I for Imagination

Today morning I was really relaxed...getting up around 8:30 in the morning (its just a bliss to get up without an alarm ringing right by your side!) and then lazily getting off my bed. Then I prepared a cup of tea and sat by the side of my room window...having something I have termed as 'Window Tea' (a new version of 'Bed Tea')...!!! It so happens that I get all these strange ideas and weird thoughts sitting by the side of my window, watching the open skies and admiring the beauty of nature. Hmm...seems like I will have to do something about this habit of mine (sitting by the window...!) or...maybe I will just let it be...

So today I was in a small tete-a-tete with 'Imagination'...! I was actually wondering why 'Imagination', 'Ideation', 'Innovation' and 'Implementation' start with 'I'...!!! How come a person just come up with the concept like 'gravity', just watching an apple fall from a tree...(I would not have imagined anything about gravity even if I was in place of this apple)

I was still trying to gauge the importance of this tool when I saw a few birds flying by the sky...which made me think the freedom they have to fly when and where they want (lucky creatures...! Had I the power to fly, I surely would have took a flight of my life during the microeconomics class ;-)...Alas, we need to depend on aeroplanes for the same effect...) But all this reminds of a poem by Robert Frost - "Birches". These days I have been kind of nostalgic (well I know the reasons but I think that is out of the scope of this post and blog as well...!) and it seems it has somehow helped me to be more imaginative. I don't know if I have reached the stage of innovation yet, but certainly I am planning to provide food to my imagination by gearing up for some travel (like a swing to get away from the earth) and then be back to the normal routine (back to earth). I need to restart some old hobbies, T-Shirt painting being one of them.

Well I have been vague in this post...but then that's how things have been for me lately...vague...spontaneous...like thoughts, like imagination. It seems that I need to take a swing, but, just for a while, and be back to begin all over, once again......
