Responsibility of Engineers above the government in a Democracy.

Corruption is often seen as a byproduct of monetarism — an unfortunate side effect of money-driven economies. But in reality, corruption is not a side effect. It’s the foundation of the current system . The elite have always had the power to influence governments, no matter how democratically elected. Human vulnerability to temptation makes this influence inevitable. Democracy, while noble in theory, often leaves us choosing between technically inept candidates to solve complex problems. But technical problems require technical minds . That’s where engineers and technologists come in. đź§  Why Technologists, Not Politicians, Hold the Real Solutions Unlike career politicians, engineers are trained to analyze, optimize, and solve. They understand constraints — limited resources, high demands — and know how to work within them efficiently. India’s very nature demands such technical solutions. With its vast population and scarce resources, only enterprise driven by engineerin...

Transhumanism is sustaining and the way of life!

Normal People : accept their limitation, which prevent them from getting what they could have Smart People : Give in to the temptation; accept slavery for small favors, like wine, women and luxury Challenger People : Question the existence, are visionary and often lead an exodus some way or the other. By the above classification I mean to outline the prominent category which is trans humanistic and choice would be the 3rd one. By now you must be wondering what is Trans humanism and why am I talking about this when the world is undergoing lot of other transformation. We recently started a tech blog and call that Trans humanistic approach to life. Soon our blog gained popularity and people started asking about Trans humanism. To be very frank even I had no perfect answer so did a bit of homework and here is my understanding of Trans humanism. There is no reason why the qualities of Einstein, Shakespeare, Mozart, Darwin, and Gandhi cannot be combined and the result yet would ...

Why Bihar should not vote for Congress

As the election draws near, politicians get more candid and their indulgence in personal fights becoming graver. There are offerings, someone promising rice @ 2 Rs/kg, someone equality by removing computers and English and preserving poverty, someone will fight against terrorist how still remains a question, someone taking cover of pretty faces, promising to decrease the ugliness quotient of Indian Parliament. The festivity of largest democracy, nearing elections in its full color. For the people It’s the time to recall and undo the deeds, relished upon them by some of incompetent governments they had in the past. I would avoid taking any names as I progress but intended people can be recognized and vividly imagined. At the centre of the story is INC India’s oldest political party. This party may have rightly served India but from my observation they are the ones responsible for destruction/demolition of Bihar. Couple of decades ago they gave a leader to the state which was self...

Why can’t a woman become a philosopher

One day, I found myself arbitrarily contemplating the enigma of the female mind—a thought that has intrigued me time and again. The answer, however, remains elusive, buried in an abyss beyond reach. Cracking the IIT or IIM entrance exams seems far easier in comparison. Just when I think I've discerned a pattern, the very next interaction defies it. Understanding when a woman is being truthful or merely reshaping reality to gain an advantage in the next moment is an art that no science has yet mastered. And the most formidable weapon? Tears. Even the gods falter in their presence. Rationality collapses, and one is left adoring whatever she desires. Many battles—both historical and personal—have been waged over this very predicament. But if the female mind is so intricate and sharp, why are there so few renowned female philosophers? This question led me to investigate, and to my pleasant surprise, I found a long list of female philosophers. Yet, they remain relatively unheard of in e...

Emerging catastrophes due to rising global temperatures

--> Heatwaves have struck North India; the temperatures have risen without any respite in the near future. Coupled with contamination of the atmosphere with construction debris and vehicle emissions, Indian cities have been rendered as a pathetic place to live. We will need to start preparing for the series of catastrophes that will befall us on our way to adapt to life at warmer temperatures. We are bringing online at least 1000 new coal fire burning plants, one per week in China alone. India is catapulting itself to catch up, with its frugal savings and foreign investments. These foreign investments want Indians to consume assuming that resources are infinite and there are no entropy disturbances in the process. We will add 2 billion additional automobiles onto the world’s highways and fossil fuel engines will still power 70% of them. We have now changed our atmosphere that has been stable for the last 650,000 years by digging up ancient sunlight stored in plants t...

Changing Social Cognition of Bihar

I know a lot is being said about the changing dynamics of the state. My surprise findings in the last one month stay in Bihar is the change in people’s behavior. Earlier people use to be arrogant, impatient, short tempered and totally uncivil in nature. The relentless corruption, poor administration, rising population and diminishing job prospects, social division, large dependence on fraud and cheating to sustain livelihood, depleted education system resembling the pre-independence era, shaggy infrastructure, non-existent judicial system and dead industries were causing frustration among the people. The ominous result of these accrued frustrations was quite visible in their behavior. Let’s not forget that the above mentioned factors were result of poor-governance (a governing body which itself had common Bihar touch, so what was needed was a government which can insulate its ministers and aides from these social norms which obviously would require sacrificing the comfort of power a...

200 ml of milk @ Rs 17

One fine evening, I asked a grocery shop for 200 ML of milk packet. It cost me Rs. 17/- . It came in a tetra pack with some flavor. I bought the milk and was happy that for the time being my energy needs would be satisfied. High cost is not a deterrent for me. Usually in villages in 17 Rs one can buy more than a liter of milk, mind you. In the end of the last sip I was left in the lurch, when I was looking for a dustbin to throw away the left over packaging material of the milk. I walked few 100 meters then saw a place where I could throw away my empty pack and the scene was what shocked me. The whole area of around an acre or so lay covered with such packets and plastics everywhere. Then I hit on two subject is this globalization helping cut down the cost or we simply using more material and energy to deliver 200 ml of milk to the end customer. The cost of 200 ml of milk is now Rs. 17/- Then I quickly realized the Gandhian Philosophy of local sufficiency and sustainability and why su...

Why the people of Bihar should not vote for Congress

As elections draw near, politicians become more candid, indulging in personal attacks that grow graver by the day. Promises are made—some offer rice at ₹2 per kg, others vow to uphold equality by eliminating computers and English, effectively preserving poverty. There are those who pledge to fight terrorism, though how remains a mystery. Meanwhile, some take cover behind glamorous faces, vowing to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the Indian Parliament. The grand festival of the world's largest democracy is in full swing. For the people, this is a time of reckoning—an opportunity to reflect on past governance and undo the damage inflicted by incompetent administrations. I will refrain from naming individuals, but those familiar with the political landscape will recognize the figures in question. At the heart of this discussion lies the Indian National Congress (INC), the country’s oldest political party. While it once played a significant role in shaping India, I believe it bears r...
