he has been exploring/ researching fundamental questions regarding knowledge creation and aesthetic sense development in the context of colonization of the non-Western world and the subsequent homogenization of knowledge and aesthetic sensibilities.
Living with non-literate indigenous communities has helped him to explore the very biological basis of cognition and aesthetic sense.
Working with children has enabled him to understand how children learn naturally, how aesthetic sense gets awakened autonomously, and how modern schooling alienates modern human beings.
His focus of the present work is to enable the so-called educated to reclaim their natural cognitive system using non-teaching pedagogy developed in the course of offering courses for design and architecture foundation students.

The basic premise of the exploration is based on three things.
1. All living beings are learning and creating knowledge.
2. We are biologically equipped to create knowledge
3. The formation of the neural network depends on the experiences we have.
4. literates learn the WORD; illiterates learn the WORLD
5. Modern education totally disregards the importance of the sense in cognition
Illiterates create IMPLICIT KNOWLEDGE of the real world which is
outside the realm of language and this knowledge can be explicated by
becoming attentive to what is implicitly known (METACOGNITION). This
also doesn't require language as the observation is happening while
the activity is being done. The best example is the way implicit
knowledge of grammar gets embedded by the age of 3/4.
