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.
