Recipe of creative art and writing



To create something with a marked difference is the basic instinct of every individual. “ART FOR ART SAKE” is a very common understanding. Art never wants to be captivated within a specific ambit. Many of the elites are under the impression that both art and culture should have a free wheals to move because art and culture are averse to carry out any instruction. Creative art is a natural flow. A swift mountain stream adjusts itself on its own flowing track. It overrules any directive or obstacle. So as the creative art is. Creativity depends on the mental set up of the creator. Mind grossly dislikes direct supervision of anybody else. Mind moves according to own sweet will. Any formulated track to move is contradictory to its basic properties. Willingness or unwillingness is not the slave to anyone in particular. As creative art or creative literature is the projection or better be called reflection of our thinking and ideas it disregards any encroachment to that. None but the creator has only the requisite passport to regulate the gear of his/her mind.
There exists much appropriateness in this line of thinking. Creative art or creative literature is the perfect exposition of the beauty of mind. How will the creator beatify his mind it is his/her personal affair. A creator never mortgages his/her sense of beauty to anybody else. He/she creates his/her creation with unbounding pleasure. This pleasure subscribes the optimum delight in his/her mind and it prefers to remain inexpressive. When beauty of creation regulates the movements of the creator it is the feeling of exquisite loveliness and it leads the creator to an unknown world where his presence is only felt.
But when the creator wants to supersede the boundary of country and time with his/her creation he should not create from aesthetic sense of view. Without underscoring the sense of aestheticism even the least in creativity every art and literature deserves high acclaim when it leaves certain distinctive appeal to the society with an intricate bonding social, moral and human values. That very creation is called time-crossing and age-unbounding. A creative litterateur appeases his mental appetite without bypassing the commitment to the society. Sometimes time underscores his personal demand and personal willingness or unwillingness. Creative art and literature accelerate the storm in our mind for a better tomorrow. It neutralizes the decomposing elements in human brain. A true creation always aims at to do the well being of others. A creation is called no creation at all where obligation part is deliberately ignored. Suppose a creative literature is dignified as superb for its writing skill and presentation. But that very creation will be undervalued if that is not accepted in the parlour of the common mass.
Neither common mass nor the critics only are the best adjudicator of the creative art and creative literature. A painting may be termed as outstanding from the point aesthetes. A literature may be identified as priceless for its composition skill. But if that creativity does not inspire general mass or toiling mass in their life-struggle the essence of that creation is muffed up in confusion. Any creation does not aim at to point out the problem only. It should exhibit the way to come out of the crisis. A creation must have a visionary look subject to the missionary target to protect the decomposing society from further erosion. A creator must have to put up a very strong fight against the engulfing social decadence where his/her creation will act as the medium. That very creation is identified as universal crossing the boundary of ages. There lies the real pleasure of the creator.
I will be recognized as the creator but I will not accept the responsibility and obligation of changing the society where moral values and human values are bottom-touching. It is a greater contradiction and dubious too. A creator should never compromise with his/her ethical senses. He/she must not have a double-speaking mouth. A creator is not supposed to have any intimacy with narrow interest. Constant floor changing attitude of a creator with changing social scenario is always condemnable. It underscores his/her dignity. It damages his/her sense of prestige too. This very attitude confirms that he is not true to his/her conscience. He ignores his/her obligation to social commitment.
But is an irony to say that this tendency is growing up day by day. The creator is forgetting the basic principles of his/her creative identity. He/she gives in before the alluring beckons of safe shelter. It is painful to note that a large section of the creators is mortgaging their self-esteem and self-dignity before the decaying system. They are in a deliberate mood, obviously spoiled to ignore the interest of the common people who propelled his/her creativity a day. This is called the prostitution of ethical values. He/she may be a creator with all round versatility in his creation. But history will never forgive those creators for their betrayal. A creator who denies his source of creation is no better than a vile man. Never to show them any pity- it is the only inference.

Please write something with speaking too



Man wants to tell something in support to his logic and argument. It is very natural to every individual. But it is often seen that he gets tongue-tied when he comes forward to tell something. Arranging logic and arguments in sequential order to deliver speech on a specific agenda is obviously not an easy task. It requires constant practice and in-depth cultivation of knowledge on the agenda itself. Besides this, referral grip on other fields is also required to turn the speech more attractive with well synchronization of orating elements. At the very outset a good orator needs courage to speak before the audience with pleasing orating skill. No orator is taken as outstanding unless he can mesmerize the audience with his profound vocabulary of orating elements. Apart from that a speech appears to be attractive with an overwhelming acceptance if the modes of delivery, twisting modulation of speech, accentual delivery and the substantiality of the speech are well intricate. The pleasing personality of the speaker is also a factor to be well counted by the audience. Moreover, we can hardly call up all the salient notes of the speech. We can call up from our memory the synopsis of the speech. So despite having a command on the very issue we fail to communicate the audience perfectly because of the shortcoming of any of the requisite elements discussed above emphatically.
In consideration of the above, writing is easy. It is not an extempore presentation. Our elements of thinking and ideas can be translated into language through writing. We can amend the mode of writing in case it reveals not perfectly presentable. A writer edits his own write up as a practice if he is not satisfied with the presentation. The success of anything depends on the presentability. So a write moves in trial and error basis. So writing is not a quick fix, but a speech is always impromptu. Once delivered there is no scope of amending the speech. Many of us are under wrong notion that the appetite for reading of a reader will soon go off if skill of writing is not matured.  But maturity never comes in a day by magic touch. One can develop the art of writing simply by writing. There is no made-easy process of it. Rabindranth Thakur, Manik Bamdopadhyay, Saratchandra Chottopadhyay, Satyajit Ray and many other eminent personalities as such are the harvested crop of enormous labour and practice. Their writing skill was also developed day by day. So development of writing skill is no matter to ponder over so deeply with additional gravity. It requires sticking to it with never ending patience and dedication. In comparison to that, an orator covers much risk as he does not have any opportunity to be spared as such to amend that. But a writer can do that.
In the next phase we will talk over writing elements. Many of us go for a wrong introduction of the scarcity of writing elements. Keeping our eyes and ears open in our every movement outside constantly supplies our writing elements. Small trifling incidents can be converted into the signatory theme of our writing in quality of presentation. We often overlook many happenings in ultimate casualness. But a writer observes that with an analyzing look and it supplies him steadily the writing material. Many of us are inadvertent by nature. In that case they should take down notes in the diary for reorientation of thinking in spare time. Then thinking is a part of writing. True thinking in consonance with the true realistic analysis of different ongoing events around us supplies our writing material in profound abundance. Eminent writers collect their writing material from the soil of the society. They see the same thing but from a different look. They layer of their thinking is mingled with keen observation. After observation they go for a steady homework for elegant presentation of the fact with the help of pen and paper and obviously not bypassing their faculty. Their sweetness of writing is thus captivated in the form books or in the page of magazines or manuals.
If anyone wants to speak there is no issue. It is a constitutional right. None wants to breach our constitutional rights. A speech is usually forgettable with the ticking of time, but a book is always immortal generation after generation. A positive writing liberalizes our mind. It gives us mental pleasure and appeasement. It transports us to the world of creativity with independent originality. You speak. There is no debate. But please better write something every day and it will liberate you tearing of the shackles of bondage to the domain of true emancipation. What is the best contribution to the society if mass awareness can be formed against social vices and malice by writing in the purest form? One who can do this effectively is the real friend of the society. He may not be so much explosive like a good orator, but he exhibits fire in every of his writings.

“Not to be a showpiece” – a message to youth

Becoming a showpiece is the common trend of the day. Everybody is trying hard; the way is not a matter to count, to come into the limelight. There is none as such who is passive to his own exposure. The trend is steadily on the rife. So the showpiece culture is now gaining hotcake popularity, especially among the youth. The youths of the day is now very much fancy to this showpiece culture without taking into account the substantiality in it. So it is breaking out the S.M.S. or M.M.S. culture, the FACE BOOK culture, SOCIAL SITE culture in an epidemic form. Rarely it is discovered a single youth who does not take interest in this culture. An inquest analysis will reveal that almost every one of the youths is addicted to this culture. An untiring hard debate may continue on merits and demerits of it. Someone can talk in favour or against the motion in placement of his irrefutable arguments. But it is an undeniable fact that this is the resultant vector of showpiece culture. In the midst of thesis and antithesis the only synthesis reflects that every one of the youths wants to be showpiece without having so much reliance on quality culture.
Adventurous youths are always very much keen on becoming passionate to the genesis concept. With an outstanding advancement of science with contemporary technology electronic gazettes such as mobile phones, computers are very much familiar to the present generation youths. They are using them as toys. They are taking massive interest to capitalize the benefits of them as users. None of the present generation youth, indifferent in messaging or face book friendship is traced out. New friendship is always solicited. But before doing that youths must have a firsthand knowledge on true friendship. Friendship does not signify chatting through face book or internet. I am not decrying the utility of face book. But I am afraid of the demerits. I am scared of the showpiece culture. It does not render any privilege to us. It leads us to bankruptcy.
Showpiece culture approves insolvency in one’s inner apartment. Anyone in particular with qualities in abundance deserves acclamation by default. A man of quality carefully avoids the showpiece culture because he always wants to bypass appreciation. He believes that appreciating words, in many cases puffed up, spoils the opportunity of going further in search of elegance. A quality conscious or quality loving people lead a life in a very low profile. They hardly tax their brain in question of recognition. They don’t want to be a showpiece at the corner of a well furnished and decorated drawing room. They are reluctant to beat their own trumpet. They don’t want to be captivated in the parlour of appreciation. They rely on universalism. They never want to be in haste for approval of their qualities in terms of showpiece.
Youths are usually restless by nature. They believe in quick fix culture. They don’t allow sparing conceiving time even. In today’s fast moving world they want to mature everything just simply with one stroke. Their movements are now in also ultimate strangeness. Their demand is always up-growing. There is no point of concurrence of their expectation and their ability. Showpiece culture dominates this particular state of discontentment. Today’s youth wants have their target being fulfilled at any cost. They care a fig for taking into consideration the appropriateness of the target. The question of principle, morality and justness is often undervalued out of arrogance and stubbornness. It is aftermath of showpiece culture.
Showpiece culture contradicts righteousness. Cases of suicide of teenage girls are often taking place leaving us in a hopeless state of mind. It is really frustrating for all of us. The reason of committing suicide is also very strange. Responding to the call of the world infatuating love a male youth and a female youth come close. They enjoy intimate moments. But taking the advantage of that when a threadless picture of the female youth is circulated through MMS there stands no option to challenge that out of shame and she commits suicide in order to be spared from the hands of endless shame. That is the irony of showpiece culture. Today’s youth are the worst victim of showpiece culture. Almost each and every youth is very much fascinating with love-love game. It ignites the flame of infatuation. And to be serious to say, he or she loses the power of judgment in this state of mind. It is a pity to note that love has now become a commodity and the price of it depends on demand. In order to materialize that growing demand the youths are now very much ready to be treated as showpiece.
Youths of today has almost forgotten the very common saying –“First deserve the desire.” To step up deserving capacity is not an easy task. Deserving capacity is directly proportional to the qualities that on should have. The display of facade beauty is not directly proportional to the qualities inside. The quality conscious and quality loving human being hardly cares of their glittering glamour. They enhance their attractive power by increasing the deserving capacity of qualities. A youth can desire anything he likes. But at the very outset he should know his limitations. If anybody knows the focal point of his limitations he will never pamper showpiece culture. He will try his best to improve his qualities relating to human values and moral values.

Let the youth of the day go for searching the real truth of life in perfection with total avoidance to showpiece culture. They should always remember that it undervalues their worth in quick succession. A person who is going deep down under the attraction of false allurements of life is sure to be lost in the fray of life. So it is now very much needed to keep away from the culture of total consumerism because it ensures insolvency in life.

Darkness exists under the lamp-shed of publicity



Now it is the age of publicity.  In the domain of marketing and advertisement the need of the art of publicity is a reality and undeniable too. The direction of publicity in the world of total consumerism is different because the popularity of the product is largely associated with the gratification of the user customers. No product stands as a saleable item if it is not attractively established through entertaining publicity. Before the age of consumerism demand base production was the basic philosophy. Question of production and marketing arises in compliance with the market-demand. But that theory is outdated now. Pathfinders of the marketing world now think of launching a new product and the remaining part to popularize the product rests upon the mind-blowing publicity through advertisements in Electronic and Print Medias. This sea change in concepts and ideas has already rocked the publicity world. It is the indication in crystal clarity that the liking and disliking of any individual is not the matter of his own. Our liking and disliking are the dancing puppets in the hands of publicity. Then are we to believe that we are the robot to be controlled by a distant remote? A hard debate can be allowed to continue in this context. A search for “WHY” and “HOW” is definitely a requisite of today.
To have an exposure in precise perfectness is the natural instinct of every individual being. Every one of us wants the recognition of our own performance and publicity is a valid consideration there. Very few of us are found averse to publicity because recognition and publicity are intermingled. In earlier days when Electronic or Print Medias were not so popular publicity from face to face was very common. But now publicity is reigning unchallenged in different forms and techniques. But the publicity what influences the truth and false does not confront with the ethics of publicity. That is happening now in every of our footstep. We are becoming confused and misled in the exaggeration of publicity. We are in trouble to identify the truth and false. As a result of this we are often mistaken to choose the right thing.
Decorated and well arranged lies often appear as truth by courtesy of publicity. Hyped up publicity with audio-visual presentation compels us to accept lie as truth. In the world of press and media there runs a very common term “YELLOW JOURNALISM”. It signifies to cater news as truth having no such foundation at all. It is an offense as it misleads us with a distortion of the fact. In the same way wrong publicity is also an offense as it influences us in the reverse direction. And it is called darkness under the lamp-shade of publicity. No doubt it is the crisis of the day.
The shameless publicity behind the face and mask is generating greater contradiction every now and then. As publicity has a definite impact on today’s society we can’t avoid it. There is obviously certain science behind it. It acts as an applied science on human psychology. But before going for all out publicity we should think twice of the effect of it on us.
The publicity what humiliates the ethics of morality coupled with humanity can never be allowed to continue without showing ultimate reservation against it. If we place the qualities of today’s publicity elements under a scanner a high percentage of them will be underscored in aesthetic consideration. If any publicity brings down our human values to the ground, that is always regrettable. To be very frank to say, TV ads of today, not all but obviously a major percentage are really frustrating because of the absence of charming dense. Many of them sprout up primitive instincts in us. The ads of condoms or hot drinks in TV ignite our lust for female folk. Does it not demand a rethinking? Why should almost threadless woman body come as an advertising element? This concept pulls down the purity of the society to the ground. Even after that, we will remain passive. This can never be continued by any sense.
The publicity what damages or wounds the main stream of culture of the society is always condemnable. Demoralization of publicity is really concern today. It is eating away the noble senses of all of us especially of the youth. If we want to protect our society from the onslaught of the evil vices of publicity we are to raise mass awareness against it without showing any laxity and sluggishness. It is the verdict in favour of healthiness of our mental set up. We should all come forward to launch campaigns against publicity evils because the side effects of it is really alarming.

Mind in its strange whimsical movements



We are the traders of mind. Mind changes its colour encountering different phases of life amidst climax and anticlimax. None knows the address of mind. It never allows any intruder to enter within its boundary with an unauthorized password. It always wants to live in isolation. The reason is unknown because it is not easy to open the doors and windows of mind. Mind never signs any power of attorney to transfer its propriety to anybody else. It never moves in a disciplined way because of its strangeness. It does not want to be captivated within a specific ambit for long. So, none can catches hold the reins of mind. The movements and characteristics of mind, though in full of strangeness, can be regulated to some extent with the soft touches of feelings, sentiments and emotions. The love of mind is always unadultered. It grossly dislikes double speaking faces. Achievements what we acquire in our life are sponsored by our mind. It is definite that the scope of our achievements will be deferred by default if mind does not assist us in total alertness.
Mind is always in a fluid state. We are the basic architect to give our mind a perfect shape as per our personal inclination and requisition. As mind does not abide by any specific agenda within a prescribed format we are to accommodate its whims and strangeness. We don’t have any option to ignore it.  But we hardly take this into account that this strange mind, always whimsical by nature, forms our character and mental setup. How does it happen? How does this mind regulate us? How does it conceptualize different innovative ideas? How does this floating mind beget creativity? Mind contributes a distinctive role behind all our achievements. It’s a universal truth. If anybody takes any interest to go in quest of the reason he must have to be more analytical with precise accuracy. Only a research mode analysis can unveil the real truth behind it step by step.
There are two minds in every one of us. One is conscious mind and the other is subconscious mind. The expression of conscious mind is understandable to us because it wants to expose its action and counter reaction without any hide and sick policy. Every understandable action of ours is the resultant outcome of our conscious mind. It dislikes concealment. Simple litmus test is enough to ascertain the movements of conscious mind. But problems evoke in case of subconscious mind. It does never want to subscribe in frankness. It prefers to be interned within its known boundary. But it is really strange to note that this introvert subconscious mind is the principal regulatory tool to gear up our mind for a better tomorrow. Subconscious mind is our conscience and it never interprets wrongly. It always guides us in the right track because it demands always perfection. If we ever do anything unwanted or unsolicited the subconscious mind is severely wounded and always pricks to our self-identity and self-dignity. Our repentance is the resultant force our constant pricking to conscience and it is repentance that brings back us in the main stream of life. We understand our mistakes and go for necessary rectification in due course of life. So, subconscious mind is really great while we sit for accounting importance of it in our life till our last breath.
Yet, the strange whims of mind are inexplicable. The want of our mind does not move in a straight line. It is bohemian by nature. The appetite for mind is always disguised. As soon as we sit to explain the reason we get confused with inadequate data. Mind wants to fly on the wings of imagination. It wants to fly to infinity. The whims of the mind are really interesting. The vagabondism of mind is really funny. Our mind hardly builds up a permanent intimacy with any particular theme or idea. It is because that our mind always moves under the attraction of new concepts and ideas. Old concepts and old ideas, not in all cases suffer from stagnancy and it is equivalent to extinction.
