RJMCEI, Main Campus

Simple, aesthetic, thought-provoking, enigmatic...... these are a few words that crop up in my mind when I look at these huge circles carved out of brick in IIMA. It's difficult to decide upon the best description for them, but then I make up my mind - magical they are!
Be it the Main Campus or the New Campus, they beckon you from every facade. They make you pause and ponder. Each time I see them, I can't help admiring them. At times, I just stop in my tracks to take in the interesting sight. Views through these orbs are ever changing.The majestic circular apertures at each end of the CR complex in Main Campus, the twin orbs of RJMCEI, the smaller concrete ones of the New Campus, they all speak to you in a vocabulary of light and shade. In nights, do these circles represent black holes of ignorance, suggesting the infinite sea of gyaan, waiting for students once they are inside the institute? The early morning shafts of soft sunlight pouring through these orbs surely beckon students to the portals of learning. As the day progresses, they turn to solid beacons of light.
How do you interpret these circles? What would have inspired Kahn to design them? A circle is a never ending collection of infinite points. The institute serves the never ending quest for excellence.
I wonder if someone has ever counted the number of circles in both the campuses. Do let me know if you have!
