 This post is the outcome of my first time ever paid attention in one of the theory classes I have this semester. Actually the topic, the teacher & his way of teaching was worth paying attention to……topic was creativity

CREATIVITY – it is voluntary relaxing of ego-controls…………mmm forget it….even I hav no idea wat it means…
 From the day we jump out of our mother’s womb the conditioning of our mind starts & continues as we grow, we are taught by our elders certain ways or paradigm to do things & we start learning…….Later we step into skool and our mind is conditioned (technically ;) ) more by the teachers based on their own experiences, textbooks & few more mind conditioning talks …same process continues in college....(and thus a robot is made ;) )

But this ruins our creativity coz we don’t think in any other direction, we don’t think innovatively, we think based on whatever we have learnt in school or studied elsewhere…..textbooks becomes “truthbooks” for us.


This leads to one very interesting fact that why most of the great scientists, innovators & people who did something different were school or college drop-outs(I’m not promoting dropping out of ur school or college though , its just some random thought which came to my mind ;) ………as they were dropped out of the normal course of study, their mind was’nt conditioned as a normal student’s mind would be, their minds were fresh, were ready to think in any possible direction, let me quote some examples of these “dropped out heroes” 

 


Ansel Adams, world-famous photographer, dropped out of high school.

Benjamin Franklin, inventor, scientist, author, entrepreneur, no schooling :)

Colonel Harlan Sanders, founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC), dropped out of elementary school

Dustin Moskovitz, multi-millionaire co-founder of Facebook, Harvard dropout

David Geffen, billionaire founder of Geffen Records and co-founder of DreamWorks, dropped out of college after completing one year

Henry Ford, billionaire founder of Ford Motor Company, did not attend college :)

Ray Kroc, founder of McDonald’s, Dropped out of high school

Shawn Fanning, developer of Napster, dropped out of college at the age of 19

Simon Cowell, TV producer, music judge, American Idol, The X Factor, and Britain’s Got Talent, high school dropout

Thomas Edison, inventor of the lightbulb, phonograph, and more, primarily home-schooled, then joined the railroad when he was only 12

Walt Disney, founder of the Walt Disney Company, dropped out of high school at 16

George Eastman, multimillionaire inventor, Kodak founder, dropped out of high school

Frederick Henry Royce, auto designer, multimillionaire co-founder of Rolls-Royce, dropped out of elementary school

Larry Ellison, billionaire co-founder of Oracle software company, dropped out of two different colleges

Raghuram, Director of a reality show Roadies on MTV, dropped out of Delhi University in III year




And the list goes on…coz there are many more such real life heroes who used their regular mind to think irregularly….!
So don’t let your creativity die…..just erase boundaries of your mind, trust your instincts and make waves…. And think “zara hatke” ;)

                                                   SHE

I don’t know why but I’m getting a bit romantic now, may be because of the song (emptiness) being played on my laptop & the dim light in my room, whatever it is, I don’t want this moment and this feel to pass by so easily so why not to capture it in my blog………………but why I have named this post as “SHE”……..coz SHE is the reason for this feel & aura.
She was my batch-mate in skool but i don't exactly remember that very first moment when i saw her, may be b'coz  you don't remember the starting of a dream (as said in the muvi INCEPTION) and ya its a dream coz i don't know whether i'm gonna get her or not....so until then she is nothing but a beautiful dream..!
She joined the skool in 3rd grade and within three or four glimpses of her, i fell in luv wid her (u all wud hav,in your childhood skool days, with someone ;), but as usual she was completely unaware of this (y can't girls understand a boy's feelings, unless he approaches and tells them :/ ). And till the time i gathered all my courage & guts to go and just talk to her for the first time, she left the skool in the 9th grade (wtf...!  so it took nearly 6 years for me to.....and still i didn't do it :(  ) . Then started my hangover time which lasted upto 1 and a half year...i missed her like hell, she was all over me (not in literal sense.....  ; )
 she was in the songs i sung 
 she was in the movies i saw
she was in the books i read (red)
 she was in the prayers i prayed  
 

And as the law of nature says "all that starts will come to an end " so did my hangover, after which i kind of forgot her (voluntarily :P), coz  i wasn't that kid which i used to be, i was grown up (atleast i thought so...as all the boyz do after they clear their 10th grade..B) ) ....I was a free will now ,not gasping for any love or affection...i was damn happy....and now


she was NOT in the songs i sung  

she was NOT  in the movies i saw
she was NOT in the books i read
she was NOT in the prayers i prayed

But after a year or so, again the law of nature came into action ...........and she came back into my life.........i met her and this time with words.......but the dream is stil not fulfilled....! - 

(to be continued....)

                                SLOW REACTION


I think,  you may have studied about so called "Slow Reactions" in your 9th or 10th grade (or  11th??......errr....forget it) of school, in your chemistry textbooks. Today is the end date of one such slow reaction, which started inside me a year before and is finally ending up today with this blog & my very first post as its output product :-) .Actually, I just somehow thought of creating my own blog and that simple thought took one full year to become a reality and this is what i'm stating here as the "Slow Reaction".
And this slow reaction thing isn't new to me b'coz almost all the things i wish to do, happens in the same fashion  (but the best part is 'finally it happens' ;-) )
And pls don't get deceived by the name of my blog and think i have "nothing much" to write or to  express, it may mean dat i have ' nothing ' else to do nowadays, so i'm gonna write ' much ' (does dat make sense ?)........But wait!!...what is that "much" ,which i'm gonna write??.....i haven't planned that though...............but no probs.....coz there's always a Slow Reaction ;-) going in you,which will sought it out in the end...!
