'God is like a mirror. The mirror never changes, but everybody who looks at it sees something different'.
This directly projects on our thoughts and the way we look at the situations. And here, our mind can also be our best friend or our worst enemy. It's in our power to make it one or the other. So, we need to know exactly what we want and what for are we here. We need to introspect ourselves. But will anyone know exactly what they want? Because wants do change with respect to time. And what for are we here... Do we ever ask ourselves? God is omnipresent. He is present everywhere and even within us. We just need to discover Him. And, we will.
This quote just made me to retrospect on my previous posts which talks about mind control and focus on enlightened path. Really, there is a lot to know in this world.

Creativity is to think differently by making our task easier and simpler. It just gets out our innate talents. We just need to identify them. We already see ourselves working on it. They can be ads on TV, paintings drawn, or projecting ourself in a different way by learning new things everyday or it can even be a problem in our daily life which we are supposed to solve.

We do have different quotes regarding it, like :
Imagination rules the world.
- Napoleon

If at first the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it.
- Albert Einstein

We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we create the world.
- The Buddha

How a Creative Person Will Be ?
curious, enjoys challenge, optimistic, comfortable with imagination, sees problems as opportunities and interesting, challenges assumptions, doesn't give up easily by working hard.

Few Questions To Test Ourselves:
How will you make a roman number VI as 7?
How will you make this roman number IX as 6?

If you all have questions regarding the same, just keep adding. So, we all can share it.

I have been tagged by Sush, Lalitha and Mommyof2. Thanks to all of you for directing me towards myself. I just clubbed both 9 weird things about self and 8 things about myself. For the rules of tag, click here. Now, here am I...

I have got a bad memory in recalling names. The second time I see a person, I can never recollect their names. I again and again ask them until I get the same. But, I do remember their faces.

I need someone to challenge me(only if I am interested in it).If any one says you can't do this, I'll definitely show them that I can do it. This happened with my brother and my colleagues too. My brother used to tease me that I can never drive a two wheeler. But, I learnt it by myself and showed him the same.

Hearing a dialogue of a movie, I can try to tell the movie name. But sometimes even this is not working these days. ;).

I love to eat food when served hot and it should be tasty. Even though I cook, I can never eat it, if it's not to my expectations.

I read novels, but never again. It will be only once. Once done, it's done. Might be because, I capture the picture in my mind while reading. The only thing I try to read again and again will be parayanam of a God, that is to test my patience, my recollecting capabilities, my commitment.

I can never eat items when they are too cold. Let it be a cool drink or an icecream. I remember you sush, the way you used to tease me when I asked for 'cool ga leni cool drink ivvandi' means 'give me a cool drink which is not cool'.

I am quite often interested in anyone talking about spiritual matters or something related to God. I just join them very fast and talk a lot about the same. I am very much excited about it. And at the same time, I enjoy worldly matters.

I talk a lot when I know a person, else I just try to keep silent until I know them.

I hate the people who try to act smartly(negative dealings). I just try to correct them, if possible.

Now I tag :
the path, drama diva, my life, viva forever, white forest, scientist suresh, ..., young indians, random thoughts.
