The devastating pandemic escorted with fear, anxiety, and depression triturate the Aspirations of folks. The people contemplated and dreamt to achieve various goals but the grimmest epidemic let all this to become nugatory. This rife did not let anyone go with out tasting its acrimony. From rich to poor, powerful to week, politician to a common citizen and so on, in its entirety the epidemic of covid-19 let everyone racked with pain, haunt, agonize and whatever the atrocious. This pandemic has a very deleterious effect from a little toddler to our reverent elders. Although this uncertainty plagued us extremely, but simultaneously it lead us to learn lots of imparkations. With that we got the opportunity to explore the things which used to remain crimp earlier. This incertitude has lead us to discern the momentousness of various things and one important thing we got to grasp is that we should not let our hope die anyway. Correspondingly this pandemic has compelled us to utilize our thinking and work out solution to the problems and contemporaneous predicament. While finding out solutions to the problems and to ease the life of folks, the man utilized one important aspect of his intelligence i.e Creativity, and perhaps this is the only asset we had with us & can be utilized to, during this darkest period of time.
Let‘s appreciate. Every human being is an idiosyncratic in their abilities,thinking,reasoning,capabilities,capacities,perspectives,and every single human being living on this universe has his unique way of conduct while dealing with different situations and circumstances.Our creator has obviously created us to carry out certain obligations,duties and responsibilities,and whatever the situations and affairs it may be,we have to be conspicuous because we are the supreme and intellectual masterpiece of this universe. Despite the world being quantum leapgenre, but at the same time the world is full of possibilities and opportunities. Here it becomes imperative to ingeminate an American actor Milton Berle“If opportunity does not knock, build a door”. Absolutely right! That is how we should peek, to the world around us. The humans have the flair to permute any misadventure into an adventure. Thus we cannot inculpate to the situations and circumstances because we are the supreme creatures & we are the only creature bestowed with intellect, thinking, and reasoning. Inevitably! It is the state of affairs which compels us to think about the problems and in order to develop solutions to the problems, weneed to imply our intellect, we need think, we need to be innovative and most importantly we need to explore our creativity. that is what demands the present turn of events.
If you have the craze of becoming a poet, then this is the best time to explore such creativity. If you want to improve your technical skills, then take this pandemic as an opportunity and improve your creative technical skills and so on. This is how ideas work & how they create something useful and helps us to explore our creativity and ingenuity. To wrap it all up let me include an example of creative work by a local boy.
Creativity, the distinctive facet of intelligence, includes the ability to produce ideas, objects, or problem solutions that are novel, appropriate, and useful. Creativity is a skill that we can learn and develop over time. Undoubtedly we are lingered in our homes, and we cannot go out for work, undoubtedly we cannot attend the classes and so on, but by all means we can utilise or explore this invaluable time in some creative works, hobbies, ideas, passions and so on. At least we should achieve& effectuate something, as something is better than nothing. Let’s ponder about ourselves and explore our creativity through; If you are a person who is well erudite but never got opportune time to write, then take this pandemic as an opportunity and explore your art of writing. If you have the craze of drawing, then this is the best time to explore your creativity and start drawing beautiful pictures you want. If you are fond of becoming an artist, then take this pandemic as an opportunity and explore your art work. If you want to make book reading as your avocation, then have recourse to this opportunity and start reading your favourite books. If you have some professional skills and you have not got an opportune earlier to utilise them, then this is the best time to explore & utilise them and bring them into play. If you have the desire of teaching, then take this pandemic as an opportunity and start online teaching, master your skills and explore your teaching creativity. If you have the craze of becoming a poet, then this is the best time to explore such creativity. If you want to improve your technical skills, then take this pandemic as an opportunity and improve your creative technical skills and so on. This is how ideas work & how they create something useful and helps us to explore our creativity and ingenuity. To wrap it all up let me include an example of creative work by a local boy. Waseem Ahmad Nadaf, a 22 year old boy from Srinagar is working on his project” unique Waseem’s unique ventilator”. Interestingly this boy is going to develop a cheap ventilator from the left over scrap. He is utilizing the useless parts of computers, VCD players, inverters etc. Really the creative boy he is and a moment of appreciation for all of us. The most creative people find ways around obstacles because they see them not just as roadblocks but also as opportunities!
