According to the web encyclopedia ….wikipedia…."to design" refers to the process of originating and developing a plan for a product, structure, system, or component …

As a noun, "a design" is used for either the final solution or plan (e.g. proposal, drawing, model, description) or the result of implementing that plan in the form of the final product of a design process.

 Importantly….A design is an original idea….a plan…a concept

We often talk of design in a very every day kind of manner….but behind each  design is a thought-process that is creatively charged !!!

We do provide some emphasis to the art of designing….but through these sections ….we would like the readers to meditate on the sheer wonder of a design-process !
Everything as we see in our phenomenal world….is the result of a design…..( including…as we often say….the grand design of the almighty !!!)

 Thoughts of GB SHAW on the concept :

``You see things, and you say: `Why?'
But I dream things that never were,
and I say `Why not?' ''

And what a modern corporate big wig has to say on design:

``I believe that quality level is determined primarily by the actual design of the product itself, not by quality control in the production process.''
