Creativity and Innovation..

How can you teach someone to be creative and innovative? Well, for that you will have to attend my Creativity and Innovation lectures. Our professor is trying really hard to squeeze out all our creative juices. And the best part is, it is fun and pointless at the same time. There are in class surprise quizzes with questions like - come up with 3 new flavors of ice-cream and sandwich, write a poem, write a story in 6 words (this can be interesting. Eg - She fell from roof & never landed), etc etc. 

But I still wonder, how does he mark us based on our answers, for what I feel even a random piece of shit can very creative in someone's eyes. Creativity as a topic is all perspective, which changes from person to person!

Anyways, the other day he gave us an assignment to create a new creature which can be a hybrid or a totally new thing. Asked us to detail it out. Draw its picture. 

How on earth do you come up with new real living purposeful creatures? But an assignment is an assignment, and as MBA grads we have the ability to create anything and everything! 

Warning: Please don't be amazed by our thought process!!!

Meet our invention (even though its just on paper. :P) : CHIROTUS

Its a creature that helps us solve traffic problems! It flies us from one destination to another. We sit in between the two humps and fly with it. We wanted it to eat plastic for its survival, but we dropped the idea (as it didn't sound real. Hehe) and made it herbivorous. It rolls its feet while flying. To defend itself from its enemy, it spits out a blinding spit. It makes you happy. Takes in CO2 and gives out oxygen. Etc etc.. And guess what, we even gave it a sound!

Well, being creative can definitely be fun!

That time of the year!

It is THAT time of the year again!
The white winter is about to fade away and the summer is coming along with its bag full of bright colors. Days are not very hot and nights are not very cold. The fan swirls at its comfortable steady pace. The cool breeze on your face at mid-night gives you sweet shiver and makes you wanna wear your favorite sweatshirt and long of a steaming cup of hot chocolate. It is the period that marks the end of January and the beginning of February... My favorite time of the year!

But this time, its much more special, for a whole lot of special reasons. This year, I have been longing for that rendezvous more than a steaming cup of hot chocolate. Wanting to wear that special cozy jacket more  than my favorite sweatshirt. Longing for those weekend getaways and nice nice things that has filled me with the world's happiness. This year its all about that special feeling which is making me glow more and more.
And the best part is, I get the chance to celebrate what I had been wanting to since like ever. And as that special day, which is always filled with so much of love, is approaching closer and closer, I can see my excitement doubling and tripling and jumping out from its confined space to some place high up in the air.

Finally! Its that time of the year, which would be the prettiest of all, in years that went by and in years to come! :)

Hey there D...

Lyrics and Management class has sure taught me the power of lyrics and background score not only in film industry and advertisement but also in our own personal life.

Songs play a very important role in our lives. Apt lyrics can generate confidence, determination and all other management fundas learnt in a B-School in oneself. They can make us happy or make us cry and sometimes both at the same time. They can make us miss someone like crazy. And can make even the worst dancer move on its beats. 

For me, lyrics form a very important part of the song. Often  times than not, I connect myself and my life with the words. Each and every song speaks out a story to me and most of the times I picturise myself playing a lead role in the story being portrayed by the lyrics. 

This one, definitely, without slightest doubt, shouts out OUR story.....
