Celebrate the Magic of Imagination
and the Endless Possibilities it Brings.
Creativity is the ability to make or bring into existence something new. Creativity is looking at things from a different perspective. “National Creativity Day” is celebrated on May 30th every year. Observation of this day is due to Hal Croasmun’s initiative. It aims to celebrate being imaginative and encourage one to continue their creativity. Though it originated in the US, the message of nurturing creativity has found resonance worldwide.
The word ‘Creativity’ originates in the Latin word ‘creatio’. It evolved into being above being creative in art. Creative individuals possess skills such as Problem-Solving, Divergent and Lateral Thinking. Creativity involves thinking outside the box, using imagination, and discovering novel connections and solutions. Whether through art or otherwise, creativity fosters resilience, sparks joy, and provides opportunities for self-expression. When people express themselves freely, creativity flourishes. Over time, the concept of creativity has evolved. It was in the 17th century that the term “creativity” was first used more broadly, no longer limited to religious contexts. The Renaissance (14-17 centuries) marked a period of immense creativity across various domains.
Step Away from the ordinary
and get that originality flowing.
A study indicated that more than 70% of creative insights come while people are in the shower. Dopamine is released in our brain when we do creative traits. Being more creative inspires us to see the world with a new perspective. One not only puts their ideas into perspective but also learns from the experience. Sometimes, the best way to be creative is to step away from what one is doing and return to it with fresh eyes. Spending time in nature can help to clear one’s mind and boost creativity. Listen to music, read books, talk to other creative people, and do not fear failure. The spirit of creativity knows no boundaries. The impact of creativity is not always apparent at the beginning. Creativity, when pronounced, is not always accepted by societies, pushing creative people to be on the edge.
Many of them have been revolutionary, from the invention of the wheel to the deploying rover on Mars. From the invention of fire to the most advanced modern innovations, their simplicity surprises everyone. In recent times, TV, Internet, iPod and VR Headsets and many more to come. What we use so routinely and take for granted, like paper clips, someone used the ingenuity to invent it.
Creativity is Intelligence, Having Fun.
Albert Einstein
India has a rich history of innovation and creativity, contributing significantly to various fields. The concept of zero, introduced by the Aryabhata, paved the way for computer language (zeros and ones). USB (Universal Series Bus), a portable storage device, revolutionised data transfer and storage, making it easy to carry and use. Ajay V. Bhatt, an Indian-American computer architect, played a pivotal role in creating the USB.
Research shows that animals can be creative too. They can invent new behavioural patterns, modify their existing behaviour to new contexts, or respond to social and ecological changes in novel ways.
Demonstrate creativity. Give time to channel it. Encourage those with creative traits to realise their dreams in art, sculpture, or whatever. The creative community deserves encouragement, and everyone should do their bit.

and Let the Imagination Take Over.
