Give concrete shape to your future
The boom in construction activity across the country has brightened the prospects in architecture

Manish Kumar Singal Architecture is one discipline that encompasses four major streams — humanities, science, art and technology — by giving shape to concepts drawn from them. It uses the philosophic wholesomeness of humanities, the logical rationalism of science, the passionate imagination of art and the inexhaustible resources of technology. There is so much exciting work to be done in this age of rapid urbanisation and technological advancement. — Manit and Sonali Srivastava Rastogi, architects

• "An architect must combine technical & creative skills"

OFFBEAT OPTIONS
Set your sight on the job of private eye
WITH the growing incidence of corporate crimes, extra-marital affairs, burglaries and murders, detectives are very much in demand. Private investigation is a calling that beckons those looking for thrill and willing to take risks. It is especially suited to those armed with a knowledge of criminology and possessing the knack to crack knotty cases, writes Pramod Chaudhari

SMART SKILLS
Networking is about give & take
by Usha Albuquerque
WHAT is networking, and why do you need it to get ahead? Networking can mean different things to different individuals. You're probably using it all the time without realising it. Think about how you find out about a new dentist, or computer repairman. How do you make your choices about what movies to see, or music to buy? How do you decide which programmes on TV to watch ? How do you know which car to buy?
