Two years ago, I got a sms from my friend. It was bit long in length and bulky by its memory. The message was for the current generation that we should be proud of this generation. We have seen a lot and experienced a lot, from a break-up to managing some thousand money for a friend. And we have done all these things in this teen-age….etc…etc…etc.

Was that real?

I am no more a teen-age college boy. I can search good stuff on internet. I can comment on a Salman Khan movie that it’s pathetic (trying to be a matured viewer cum critic).  I can roam in artistic cafeterias, discussing heavy topics. I always try to be a well to do member of this society. Not because I am but because it’s essential to be different, creative, stylish, toper. It’s essential to be from a perfect school (definition of perfect school differs to individual), perfect college to get into perfect company. It is even more essential to be into perfect company to get next perfect jump. If any of these things is lacking in your mark sheets and call letters, you will be called failure.

Is it compulsory to be creative and philosophical all the time?

In this time, where launch of mobile phones are bigger event than a global summit, it is easy to communicate, to share, to be creative. Kids are becoming pre-mature. Youth is becoming lengthy and post/extra mature. There is nothing like agedness exists in this world. People are depended on health insurance, rather than their own health. People play extremely safe with their future (at least, they try their best).10 years ago, there was movement of learning English. Now there is a new movement of learning European (France, Spanish…etc).A 12 years old child wants to compete in virtual gaming, not because he is happy playing the game but because he has a dream of becoming the best international gamer of the year. A 23 years old engineer wants to be in the top company, not because he is happy enough doing his work but because there is a glamour of becoming the highest salary seeker in the group. A 40 years old surgeon doesn’t want to operate more and more bodies because he is happy to serve the people but because media records the magical number of surgeries.

We have changed the meaning of these professions. Everyone wants to be Creative, by any means. Creativity is a glamorous word nowadays. To be creative is easy also. Wear a Kurta and Jeans with Dark black-thick glasses with a cartoon diary and here you are creative.Lol.

If you have face difficulty and confusions, reading above article, mind it! This is the raw reflection of the creative society. There are many more points which can be included. Indeed, creativity is too popular. But the fact is: In our fast and complicated life, we have forgotten the real verb ‘To Create’.Yes, creativity falls from this verb. If we are not creating anything, we can never be the creative. We think a lot and do a little. We complicate things simply. We don’t miss to forget our things.

So, just for a minute, rewind your past and try to understand that how much you have digest and how much you have ate. Forget the entire mask that you wear and be simple with your work. Success, Failure, Philosophy, Lectures, Admissions, Abroad Studies are sometimes too heavy to think. Forget them. To be creative is nothing without creating something.

Finely read somewhere,Life is a meaning where the journey is more beautiful than the destination.
