If you term me as creative, then I understand, I am
definitely stamped as Crazy! Creativity is a wild - wilder form of craziness
which when practised with lots of dedication, takes you to fly up in the sky!
But, almost - not all creators are famous - almost not all famous ones are
creators, as well!
I never had a dream of writing! Yep, you read it
perfectly right! I never thought of writing so much! Forget about the ‘professional’
touches, if at all they were there, I never imagined myself to have articulated
things better! Never, never ever, I swear! But, now, this writing has become a
passion to me! I jolly well spend time happily in writing things that happen in
my imaginary world, in writing things that I wish had happened to me in
reality! Some other times, I capture the pulse of any incidents that occur
around me, to quote the importance or whatever you say!
I am kind of a practical person, in reality, focusing
more on the nuts and bolts but I could never stop myself imagining or to put it
right, creating a world where it is only me and MY fictitious characters
live in.
Well, of recent, I happen to hear of questions from my
'Friends'' circle, "Gaanz, how famous are you in
your passionate field? How famous are you in your professional
field?" (For those who do not know, I just love myself for being a
biotechnologist.) In both the arenas, I create! I try creating solutions for existing
problems or create a world that can cajole me up, without harming me,
nonetheless! At my professional front, I sit and meddle with the genes,
genomes, cells and tissues and bring out something 'deducible' or
'understandable' At times, cranky too! At my passion front, I am THE queen! I
am the subject! I am the mother of MY people whom I create, virtually! I
am the kid of those too, at times! A crazy imaginations as well!
To me, writing, is like building a palace; which has
soulful concern in placing each and every brick of it! Writing brings a
possibility of penning down what your mind feels! Writing brings alive, an
arena of probability – the probability of creating people / incident and making
others witness YOUR CREATION! You can feel your dopamines highly active in
bringing the pituitary to the vitreous humor through the paper! That divinity,
that high degree of extraversion, even higher levers of energy to have openness
to explore and experience, shall never be a know – how, if I had focused on ‘fame’!
As JK says, "We want to be famous as a writer, as
a poet, as a painter, as a politician, as a singer, or what you will. Why because
we really don’t love what we are doing. If you loved to sing, or to paint, or
to write poems — if you really loved it — you would not be concerned with
whether you are famous or not…"
Yes, when you do what
you love to, you would never want to be famous in it! If you want to be famous,
then you do not love what you do! Simple, blunt and straight forward! Admiring
what you do, falling hard for what you do, is simply the best attribute – the best
attitude that one can have! Just practice being visceral in doing your work, that’s
just the source of bliss. Learn to be driven by the curiosity, enamoured of the
jouissance ! Forget about the pride that you have, never mind, u need not face
lime light at the same time, if you really love what you do, you will never be
incognito!
Going incognito . . .
