Now this is keeping me awake at midnight......
When I started this blog, I had resolved that I would be fairly regular in putting in a few words here, but then since the beginning of the year, I have been a silent observer of what's been happening around us all...... Haven't been able to blog much.
It's strange that sometimes random thoughts really flow in a wonderful fashion into something that's worthy of being on this blog for you to read, but at some times these thoughts just don't flow....
I would love to figure out why it happens. Why can't the thoughts come out with a definite regularity is a question that has been bugging me since January.....
Blame it on the weather? Well, I don't think so.....
Or does it really make any sense to think about all this, for creativity just happens, when it has to.
Is impatience really the worst enemy of creativity? (A bit of rambling here - the talk of
impatience here reminds me of something that we normally see on flights. The moment the aircraft slows down on the taxiway heading towards the parking bay, in the rush to disembark, there is a mad scramble towards the aisle, to open the overhead bins, etc. leading to a royal chaos on the aisle. The result - a remarkably slow movement of passengers out of the aircraft.)
That's what happens in the mind as well. Too many random thoughts clog constructive creative thinking. Impatience certainly kills creativity.
The other day, I was feeling a little frustrated that things were not working out the way I wanted them to and put a status update on my Facebook saying - "Rajeev wonders why we have to wait...."
On this I got a reply from a Facebook connection saying "Patience makes you pay more attention to the details...hence it is so very essential... "
And that's the key to it. Talking of patience, I must mention what I experienced yesterday. A development that I have been associated with, professionally, for the last three years had been giving us all at work, constant nightmares - would it work at all? Is it just a grand dream? Is our money safe?
During the course of the these three years, there had been a number of false starts, quite a few moments of that awful sinking feeling, heated arguments and you name it, it was all there.
But when I was saw the development yesterday, it was beautiful - the creativity of the minds behind the development was evident, like a labour of love, a fine work of art. For me it was like seeing a baby grow. And that's when I said to myself, with time and with patience things will look good.....
And so I shall not worry about my blog. I will be patient and wait ...... But now I will have to go to bed!!!!
