Recently in a discussion with friends, it was observed that many in software engineering and other professionals are posting and talking about philosophy and spirituality (not necessarily religion).

For the past few years as I study deeper into software engineering, science, technology, life sciences and society i noticed that there is no difference between these topics and spirituality.

In fact all of them were nothing but different aspects of the same study. Personally it was rather easy for me to understand and relate to the topics if I understood the essence, the common sense thread.

It is like “reaching the point where all roads end from where all roads began”.

Buildings typically have huge windows and damn we need maximum electricity to cool the rooms when sun is banging on those window panels.

Nature, symmetry, cyclical, fractal, harmony are the themes that come to my mind.

Diversity and Inclusion

Human thoughts when expansive will lead to an inclusive mind.

The basis is in improving basic human ethics.

The talk of inclusion by focusing only on divisions sometimes lead to more fractures if one is not careful.

We need to create the culture of equanimity and harmony both in business and society by first building on the ethics.

Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam.
