[Assam] Creativity 101

[Chan Mahanta]

Ki muskil!


Ei Ingrezi bhasha ta na  puro 'bogus' . Ki bolse wra bujhai jai-na. 
That is why I keep saying 'it is that damned English language'. For 
if it were not, one would come out smelling like you-know-what?

Why?

For a very simple reason:

A creative person  is OPTIMISTIC for finding BETTER SOLUTIONS!

NOT towards expecting results out of NOTHING, as in REFORMING what is 
dysfunctional about India.
If there were moves towards reforms--but a person shows disdain for 
it--that would be different.

On the other hand, if a person would rather remain blind and deaf to 
what obviously are dysfunctional,
he is the one who lacks IMAGINATION and is creatively challenged.

Bujhle' ekhon?
