my quest for answers...........

Listening to A.R.Rehman's creations from Rang De Basanti @ the soundless odd hour past midnight is sheer bliss.

I wonder a many times from where does this guy scoop out such amazing compositions? What drives his creative juices to flow oh so effortlessly? Can I be as creative as Rehman?? I certainly need answers to these questions.
First let me try and find out what is creativity? If I go to the dictionary, it tells me that Creativity means "characterized by originality and expressiveness".Now how does one get impelled to be orginal??

If I look @ A.R.Rehmans music all these years,I find a stark similarity among his movies and it is that they were all different.Be it Roja or Bombay or Yuva or the very recent RDB.May be the reason which pushes him to give beautiful music every now and then is "Change". Directors always came to him with fresh ideas that propelled him to create such masterpieces.

So for me to be creative,I need Change.Recently I read the below line in a book by APJ Abdul Kalam.Change leads to a New Thought and a New Thought leads to Innovation. This must be so true.

Now that I found an answer to my question, another one crops up and that is What do you do when the absolute possibility of one getting a "Change" is null? What does one really do?
I think I am in pretty much a similar situation @ work.It is not that I am working @ a call center but the place I work is almost like that if not one. I work on the same old "Change Requests"(IT industry lingo) which are actually not changes.My brain is gathering rust by the day and to make matters worse my ability to change the situation is not that strong as I am just a baby in the industry.So I have to live with it.

Given the situation @ hand,I need to find how am I going to drive "change" in my work that would eventually make me more creative, more efficient, more agile in various demanding situations.Having a fresh mind everyweek even though the work awaiting me is very similar to what I did in the last week seems to me a challenge.

Now after putting so much of thought into this, I have another question.Am I analyzing the situation too much? I recently read somewhere that Analyzing your life makes it more complicated. May be it is true. I should stop thinking too much about the situation I am in and instead hope that things will change for the better for I know that HOPE is the very basis of mans very existence.

Ahh!! I feel so refreshing after writing down these lines.I am going to try making this my habit.Lets see how it goes.

KaNiWrItEtoo????

!!My first tryst with writing about my thoughts!!..Am I happy or what??...

I have the same feeling as everybody else has on this planet writing their first blog...the feeling my father had when he bought his first house(minus the tensions of having to repay the loan).. It just feels good to have your own space on the web....and for free..:)


I am happy that I made a decision to write(taking decisions is not my forte..I am a libran u see)....my primary inspiration being a few blogs that read in the past few weeks.I have ever been inspired enough to write anything just because I knew that I was a bad writer(my high school teacher once said so).But then it was a different reason to write then(score a grade) and now it is different(uncork my mind).I expect my blog to give me the platform to put forth my thoughts,questions,opinions and seek comments,solutions and rectifications from people.But i will make it a point to not try to "advertise" it as many of my acquaintances do.

I think I am quite a confused indivisual at this juncture of my life.I need to find answers to a lot of questions that crop up now and then.Hence I think blogging might help me vent my thoughts and find answers.
See,I already found the answer to my first question.iKaNwRiTeToO tata..
