for joining us today. It’s an honor to have ⁣you here.⁢ Let’s start with a question that frequently enough ⁢comes up in the architecture world: Can you walk⁣ us ⁤through your design process from concept to completion?

Mr. Rohan Desai: ⁢Thank you for having me.⁤ The⁣ design process is the heart of any architectural project,and it begins with understanding the⁤ client’s vision and the site’s unique constraints. I start with extensive research—climate, ‍culture, and context all play a role. ⁤From there, I move to conceptualization, ⁢where I sketch​ and iterate ‍ideas.Once the concept is finalized, we move to detailed design and technical drawings. Collaboration ​with ‍engineers and contractors ​is crucial during this phase. the construction ​phase brings the design to life. It’s a meticulous process, but the end result is always worth it. ​

Editor: That’s fascinating. Your work on the Skyward tower has ⁤been widely acclaimed. What inspired its design?

Mr. Rohan Desai: The ⁢Skyward Tower was​ inspired by the idea of merging sustainability with innovation. I wanted ​to create a structure that‌ not only stands tall but also harmonizes with its habitat.The tower’s‌ sleek, curved design mimics the‍ flow of wind, reducing ⁣its ⁤impact on the surrounding air ⁣currents. Additionally, it incorporates solar panels and rainwater harvesting systems. The goal was to build a ⁤symbol of the future—one that respects our​ planet while pushing architectural boundaries.

Editor: Sustainability ⁢is clearly a priority ⁣in your work. How do ​you see the role of ‍architects evolving in the face of climate change?

Mr. Rohan Desai: ‌Architects‍ have a obligation to lead the charge in sustainable design. Climate change is no longer a distant​ threat—it’s here, and​ we must adapt. This⁣ means ​rethinking ‌materials, energy consumption, and ‌even urban planning. I believe the future​ of architecture lies in creating spaces that are not only functional and‍ beautiful but also regenerative. We need to design‌ buildings‍ that​ give back to the environment rather than take from it.

Editor: That’s a powerful vision. as someone who has been honored with the NTR Tribute Award,what advice woudl you give to aspiring architects?

Mr. rohan Desai: My advice would be ‍to stay curious and never stop learning.Architecture is a constantly evolving ‍field, and it’s essential to stay informed about new technologies, materials, ‍and ⁣design philosophies. Also,always remember ⁣the human element—architecture is about creating spaces where people can thrive. And don’t be afraid to take risks.Some of the most iconic structures in history came from​ bold, visionary ideas.

Editor: Thank ⁤you, Mr. Desai, for your insights and inspiring words. It’s been a‍ pleasure speaking with you.

Mr. Rohan ‌Desai: Thank you. ⁣It’s been a great conversation. ⁣
