Lives of the Different – Xcetera.
Bio:
Xcetera is an Architect by profession, and considers himself a writer by calling. Having been an avid writer from a young age, anything that involves words is his forte. He is of the persuasion that words are available to everyone, but it takes a certain measure of skill to be able to put them together like ‘lego’ pieces so as to create something truly memorable and beautiful. He hopes to cultivating his writing ability, as he believes he is to make a lasting contribution to the world through the same.
He is fascinated by the human pysche and a firm believer in the benefits of psychology. He has also recently completed a summer course in Copenhagen, all of which has enriched his experience as a writer.
The blog:
‘Lives between walls‘:
It is about more than architecture—
it is about the human experience of place:
the silent stories etched into concrete,
and the imagined worlds that stretch beyond the walls around us.

What makes your work different?
Well I have always been a thinker, and philosopher from a young age. Also I became embroiled in psychology, as a way to get through my tumultuous past, and this cultivated in me a fascination for the human psyche. My stories accept that we are all broken in some way, there is no ‘normal.’ Our brokenness is what makes us different, and that is what I write about. As an architect, I then explore the nexus between the built environment and the people’s lives that are shaped thereby.
Ultimately, you write what you are. Therefore what you have seen, heard or experienced, becomes your library as a writer. So these are not just stories, but pieces of me – Xcetera
