What's more preternatural...'real life' or 'fantasy'?
Majority direct me towards 'fantasy'. Pragmatic enough! But,I wouldn't budge.Real Life... Dramatic and magical. Though,slow in progression.
My experience relates to my personal experience in 2007-08 which gave me something to gyrate around and solicit the Almighty," Did I feel your presence?"
Just like many,I had dreams in my eyes...those of making it big in the world.Cursed by parochial opportunities,had meagre chances of escalating.
Education is one front where a normal middle-class person can find a platform for himself.Graduated with a modest B.Sc. in Chemistry and Botany that didn't ramify into much options to vye for.All the while,the naggard kept mugging success hymns without making a permutation for succcess.But,I had an ostensible restlessness...a grudge.Parents' dreams,peers' expectations added bricks to the starving wall of my mental construction.All this period,I found myself a miniature in the process of evaluating myself.The baseless comparison to my beloved impugned my existence.Am I here to be a loser?With dedication and an unpoverished dream,I took up an exam I wasn't prepared for.Doomed to fail,the chances of making through seemed preposterous.I settled myself with other priorities.
A canon says-'Dreams dreamt with open eyes,commitment and dedication,patronised with an urge to attain them are often blessed with the Almighty's blessings.'
True! A month's lapse proved the verity of the statement.I qualified the exam with astonishing result and entered one of the most desirable B-schools.Money,here tried to convince my further credentials and opportunities,but,was there anything I should have restricted myself for?
Unintentional past insomnia had developed writing skills in me.Here I am...a recognized blogger for my institute who is ready to immerse myself in the glamorous pastel shades of the sky...this time,fearlessly!
An acquaintaince interrogated a few days before,"Did your past experiences create the penchant for writing or was it there bosomed?"
I replied,"Creativity is innate. It can not be aroused."
Do you agree?

Interesting take on Life, Creativity, and a lot of things in between. Agreed with most of the things that you have talked about here, especially the fact that education becomes a platform for the "normal middle class person", as you call him. However, in the wake of the reservations, and the soaring fee structures of the B-Schools, it somewhat puts the educational platform beyond the reach of the normal middle-class person.
As far as the restlessness against parent's dreams and peer's expectations et al is concerned, all I can say is life throws things like this at you from time to time. For me, it makes life interesting, to be able to overcome these challenges and doing what my heart truly wants me to do. Some may call it selfish, but I don't.
Creativity... that's innate, but I've seen that it can be aroused. If it hadn't, I don't think I'd have been able to string words together like I've learnt to do now.
I've noticed that this comment has gone quite long, so I'll wrap things up here. Will keep visiting this place, you've certainly got panache.
Cheers...
Thank you, mate!
I appreciate your views. But I still clinch to my statement- 'Creativity is innate'. It, surely, must have been within you. However, you have recognized it of late! One keeps learning things about him/herself through introspections in tandem, throughout his/ her life.
Best wishes!
Excellent- both content and form! All the best!
