Innum oru Murai -- Once More

How am I represent creativity in the form of a mathematical expression ?

Even such a thought is terrifying and i am still find a good title , I suppose :)

Finding a creative way and adapting it to the routine takes more effort. It requires exploring one more option even after finding a final style to experiment. In accordance with that let me title is as ' Integral n --> n+1 ' .. lol .. it's getting complicated, isn't? Let me just name it as 'Innum Oru Murai : Once More'

Well creativity is an interesting topic to be understood by each and everyone!
The moment the word creativity is uttered, many would wonder , am i really creative?
Well, am not a creative person but I know it's not a difficult task of being creative.
I am more of 'logical' problem solver according to my profession , but i have received a numerous appreciations from colleagues and senior management that i have been solving issues very creatively. 
I got a person who claimed that i am "creatively logical". I was wondering how to react to his comments, i just took it as compliment. I knew that , creativity is a phenomenon of Right brain activity and being logical is the gift of Left brain. 



I was technically confused with both. I was solving the problems in a logical way, but i was using different types of logics to solve the same problem. Maybe that's why he said me so !
I was excited to know that we would be introduced to 3 tools of creativity but it was only 2 which came the way actually. Those two things are really refreshing. Once the mind map and 6 thinking hats are introduced to me, i got a better understanding of my earlier learnings. 
I still remember, in 2004 when i was formally introduced to "mind mapping" apart from my own style of learning by connecting the things. We were taught organic chemistry in the form of 'mind map' in a short 2 day special session conducted by professionals who came to our school. 
I was amazed and amused by the formal tool. Since then, i was using the similar concept whenever i want to remember things. As the years pass by, i tend to forget to draw mind map on paper but just remember things through the interlinking. 

Last week, at my work, i was invited to give small talk in the name of 'Knowledge sharing' for the team. I had the freedom to choose any topic of my interest.

I wanted to use this chance to experiment and explore my creativity than choosing the logic as a topic. So far, in my life, whenever i tried to present a seminar , i used to be very formal, structured , technical topic discussion and limited interaction with the audience even though I engage them through hands on training. It would more of one-way teaching rather than two-way interactive session. So, this time, i tried to be very interactive, create suspense to the audience with role play and presenting totally a different way apart from my very own standard way. I did a lot meticulous preparation and inorder to remember the things I created a mind map on the topics to be discussed. I created a presentation with minimal words and more of pictures and a unique color background theme. 
I used the story telling way of presenting adding the topics to be discussed on to it. 

On the day of presenting, i was performing the best and finally entire audience just loves my way of presenting and left the hall with smiling faces and remembering the learnings. They all acknowledged that the talk was very helpful and they can't forget this topic ever just because the way I handled and they wished me to take more seminars often ! There was a big shout of 
"ONCE MORE" !!!!! This evidently marked the success of creativity to me and trying a new path :)  
I sensed that i was in a 'FLOW' completely without any restrictions... immediately I understood the meaning of matrix, you can be in a flow only when you have high opportunity and high skill.

  1. Hi Pranavii. Think Pranavii: Think Creative! As I said before, I loved the number concept - very original. So do you think you can use MBTI in your organization? This statement made a lot of sense "The day we understand what is the real reason for our angriness , we can conquer the world of fear ". Since you are a natural with regard to Right brain, how do you actually unlearn? It was good having you in class - the points you made were in sync with what I had to say.All the very best !
