A gift and challenge of being creative :)


Being Human = Salman Khan, Being Creative =Me, You, Anyone!!

Yes!! Being creative is not owned by anyone. You are the owner of your creativity.

A Picture says many stories. You see a picture and imagine many many stories behind that. A happy picture of a bride might seem happy to me but, sad to the girl who is leaving behind everything for an unseen future. Likewise, this is a post where I am gifted and challenged “of being creative” and “to be creative”. I thank my lovely sister “@Ramya “http://ramya-chitrana.blogspot.in/” for this gift and challenge.

I am challenged to write a creative post/poem/incident about the picture below:



As kids, making us sleep was the hardest task elders faced. Amongst the lot my uncle was a very creative person who put a seed of imagination in our minds with his short+sweet stories and told us to put our thinking caps on. He gave us situations to imagine and asked us the moral. The picture above reminds me of a situation he told.

"Queen of Kindness”

In the land of Kindness there lived a Queen, A queen who’s Grace- which matched a dancing Peacock, Elegance- which matched a noble Horse and Humbleness- which matched a holy cow.

As the Queen, so the people. People here were as humble as their Queen was. They never knew what cruelty was. They were the most beautiful looking people. They were known for the charity they did. They were the only ones who were first thought of, in good or bad situations.

As a kid the above situation made me imagine following things:

Land of Kindness: Mother Earth.
Queen of this Land: Nature.
Subjects who looked pretty: Flowers. (Though nature includes many beautiful creatures, I could imagine flowers as a kid.)

Flowers are nature’s gift which caters us for all occasions of life. Be it marriage, birth or death we use flowers as we use water. I feel they are the ones which live with a purpose and die for a purpose.

They give us pure air, a landscape to see, serve us with their blood which we eat as honey, they are born to help us and they die by helping us.

This is a small effort to write a thought about flowers:

"You make me smile"

You make me smile, you make me smile
You have always travelled with my life’s mile.
You were the one; I saw when I opened my eyes
You are the purpose for my surprise.
You are the teacher of love and care
You always spread happiness which is rare.
You made me shy, you made me cry
You have a reason to live and die.
You are so beautiful and so pure
You are such a sacrificer and a giver.
You are called Flower
You are the nature’s power.
A flower teaches us many things which we never imagine. Let’s hop and learn things from our natures nest and make this a better place to live.

PS: Hope I have completed my challenge of being creative by writing a post, an incident and a poem. Now, it’s your turn to taste your creative food.

Delicious creative meal a day, Keeps pains and sorrows away.

  6. You sure have amazing creativity Ranjana. You have taken up what I think is a difficult one and done so much justice to it. Yours is a fitting tribute to the flower which adds so much fragrance to our lives everyday. I really liked the Queen of Kindness story and the way you have made beautiful comparisons between the characters in the story and nature. That was lovely. And what do I say about the poem! It is so refreshing and oozes beauty. It was a pleasure reading this work of yours. :)
