I've always been quite inclined towards architecture/designing things, on a note i can say that i'm quite creative too ^_^ Thing is i've not got much of guidance for my further pursuing of my dream to be an architect, my family is filled with engineers Also I'm not very much aware of the future prospects and how to go about it, what to give into it and and how to plan my studies. If you all could help me a little. Thank you

Read through the curriculum, talk to local architects in your area where possible, do some reading by well known architects to get a (rounded) perspective on what the career entails. For good comparison I suggest the following works in no particular order: Thinking Architecture - Peter Zumthor Toward A New Architecture - Le Corbusier Ten Books On Architecture - Vitruvius Architecture In The Age of Divided Representation - Dalibor Vesely Invisible Cities - Calvino Boundaries - Maya Lin That will keep you busy for a while.
