CSO my designation

Well a couple of years back, every other person was quoting CXO designations on there visiting cards, LinkedIn Profiles. A simpleton like me was easily jealous-efied, hence I invented a new designation which was not falsification but satya (Truth).

Chief Servant Officer of Soulself . CSO

I loved this designation, because each time I read it. I was reminded of my primary duty to my Soul - Self. Further my duty in role of 'Chief Servant'. A 'Role' in an 'Organization' has certain duties. So Servant in Chief of ones own Soul in the self has what duties?

The lesser said of this duties is better, because this is the primary knowledge of our livelihood/existence.

CSO was marked on my LinkedIn profile till my cousin working in Far East for a very very Large Investment Banker from NY,USA. Commented on it negatively.

So finally I dropped this 'too spiritual' self assigned Designation to

more benign Material World's designation 'Sr Manager at Kale Consultants'

PS: This designation is now 'PHD Research Student | Freelance Developer, Designer, Architect'

What is the Hidden Price of our living, Personal DfE Part 1

Quote : Daniel Goleman, Ecological Intelligence

'Our world of material abundance, comes with a hidden price tag'

Everytime you and me drives to place of work, leisure or worship, there is a cost associated with Petrol/Diesel/Ethanol/H2/Electrons we use. The so called material abundance, where-in human consumption pattern are disrupting the source of their nourishment 'the mother earth'. It is similar to young man cutting the very branch on which he is sitting.

Like young man in Indian history Kalidas, who ended becoming scholar with grace of goddess Kali. But will our present day civilization awaken even when the branch has started creaking and showing distinct symptoms of what is to be expected, fall of self.

To make myself and readers aware of the hidden costs, here is a code - re-factoring sample I intend to highlight on similar lines of Code Snippets of Martin Fowler from Book "Refactoring"

Code of Life - Morning

Present Code

1) Wake up in a AC room at 7.00 Am

2) Walk up to bathroom, start the electric geyser 1.5 KWH power

3) Pick up the toothbrush, open up water tap, wet the brush. 200 ml water drained

4) Brush interiors of mouth, to extent of comfort and life long domain knowledge acquired from dentist.

5) If the tap is not closed, consider 1 liter of water further drained

6) Flush 2 -3 times mouth with water to flush Saliva, Detergent, Sugar and some unhealth chemicals designed by fortune500 company scientists

7) Request somebody to make tea, for self made men, make you own tea, with subsidised Natural Gas, Water, Sugar, Vessel (factor washing/detergent) + strainer.

8) If you are well read, means you are addicted to newspaper and that means you will read newspaper, which at least india trys to make every reader more depressed. So lets call this morning depression pill taken in by eyes.

9) Take hot water bath, shower (50-100 liters water used / wasted) or from bucket 20 liters

10) Put 4-6 clothes for washing responsible for 1/2 batch of washing machine

11) Put on ironed clothes (shirt/pant/tie/internal linens)

12) Start for office

..... above steps can be customized to one specific situation ....

..... now proceed with refactoring / redesigning for environment ....

The better you redesign , better is chance to make survival of homeland earth possible

Giant Sudoku

Well since I took up PHD in Scientific Computing to build bridge between DFE and Mathematical Models, I have been reading book on environment impact assessment.

More I read More I come to conclusion of one fact, that this whole universe is a giant SUDOKU. Every transaction, source entity, target entity, Time, Space-Place occurrence has past, present, and future. Each is enacting filling up of a cell on a global Sudoku. Interestingly as this is executed by the almighty supreme creator of universe, Sudoku cell never gets populated with incorrect figure. This abstract person never goes wrong. Well the observer of the Cell may perceive the cell figure to be wrong based on limited potential of senses and resources.

So each occurrence has significance, and each event on giant life time is just unraveling of the mystery of hidden number on the 'occurring' Sudoku cell. My life is standing at one such interesting cell. Hence the curiosity of knowing future is too much.

This curiosity is the jest of life and elixir of mankind's existence.

My dear Friend Sushrut Vaidya, mentioned to me Swami Vivekananda's saying, that all the knowledge acquisition is just discovery of what already exists. And it is just concentration of human's mind on a given topic, and the subject reveals itself.

So with curiosity for my future, I intend to concentrate on PHD subject

"Assessment of Mathematical Techniques used in Design for Environment in Water Management Projects"
