Engineers!

 When i was young, i used to find doctors fascinating. So are supposed to be the engineers. And, oh, yes, it is not merely a childhood fantasy. If doctors care for a life full of health, engineers of all sorts make life full of comforts, right?

A civil engineer builds our houses. A mechanical engineer constructs very many  devices  for it. An electrical engineer light(en)s it up. The bulbs and tubes light it up, while the fans and the A/C's lighten it with the right (air) currents. An  electronic  engineer and a computer engineer together make it tech,  especially computer, savvy. 

Engineering undoubtedly makes our life better through technology. The military engineering, for example, is truly helpful in making us safe, for instance. Yet what i truly find exhilarating about engineering is its use of logic and rationality. Engineering is reason-able indeed!

Unfortunately, however, currently, engineering is being used as a metaphor for often cobbling together impossible coalitions. What makes such and other more societal and psychological/philosophical/ social engineering a problematic concept is that it is an unreasonable mix-up, the antithesis of engineering as a way of thinking and being. Well, it is here to stay though; hope it soon finds its own Vishvaishwariya to make it both: logical, elegantly sophisticated, and socially and economically sensitive!
