A creative person Or an artist person?

We need to calm down a little bit. We get so overwhelmed by anybody who has a creative side that we get flattered instanty. 

Any fellow is know as creative because he does what everybody else is not doing. If all the people around you are painters, and if you opted out not to paint then you are creative since you are not like anybody . I think each one of us are creative, we just choose not to do something creative over doing something which pays our bills 'easily'; easily because something which you are good at ,will earn you money eventually .

I think 'creative' word is restricting our ideas and 'artist' word brings a whole lot of prejudices with itself. When you can create something, choose not to buy the same thing available easily, you are creative. When you have lots of ideas around one particular thing, then you are artist of that art. 

I have seen creative people and I have seen artists.My mom is very creative, she knows what menu to put up with which set of friends. She knows what furniture will go with walls. She can make a new set of jewellery from the bits and pieces of junk jewellery lying around. She knows individual things that will calm down each person in the home. She knows how to decorate perfectly any dessert or any showy thing. But when an interior designer is around, she cannot be boss because there is an artist present who knows this art better than her.

 

Artists are wholly devoted to their art. They think, breathe, see and listen to only those things which gets approval by their artistic aura(if you know what I mean). This kind of dedication is not everybody's cup of tea. It requires patience, dedication and a strong belief in your art.

Creative people just go for something that will be widely appreciated and accepted. They need to observe the people who they are dealing with.Their idea is to keep everybody happy including themseves. I think every artist should be creative if he want a wider range of audience. Suppose if a vocal artist is invited to a wedding and he has been asked to perform a song. If he is a creative person , he will go for a happy, well-known song. If he is not creative, he will perform on anything without thinking about the occassion or people or location.Artists make their living out of their art so it is not their fault if they are not concerned with what people might think. Whereas creative people are just concerned with making things better which is not always necessary. One can easily survive with simple things without adding any creative touch.

What one thing I surely know is anything which you cannot do, and some other person does it,then it calls for a good appreciation. You have to be a sport and appreciate the efforts. Even if it's a small help of making your presentation more presentable, or giving a personal touch to a very small space of your apartment by your artist friend. Art is meant to please your senses. SO when you do get pleased, don't hesitate to pass over a good appreciation to the responsible person.

And even if you think that you dont possess a single creative bug inside your head, just speak to yourself; it will help. And you can always excel in being an honest critic of the art.

Let's hope for appreciation(and less hope for criticism).

Discipline!!

Hi,

Be informed that I have already given up the urge to belong to this generation..So read this post assuming that author is from old school..
I find discipline very natural and helpful..It isn't about following a strict regime or organising everything that comes your way. Discipline is the attitude which helps you to do what is correct by general acceptance. Discipline is respecting others' time by being punctual,  being cautious about the way of talking to your seniors. It can be about maintaining the decorum of the conversation or being sensitive about others. 
My family is known to be disciplinary in all the possible senses. Growing up in the discipline environment was not difficult,  however it wasn't easy . I had the restrictions for everything, so does my parents.  Building this attitude in kids asked them to sacrifice their fun. We(my sister n I) were taught to be considerate, to be prepared for anything and to plan everything on advance. We were taught to be polite and think quickly on any situation.
Today, discipline is just for those studying in military academies because they require to think and act according to the situation. Remaining 95% of population is enjoying their "right to freedom". We are open to everything that can spoil us and  very comfortable in ruining our lives. Disciplined person is criticized and neglected and condemned to put restrictions. Touché! !
I strongly believe in the power of discipline and how it can shape a good future. When you are good at organizing yourself , you are helping to organise our country. And trust me, seeing your room clean, returning back home in sober mood and respecting elders are not bad things. But staying out late, consuming drugs and shutting yourself in the room are definitely bad. There is no charm of the things which can ruin you permanently.

Up for a change,
Mrunal

Respect your Life!!! Seriously!!

I am really stressed out. You know why? Because some jerk with no brains posted a disgusting fake image of a gruesome blister on arm of some person. I am not able to get that image out of my mind because bad blisters ruined one year of my childhood. I dont know what prompts people to do this kind of prank. The thought process behind such a cruel though very small act scares me. When you are feeling elated on disturbing somebody's day, somebody's mind,somebody's peace then how you can be trusted with a whole lifetime. Life time of 50 years is enough for creating more of such a nonsense stuff just to get cheap publicity on internet. Maybe this is a very small thing to be paranoid on but this is ruining my day, my peace. It's a huge thing for me. 

I was raeding one blog which had stories of suicide attempts. Out of 10 stories, 5 suicides were the result of high school bullying. Bullies in high schools are feared by everyone and the end result of non-stop bullying is suicide by the kids. Why do some people possess this kind of mentality towards the weak and vulnerable, this is really frustrating for me. To understand this mentality, I need to study psychology. Studies shows that bullies are people who suffer from bad childhood or themselves got bullied sometime.

I am scared to the core for facing the next day after reading this. I am not scared of the people, i am terrified of the circumstances that forces people to behave this way. I am terrified of the mentality of the 12-13 year kids to brutally beat a kid of the same class just for proving the supremacy. I am terrified of the negligence of the parents who dont know what their kids are posting on the internet, what kind of cruel images and jokes makes their kids happy.  

World is not a good place to live in.

Forgiven and forgotten. ..

I am embracing this toughest task and asking you to join me...Haa,it  seems as if I am driving a social cause for improvement of this society, but I am not. I am asking people who got hurt by my actions. I am asking you to forgive me and if you cannot do that,  at least forget me. I cannot be brazen to  face you all without apologizing.  Since some of us are not even on the talking terms,  so accept my apology here.
A very popular animated movie has a dialog "oh yes, past can hurt. But either you can run from it or learn from it." But it is not easy to learn frm the past because the thing which is to learn do stabs you at the same point like it did in the past.
Each person has some share of daily pains inflicted by the past. Maybe a person, memories or something reminds us of it everyday. But you can never be happy fully if one portion of your heart remains stuck in the past and bleeds. Maybe be the apology can help you get over the past..I am trying the same, I will be never forgiven in the worst case but I ll be at peace with myself.
Forgetting is easy when no piece when you have no grudge attached with the person. Grudges are ugly, they haunt the peace and howl in the mind..Let them go, let the person of ur grudge realize his fault..and even if he doesn't,  you have got nothing to lose..
People, please forgive me whenever I was at fault. .

Counting on you,
Mrunal

You wanna be rich..

In the coming few months, one thing that is definitely going to happen is the 360° turn that life's gonna make. Have we all not known about the fact that everything happens for a reason, if I am failing then it's also happening for a reason.  That's a very convenient and easy explanation that we can give to ourselves;for what's coming next is not known to us. I would love to dream very high but that doesn't make my capacity go high.
As you go on aging , you get the crunch out of your life. I am more than happy for my happy and uncompetitive childhood unlike today's generation because those years contributed a lot to my development and added treasures to my memories. Neither i care if I achieved good grades in my school, nor I care about my fellow classmates current status' in the society.
Likewise, I don't care what my position will be in the coming years or where I go for spending my holidays. What I care are the people whom I gonna remember in the coming years and with whom I would love to share my holidays wherever it may be.
Let your behavior decide your future because that's the way it is supposed to be decided. And believe me, if you can proudly call yourself a good person at heart, you are richer than 80% of the people and happier than 95% of the people.

No idea what's going on!!

Hi there,

I really want to get out of here, I really do. I cannot think of anything nowadays, I just wanna end this. But end what? my job,  my work, my life, my existence, what??? No idea.. Maybe this is a phase of the working career when you suddenly realise that life is not about working, life is not about getting paid, life is not about shopping, it is about making your minutes count. I want to make my minutes count but i cannot go on like this. I work diligently, I enjoy a social life and then I get a peaceful sleep. But in the night i cannot count on ething that i did in the whole day which i can be proud of. What am I doing? I blank and numb all over, i get fuzzy over little things, i get influenced easily, and i screw all the chances of getting decent life partner.My friend says that i am looking for the answers outside instead of looking for them inside. But how do i do that, looking inside myself? How?

Somebody better answer me, because i m clueless. These days i usually clueless about everything. What's happening? I am insecure, dont know what for. This is not what i had expected out of my life. Is anybody listening to this SOS message? This is really a life threatening situation.

God!!!

Desperately in need of miracle,

Cannot please whole world..

No matter how much I try, I cannot do the things which are acceptable to ALL. Sometimes somebody is going to get hurt and my potrayal will be of an ignorant person.  I have tried to balance out the things amongst all but it hurts me in the end. Sometimes you got to think keeping in perspective of the future. Sometimes you got to prioritize the needs. Sometimes you got to keep your interest at first place.
  I am not saying that I am the best judge but I cannot walk on somebody's road when I cannot see the destination ahead. If I come across a dead end,  it will be a wholly my fault. When i am the person bearing the end result whatever it may be, then I should be the person deciding the way to achieve it. Yes, advices are very important and welcomed but those need to be convincing.
If I have hurt any person knowingly or unknowingly, please understand the complexity of the situations which you are unknown to. The feelings which ought to be mutual and if they are not, then the meetings and conversations become burdens. 
I feel very glad when the other person draws the line of limt and expects me not to cross it. This means that we both are frank enough to respect each other's choices and individuality. But when I do it, very few people can withstand this logic. That's the reason for frequent clashes amongst people, couples, friends and partners.
Above all thoughts and logics are my own, please excuse me if those are not acceptable by ALL.

Feeling exhausted,
Mrunal
