CREATIVITY TEST


This afternoon I got a call from a company in Hyderabad. They wanted a Content Writer. The company representative told me by 12:20 PM IST to be in their office before 1:30 PM IST. They sent me their office address through SMS to my phone. Then I was on cot like a lazy fellow resting on a workless day. Dressed up myself fast and rushed there by an auto rickshaw. I was there in their office by 1:00 PM IST itself. They gave me three websites they developed and asked me to edit the content posted on them. I did it in about one hour's time. By 2:00 PM IST the undeclared power cut landed in. She gave me two topics and asked me to write something on them and email it to them by 5:00 PM IST today. I did it by 4:38 PM IST itself. I did not have interest to research much online because it was a test of creativity for them and me also. I wanted to write something on two given topics. I posted those two write-ups below for your consideration and evaluation.

Psychic Reading

It is believed that human brain is a more powerful machine than a super computer invented by man. God installed a huge amount of data storage, analysis and reuse capacities in our brain that often we question the very existence of God and His abilities to configure human brain and its extraordinary powers. If there are about six billion people in this world, it must be believed that there are trillions of thoughts, feelings, notions, emotions, passions, depressions, visions, pains, joys and such other psychic happenings in the brains of all these different kinds of people in various regions of the world being affected by a number of influencing factors in different seasons of a year. Every man wants to live in the present happily recollecting his past and planning adequately for his immediate and distant future. Man’s wants are infinite but the available resources around him to satisfy them are always limited and quite often unaffordable or inaccessible. This is where human struggle starts to reach the farthest and achieve the most difficult. It is more in people that desire to live uniquely. Making a difference is their choice. Thinking and doing things differently is their approach in their personal or professional lives. In this context, many wish to know how their future unfolds and how they are supposed to be prepared to face it effectively. Reading one’s brain is not that easy but many attempt it and counsel the aspirants based on their needs and urgencies time to time. Tarot reading, numerology, astrology, palmistry are some human efforts to decode the fates of the aspirants and guide them im/properly.

Psychic reading is beyond scientific calculations and explanations in some cases because most of the happenings in one’s life do not happen in a scheduled or logical manner but just like that and often very mysteriously and surprisingly. Chance is the most influencing factor in one’s life and it means anything can happen to anybody at any time. Love, friendship, business, education, religion, family, society, entertainment, employment, enjoyment, admiration, hatred and many such other relationships and entities influence the thoughts, evolutionary process and behavioral tendencies of a given or unknown human being from his/her birth to death. Predicting the unknown following an established process or science and thus trying to face future readily is an ongoing phenomenon in the human world in every age. Man loves to shape his future.

We can’t imagine human life without questions and anxiety to know about future. Professionals of psychic reading help us reduce the pain of our inner self analyzing our life and its course of journey applying a given base of traditional or modern knowledge. Astrologers believe that stars in the sky affect our lives. Numerologists profess that numbers impact our lives. Palmists say that we can read the course of our life observing the lines in our palms. In the modern days, where man is more disturbed about his future, psychic reading and the related professionals across the world occupied more powerful positions in interpreting human destiny and preparing their clients for the future. It is allowing others to read our destiny in their known ways and satisfy our desires or suggest remedies to face the impending dangers in our lives. Fear of the unknown and unexpected encourages many to consult psychic reading professionals. Some consider it cheating and misguiding others for monetary benefits. Whatever the arguments are, man deeply longs to be studied by others and advised on how to live to have a bright future. Psychic reading is a very powerful and pervasive phenomenon in the modern world because the modern man is more disturbed about his future than those in the past. Where there are human desires and suffering, there are remedies and professionals!

Signs Shop

Signs help us exhibit our feelings and desires to others using our eyes and hands or other human organs. It might be to express our love or hatred or comedy to others as the occasion or the situation demands. Traffic signals are also a kind of signs because they help us understand quickly and easily about how, when and where to drive a vehicle like a motor cycle, car or bus. Signs are for education, entertainment or advertising. How to use them depends on our needs and situations.

One can’t easily understand what signs mean. Are they human signs or mechanical signs generated by man-made tools and equipment for different purposes? Some questions and answers given below help one understand more about signs as they are generally understood and applied by ordinary men and women like me.

Why should man use signs when he can communicate properly using his relevant body parts? Perhaps to make others believe that he is different from others.

What is the need of signs in a modern traffic system? Because humans can’t advise and guide other humans while they are driving their vehicles in different kinds of roads in forests, cities, villages and such other highly congested public places, they chose to establish a system of universally understandable and practicable signaling system to avoid vehicle crashes and other dangers aiming at safe and secure driving in unfamiliar places also while traveling along unknown people also. So, signs on roads and railway tracks are to alert and guide the vehicle users in time to avoid accidents.

How can signs bridge gaps or create spaces among familiar or unfamiliar human beings? Generally humans use their eyes, hands, legs, mouth and tongue to express their innermost feelings to others in an endearing, insulting, infuriating or mysterious manner so as to reach their heart to others in a different mode of communication which may or may not be interpreted by others easily to arrive at a conclusive decision as to what one did applying one’s knowledge and skills of signage and one’s desired impact or result on/from the other one. Generally secret and sensitive lovers use sign language to reach their message to the recipient at the other end and it is more in conservative countries like India where parents and society impose and inflict more restrictions and punishments on their innocent children whenever they smell a rat in the character or behavior of their dear ones due to the inevitable impact of attraction between opposite genders in certain age. So, signs between humans can create space or bridge gaps based on what one desires to communicate to the other applying one’s skills of signs. Smiling, waving hand and proactive hugging are universally appreciable and applicable human signs meant to bridge gaps among familiar and unfamiliar humans. Generally many use their facial expressions and hand signs to communicate their sense of fun or anger to others in a private or public place. Madness or love has different shades no!

What is the scope of use of signs in the modern-day business and advertising fields and how can one master this branch of human interaction? Generally one is advised to refer an online encyclopedia like Wikipedia or famous search engine like Google to know more about anything about which one knows very little. It is difficult for a novice to write energetically and effectively on any given word or phrase without much familiarity with that branch of knowledge or information. As such, what is written above by me may look irrelevant at times to others if what they expected from me is quite or a little different from what I understood based on what they asked me to do for a purpose? To err is human!

If Sakshi were my school teacher, her reaction after reading these two arbitrary write-ups would be something as follows, "You are a spoilt boy, completely! You always write this or that about love or such sensitive but big human issue in any topic I assign you. Please consult a psychiatrist. Expressing and feeling love for everything may not be a good sign of a healthy human being at this age of yours. Kid, shall I join you some lunatic asylum? Bring your parents tomorrow!"
