Why ideas don't strike all the time?

Why ideas don't strike all the time?
Well, this seems to be a very frequent yet witty question that why ideas don't strike all the time. Our brain is a fragile organ. It has the memory that is mostly temporary. And idea is something which arrives in two forms - one is when you think about something rapidly and creatively, second is it arises instantly out of nowhere. Thus, human minds are not really engaged in thinking something rapidly and creatively all the time as a result of which, ideas don't strike always. And instant ideas strike very less when your brain is really active and highly interested towards something. When your mind is attracted towards something, it tries to gather more possibilities and chances to do those things which it wants to. For example, if a man is interested in writing, then he gathers plots for his stories from anything and anywhere. That may be from some animated movie or a song or may be a newspaper article. This happens because his mind is attracted towards writing and he takes the subject more interestingly than other works. Hence, ideas can't strike all the time. Like any other thing, they also need space and time. And if ideas would arrive all the time to the people then probably the process of "thinking deep" would have been expired!

Celebrate lights, not sound!

Celebrate Lights, not Sound! Despite being writing and terming Diwali as the festival of lights, we are deeply engaged in turning the festival into a festival of sound. The festival's origin according to the Hindu mythology is the sheer joy and happiness that was expressed by the people of that time on the return of Lord Rama along with his wife, Sita after the victory over the demon - Ravana. Apart from the traditional belief, some modern communities take it just as a festival of lights that mark the victory of brightness (Positivity) over darkness (Negativity). Be that as it may, focusing on the title and yes, keeping the 'Pollution' thing aside, I'd like to put a very relevant question here.  "Are we really celebrating Diwali as a festival of lights?" Now, I am not doubtful of your answers. Because, clearly we see how we really are celebrating the festival. It is a clear concept that along with development, comes the negative side of the s

HARD WORK OR SMART WORK?

Work is worship. It is an important part of life that everyone does in order to succeed and gain stability in life. However, everyone's mode and process of working are different. Be it a child trying to fix his toys, a student trying to make an impression, or a person trying to outgrow in his workplace - everyone has to choose his/her own methods of working and dealing with the workload. These methods are broadly divided into 2 types - Hardwork and Smartwork. While hard work has been the core value of ancient Indian society that somehow holds its significance till today; smart work is a concept originating in the modern era with the development of science, technology, and many such instruments that have made human lives and their work easier. We have seen our grandmothers crushing the spices, kneading doughs, cooking with coal, etc. But now all this hard work is no more seen.  We have got grinders, ovens, grills, juicers, and every kind of ready-to-use spices to save time and hard
