The To-do list

2013-06-10T04:57:00.003-07:00

Every morning in the office scribbling pad, I note down a long list of things to-do. And as the day proceeds, the list gets checked for the finished tasks. With every tick mark, there is a sense of achievement that gives tremendous amount of satisfaction.

Similarly, I wish to pen down the things-to-do in life and the list is truly going to be a long one!

Sometimes the inspiration that I draw from my mentors and some of the influential personalities, I get to know, makes me all set and focused. I make several plans but at the end of it not many of these meet its end. And that is disappointing. But, I will never give up. If not today, maybe some other day. I will definitely have my list of things-to-do in life checked completely and that is going to bring a greater sense of achievement.

There's lots to do and lots to achieve but the question is where to start and how to begin? I guess, I better start now rather than waiting for the right time to come. It's always the first step that you need to take towards your goal and the rest of the path would appear on its own. So here I present to myself the Things-to-do list.

Things-to-do

Strike a perfect balance between family and work
Always Prioritize family
Stay updated constantly in the areas of interests
Experience the technical nuances and record the same while undertaking challenging projects
Share these experiences with others
Work with some of the established Brands in the field
Work with some of the start-ups.
Become a Brand in the field of graphic designing
Devise new concepts in graphic designing
Make a difference to the Society
to be the change I want to see
Contribute towards environmental awareness issues
Take strong initiatives instead of waiting for someone else to start. (in the areas where I wish to bring about changes)

Well, I am already feeling better to have made a start. And believe me it feels awesome to begin!

Not gonna wait for christmas :D

creativity pays off!

Sitting in front of my Computer I used to wonder as to how would I create one of those cool things that would fetch me appreciation and content? and how useful it would be to me or others?

I often created illustrations using some of the designing software that had got decent reviews from my peers. I created some animation clips that looks quiet amusing. I did some Audio-Visual work using video editing software. But I was in search of a something that Pays Off!

A few months back I got employed in one of the prestigious educational institutes in India, as a Design technology instructor. My Job profile included introducing the new design technologies and software to the students and training them to work on creatives using the same. I believed this to be my path to attain the Creative fulfillment which I was looking for. I thought I would work with tools and software that I was so familiar with. I would work on what I am best at. I started believing that 'this is it!'.

But somewhere I had this feeling of not being able to do what I was willing to do. There was something that was not fine. And that I suppose was my 'not experienced / fresher' tag. I did not have prior industrial or academic experience and my creative skills. However, this was not a big issue. The thing was I was not working on everything else but creatives!This developed a negative attitude towards the environment I was working in which stopped me from being myself.

Finally, I decided to change my attitude that could bring some positive changes. I started out again. I planned out my schedule in a way which accommodated both my Non-creative work stuff as well as my own creative work. And this time it was amazing how things turned out to be !

Due to the positive energy, my creative spirits were in full form and I made full use of it. I started pushing my limits and worked hard in creating illustrations which were meaningful. The outcome was my Social message banner! A banner that was designed to show the Importance of Education to the society.

This Social Message Banner was a meaningful creation which could be of some utility to the Society in general. And the contentment I experienced, when I saw my work, was worth all the hard work and efforts I put on it.

As far as the institution was concerned they liked my efforts and now I believe they will be able to treat me not just a 'Fresher' but as a thorough professional too.

Now, I am trying to participate in an online contest with the same banner that I had created. I am not too sure whether it ends being the winning illustration but I have confidence that it would reach to few more People out there on the net!

My level of confidence in my creative ability has risen much above than what it used to be before. Creativity definitely Pays off, provided you believe in yourself!

Thus, I say - Creativity Pays off!

The nation has been facing all that possible it could at its worst! This time around the nature is taking its toll by unprecedented amount of downpour in the states of Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
