"I'm always thinking about creating. My future starts when I wake up every morning. Every day I find something creative to do with my life."-Miles Davis

A creative person finds everything creative around them. A simple flowing wave or a star-studded night appears and is portrayed creatively by them. Nothing is a waste in an eye of a creative mind. He can convert any waste into a beautiful masterpiece. If more creative minds learn the art of cultivating their minds then may be the world will be left with no waste. 

Contributions made by people around:

• In the recent, Society exhibition at World Trade Center, I came across two girls from Rajasthan who had made beautiful utility items out of the stationery waste generated by us in day to day life.
• The Rock Garden or Rock Garden of Chandigarh is a Sculpture garden in Chandigarh, India, also known as Nek Chand's Rock Garden after its founder Nek Chand, a government official who started the garden secretly in his spare time in 1957.The Rock Garden is still made out of recycled materials. It is situated near Sukhna Lake. It consists of man-made interlinked waterfalls and many other sculptures that have been made of scrap & other kinds of wastes (bottles, glasses, bangles, tiles, ceramic pots, sinks, electrical waste, etc) which are placed in walled paths.
• The initiative made by Xavier’s college at Malhar Fest 2010 was quite appreciating. The youth playing an active role by conducting an event to make bags was amazingly organized to make productive use of waste newspapers.

The day-to-day green waste generated by us can be productively used to make manure and fuel. It would solve the problem of disposing waste a same time being non-polluting and source of energy.

I also try not to throw away any waste without using my mind. I try making best waste of waste generated. The experience of taking an initiative to teach the NGO kids to make news paper bags and candy sticks, cans, plastic bottles and coconut shells to create multipurpose stands gave me satisfaction and thought of Clean Mumbai, Green Mumbai. I feel glad when the waste around is generated productively…

“There are two ways of being creative. One can sing and dance. Or one can create an environment in which singers and dancers flourish.”-Warren G. Bennis

On 23rd September 2010, I had an inspiring lecture at my jewellery designing academy academy-Gautam Banerjee's Academy. I was unaware about the session. When I was informed about it. Initially I was forced to go for the session, as it was a compulsory session. My sir Gautam Banerjee had a spark in his inspiring words. How the simple surroundings around us can develop into a creative motif was the chief inspiration given by him. He showed how various surrounding could be replicated into designer jewellery. How a bird beak was use to make motif for a ring, a glass of water was use to make motif for a pendant, a burnt paper was use to make a motif for a necklace and an air conditioner panel was use to make a motif for s bracelets was all beautifully showed to me.

I can never imagine that the atmosphere we live in is full of designs. Each and everything creates a motif. And this motif is further created into a designing motif for jewellery, accessories, etc.

I was thankful, that a forceful session for me was an outcome for creative thinking. I myself created designs from the surrounding motifs, below are few of the designs made from the motifs I picked up.

"CREATIVITY IS INVENTING, EXPERIMENTING, GROWING, TAKING RISKS, BREAKING RULES, MAKING MISTAKES, AND HAVING FUN."-
MARY LOU COOK

Creativity is a boon. Universe is a nature's creation that does not stop us from being astonished day-by-day discovering its wonderful magic.

Creation is divining; it sometimes takes me to spiritual world where only my art and myself exist. Each and everything you find in the universe is a creation of some sort.

Even the destruction of rocks creates soil. Life is wonderful but it is made more wonderful by the creation of nature. Even the scientific inventions are man-made creations, which makes our life much more convent to live. An artist's painting or stone sculptures or even mundane things like creating new dishes is a result of creativity of a human mind.

I would go on to say that creating a beautiful life for your kids or sustaining nature for future generations is also creativity. Creativity has no bounce. The smallest task performed with perfection is a creation in itself. Creativity brings a spark to your life, adds color and gives a better perspective of life.

Though creativity is natural besides nature only man had an ability to create things to add comfort to his life. Summers without an air conditioner or winter without a geyser is unimaginable.

Creativity has a place in every face of our life, be it clothes, jewellery, accessories like handbags, purses, shoes, etc. Even when technology was not developed people created jewellery out of bones, horns, stones. Creation of space took us to the moon.

Now we feel nothing is impossible, the only thing required is an edge- Creativity and Curiosity.

“A dream is your creative vision for your life in the future. You must break out of your current comfort zone and become comfortable with the unfamiliar and the unknown.”-Denis Waitley

Architecture is a creative skill combined with science, which has produced many wonders of the world like the Taj Mahal of Agra, Coliseum of Rome, Great wall of China, Machupichu of Peru, Great pyramid of Giza, Hanging Garden of Babylonia, etc. are masters of creativity had created such wonders which are even appreciated till this date. In the modern world these wonders are preserved as heritage and serve as a pathway for the modern creators and also serve as an inspiration to reach great heights.

Creativity should not be suppressed. It should be shared with the world. Such arts of creations can provide an in sight into the minds of the creators. Architecture is a concrete example and a physical evidence of the creators mind. Such faultless structures make us wonder how these great masters had created these great monuments without the help of modern technology.

Now a day, we have the help of modern techniques as well as computers to aid us in the process of creation. No wonder we are now able to produce such huge buildings and great structures that could sustain earthquakes and other natural disaster.

From the core of the earth to the distance space, man is trying to conquer all.
