</tbody></table>
Dear Parents, Teachers and Relatives,<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
How would you define Creativity? I know that every one of you hate this word. For me, <b>Creativity is nothing but the act of turning new and imaginative ideas into reality</b>. Well, as the cartoon depicts the current education system is not at all bothered about the transformation of innovative ideas into reality. You are squandering the little brains of children ruthlessly knowingly or unknowingly. The ultimate thing that matters nowadays is,<b> Every student must perform unusually great at academic subjects</b>. You are narrowing down the path. The path to inventions, The path to new experiences, The path to taste the victories and failures alike. You must note the "Failure" part more carefully. Let me enlighten you for a moment.<b> The suicide among students has increased 170 percent in the last two decades up to 2005</b>. Coming back to the "failure" part, the truth is <b>"We are not at all prepared for failures"</b>. No big deal right? Can you relate it with the student suicide rates? If not, you are still acting ignorant. Just think about all the greatest inventions in history. The telephone, light bulb, penicillin and much more. Each one of those inventions will have a story to tell. I'm not saying about the "success" part. Yes, am still with the "failure" part. Behind all of these successful inventions that changed the world, there is a huge amount of failure rate associated with it. Every educational institution's are forgetting this basic thing. Without making mistakes, nobody will shine at something. The mindset of each of these institutions is, <b>"it's a sin to commit a mistake"</b>. I would like to collaborate this part with a strong quote by Napolean Hill, <b>"Most great people have attained their greatest success just one step beyond their failure"</b>. Stick this into you brain, please. Failure is not the end of everything. It's the progression of "Success".</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Almost every educational institution's running globally has to advertise the same motto, <b>"Let's make 1000 more robots every year who is perfect in everything except thinking"</b>. You have created a trend called, "Careerism". Yes, we need doctors and engineers. But hey we need writers, thinkers, farmers and artists alike. Where is the balance in it? The problem with "Careerism" is that a student will have only limited options. If he or she is technically gifted in painting, music or dancing why in the world, you are pushing them to the path of mathematics, mechanics and science? Let me remind you one thing, If you have ever done this to your children, student or cousin then you have no right to blame them for not performing well in the academics. As an engineering student, I know the hardships of dealing with a bunch of subjects at one go. I'm dealing with more than 50 papers in the four year's time period. The ultimate aim of doing this course is to get placed in a reputed firm or company. And what the company expects from you? A deep level knowledge in programming and the aptitude to run their company smoothly. Let me describe this more in detail. Are you going to say that a person would be able to master in programming by reading textbooks alone? The only way to master in some particular task is by practice. It's human nature, when you practice more you'll attain a certain level of skill unknowingly. I'm asking where is my time to practice something which I love to do? I spend nearly 10 hours a day at college( Including travelling to and fro). Studies says you must sleep 6-8 hours a day to keep you healthy. That gives me nearly 3 hours to spend something of my own. I'm perfectly alright with it. But hey wait. The lion shares of these three hours would be robbed by assignments, home works and records. Now I'm someone who is incapable of improving my skills at something. If there is one reason companies are reluctant to take even proven academic graduate to their firm is, <b>"our incapability in perfecting something"</b>. We are a bunch of machines which memorises something and vomits the same into an answer sheet. The fun of learning something new is missing, the fascination of experiencing something new is missing, The satisfaction of learning some new skill is missing. If any corporate heads are reading this blog, this is what happening around educational institutes across the globe. If you want employees with thinking capabilities you are most welcomed to intervene. I'm pretty sure the situation will get only worse even after ten years. But still I have a glimmer of hope that at least some of you reading this might rethink about your deeds. It's high time, else we would be all dealing with Zombie apocalypse soon. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thank you.</div>

<br />
This is my gift to you. I'm pretty sure most of you are unaware of these web sites am gonna present to you. Yeah, Thank me later. One thing I could guarantee you,<b style="color: #990000;"> These are the most useful as well as Coolest of all the websites on the Internet today. </b>But you know, they are less popular. So I am digging out these gems of websites for you. Fun Reading.<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">1. <a href="https://coffitivity.com/#premium">Coffitivity</a></span></h3>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 18.72px;">Are you a workaholic? A programmer or a web designer? Or at least someone who love's to create new things while spending your time on your laptop and Internet? Well, then you sure must love the ambiance of a coffee shop right? Yeah, we all LOVE the vibe of the Coffee shop. People chattering, coffee glasses muttering, undertones. Yeah, Everything about a Coffee shop is super fantastic. This is a website dedicated entirely to the "murmur" sounds. It's so much fun doing some work tuning to the Coffee shop ambiance. Also, they are providing premium tools like audio tracks from other Environments. </span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 18.72px;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">2.<a href="https://www.duolingo.com/"> Duolingo</a></span></span></h3>

<div>
<span style="font-size: 18.72px;">Think about all the Languages you are good at? For me, it would be English and my mother tongue "Malayalam". What about all those other popular languages? Imagine, you are going to Spain for some reason and what if you end up in a place where people could understand only Spanish. Yeah, you are screwed up high time right? Not anymore. I found this website called "Duolingo" where they teach you all the Popular languages including French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Irish, Swedish, Danish and many more. One thing I noticed, this is not a "sake of it" website. They really want you to learn new languages, the website itself is attractive. I've started learning Spanish, "Yo soy un humbre".</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 18.72px;">If there is any supernatural out there please bless the guy who made this one. This one is a real time saver, real decision maker, real "I'll manage it" thing. This is actually a software which help you to decide which programs you should purge in order to give your PC a little bit breathing space. It'll only cost you 2 MB or something, but pretty powerful and useful as they advertise it is. Yeah, my laptop is super powerful again. Thank you whoever made this software again.

<span style="font-size: 18.72px;">Ever took a printout of a web page? Then you surely must know the hardships of it right? It will download as a bunch of files and If you accidentally delete one of those files, then it's all a big mess. And even if you carefully printed it out, still you will get the crappy things like unwanted links, ads and other pieces of stuff. By using this amazing Printfriendly website, they offer you to take out a perfect printout of a web page excluding the unwanted images and advertisements. Another must have a thing.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 18.72px;">This is the exact replica of MS paint. You might ask why I should use this one since I have MS paint on my PC. Well, you don't have to particularly use this if you are a Windows user. It comes handy when you try out the Linux version of OS's. You need a certain expertise in order to work on GIMP. sumo paint is a beautiful and helpful paint' tool which you can utilize. </span></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 18.72px;"> Life saver, Job saver and Grade saver. That's the simplest description for this website. Every student and employee have a thing in common. They gotta submit documents and other paper works on time, most of the time we send the paper works to our teacher or boss through the internet. What if you can't complete that report on time? Use this tool and they'll corrupt the file which you send to them. Mail it your boss or teacher, when they open it the file will be corrupted and they can't blame you at all. Instead, you should blame their virus-driven PC's. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: 18.72px;">I suggest this to only hardcore movie buffs. If you are not a serious movie buff then skip it. They have an amazing library of documentaries worldwide. Some of it not available on youtube either. They update this site regularly, so there is a huge content of documentaries available here. Again, you will love it if you are a passionate movie guy. </span></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 18.72px;">Quick, quick and quick is the motto behind Pastebin.com. I often use this one when I find errors in my programs. You can quickly paste your whole code, text or anything here and you will get a corresponding URL for it. What more? send this URL to many people and ask them to help to get rid off the errors. No need to mail, facebook or tweet or anything. </span></div>

<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Ambiverts exhibits good qualities of both Introversion and Extroversion. They are more balanced, consistent and rational. </span></span></h3>
Are you an Ambivert? Well, if not you must fall into the other two categories, Introverts or Extroverts. If you still don't know which category you are supposed to be in, I guess this post will help you to know more about Ambiverts, Introverts, and Extroverts. Everyone know what must be the salient features of Introverts and Extroverts. An Introvert is someone who is real quiet, not-so-party minded but still enjoy the life in his/her way. Whereas an Extrovert is someone who appreciates more attention, much bigger friends circle, they express their emotions wildly and they are high-spirited people. Well, Introverts and Extroverts have good qualities. But like everything else in this world they have bad traits too. But what if you fall in that middle category? The "Ambiverts". Ambiverts exhibits good qualities of both Introversion and Extroversion. They are more balanced, consistent and rational. Here, I will try to point out the good attributes of Ambiverts and will give you all a little questionnaire to check whether you are an Ambivert, Introvert or an Extrovert.<br />

It's a common misconception that being alone or enjoying solitude is somewhat wicked. That theory is plain wrong. You might have heard the famous quote, <b>"The quieter you become, the more you can hear". </b>When you are in solitude there is a great chance that creativity and thinking capacity will double, you will think once again when you make a decision, you can talk with yourself as you talk with your best friend or buddy. They are more tend to become poets, writers, and thinkers. Sometimes you will need extreme solitude to concentrate in a serious work. So, Happy Solitude everyone. </div>

Well, since you are an Ambivert or at least want to know the traits of a good ambivert, as I said earlier they are well balanced. If they spend some time in solitude they will surely come back and enjoy Companionship too. Look how well they played it out right? They took the creativity, thinking capacity and all other good aspects of Solitude. Now they are craving towards to steal the finest features of Companionship. They enjoy engaging in relationships and having fun with one another and recent studies show that companionship is good for your health too. Ambiverts everyone, Ambiverts!!! </div>

The comic above says it all right? We are always in the middle of Anxiety and depression. We can't just 'snap out of it'. An Introvert falls into depression because of too much loneliness whereas an Extrovert falls into it because they get easily bored of their surroundings and people around them. I'm not saying Ambiverts are impregnable to these basic human emotions, just that the probability of them ending up in depression and anxiety disorders are far less when comparing with the other two. </div>

The word <b>"respond"</b> is much more proper than <b>"react"</b>. In our reactions, emotions will take a central place. We lose control. It's more spontaneous and sporadic. It'll eventually end up in spoiling our mood and other's too. Introverts and Extroverts tend to <b>"react"</b> more rather than <b>"respond"</b>. Since Ambiverts give first place for thoughtfulness they'll <b>"respond"</b> only and act wisely according to the mood and situations. They are guided by less emotional drama and more logic. They'll give space for reasoning. </div>

Nick Vujicic born with no arms and no legs. He had only two options left, Either get depressed or overcome his difficulties by breaking <b>"the walls"</b>. It's not at all an easy journey for him. People bullied him, teased him, discouraged him from achieving heights. But one thing he maintained in his life was, He never ever blamed his circumstances. Because more than anybody else he knew that no miracle would bring back him his lost limbs. He concentrated more on his <b>"Abilities"</b> than his <b>"Disabilities"</b>.<br />

This picture speaks a thousand words. At age ten, Nick attempted suicide by drowning himself in a bathtub. Because he couldn't see a bright future ahead and became depressed. He then realized that he need to be more thankful for his "Abilities" and less focused on his "Disabilities". He says that when hugs and words aren't enough, that's where "Faith" kicks in. When you have faith in yourself you don't need others to believe in you.<br />

It's an old Indian taboo that women are meant to do all the house chores even if she has got an earning job. This tradition was part of Indian advertisements too. If it's a woman-centered advertisement it's usually of them doing washing, floor cleaning, ironing, cooking and all these time men pictured as blaming her for not doing it properly. Not much caring about what "her" choices right? Now, it's time to declare "Her choices", not her detergent desires. The recent ads about Indian women showing the changing mind of society towards women. Not just about the fairness creams and powders, these ads establish themselves as the new fearless face of the Indian women.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
This ad series of <b>"Myntra" </b>is probably the best of this list. The ad shows two women madly in love with dressing and each other. Obviously the ad triggered controversy but more than that, the positive response this ad gathered from young netizens is a clear sign that India is ready to accept <b>"Bisexuality". </b>It made the rounds in many discussion forums and social medias. This ad gave the courage to many of the women(also men) to reveal to their family and friends that they are Bisexual and there is nothing abnormal about it. The ad beautifully portrays that <b>"Love is Love"</b> and <b>"Gender"</b> doesn't matter. Kudos to the makers, yes we are on the path of progress.</blockquote>

<span style="color: #3d85c6;">ARIEL - #IsLaundryOnlyAWomansJob?</span></h2>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="color: black;">In this ad an elderly lady comments and shares, her thought to her friend about how far working women have come and say with great pride that her daughter in law earns more than her son. Not the typical and cliched Mother in Law vs Daughter in Law ego clash right? The ad made the impact by <b>breaking the stereotypes of Indian brands</b>. But wait it's not over. Just as we thought its the end, we witness an interaction between the busy daughter in law and her husband who is only wearing a banian. <b>"Why didn't you washed my green shirt yesterday, yaar?" </b>asks the husband. Three women turn very slowly to look at the guy, asking in silence the ultimate million dollar question: why is laundry only a women's job? Done and dusted. That's Ariels new ad that even bagged an award for fighting for gender bias!!! Next time when you login into that matrimonial website expect the question "Are you ready to share the laundry?" <b>#SharetheLoad </b></span></span>

<div style="text-align: left;">
When you talk about innovative advertisement you just can't ignore them. The word creativity and logic gels with them so much. Getting back to the topic, their new set of ads named <b>"Respect the women"</b> is nothing but dashing and thought provoking. A girl-seeing-ceremony, Mother boasting about her son's foreign life and how hard it's for him to get even a cup of coffee. Yes, you know what she meant by it. He needs a <b>"kitchen appliance" </b>and<b> </b>not a wife. The bold girl steps up and firmly places her coffee maker before the boy, saying take this one and settle down, no visa problem, nothing. Everyone, meet Havells the best in the making of amazing advertisements.<br />

Film features Katrina kaif as a bride. The ad highlights the issue that Indian women are pressured to get married for all the wrong reasons. The protagonist tells all the women to don't get married because your friends are married, don't get married due to the pressure of families or because they are being lonely on valentines day and certainly don't because your ex-boy friend is getting married. Finally, she concludes that you should get married when you find someone who<b> "Deserve's your time". </b><br />

The father-daughter relation is what the essence of this ad, how her father backs her in every small thing that she does.

<div style="text-align: left;">
Perhaps this is one of the most fitting and suitable quotes which I can relate to Christopher McCandless' life. Popularly known as Alexander Super tramp among his admirers. Some of you might be thinking why this nomadic, unshaven, homeless looking guy known as an inspiration to thousands of like-minded people around the world right. The word inspiration has many explanations, but the way Chris has defined inspiration is quite different. He is not a billionaire, not a Nobel laureate, not a movie star, not a war hero. The legacy of Christopher McCandless lies was he simply followed his burning desire to <b>live life to the fullest</b>. Many of us are at the grip of angst that what happens if we follow the true desire of our heart and mind. The truth is most of us are not capable of accepting the aftermath and consequence of such an action. Chris followed his true grit and never wanted to keep his dreams and zeal to the fake guidelines of society. It's a moving story of a young man chasing his dreams to an ultimate Alaskan adventure. Unfortunately, Chris never came back.He was found perished on an abandoned Fairbanks city bus("Magic bus") on the stampede trail in Alaska. His name became popular after Jon Krakauer the famous award-winning writer wrote a book about him of the name "Into the wild".And later Sean Penn made a movie based on the novel of the same name.<br />
Yes, there is a lot of controversy regarding the death and the way Chris went to the Alaskan journey without having any essential gears to stay alive in the wilderness of Alaska. Let's all obliterate the pessimistic part of his story and unearth the inspirational fragments of his life.<br />

The translation of success sense to me as <b>"Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition". </b>Everything else is secondary. The happiness and euphoria of doing what you designed to do are something you can't convey in words. Chris had the courage to take off alone into the wilderness. He experienced the bliss as well as the misery of living alone in the most primitive plight. We have to go beyond our comfort zone, we must strive to have the same courage. Imagine, how hard it will be when we look back on our life thirty years from now and realizes that <b>"I let my dreams pass by me". </b></div>

Nature can wash your spirit clean. Climbing a mountain, spending a week in the woods, Going for a crazy boat ride. The materialistic thing we care so much about today is nothing compared to this magnificent warmth of nature. His life taught me that we must have the curiosity to explore nature more. Chris's quoted in his diary that,<b> "The sea's only gifts are harsh blows and occasionally the chance to feel strong. Now I don't know much about the sea, but I do know that's the way it's here. And I also know how important it's in life not necessarily to be strong, but to feel strong, to measure yourselves at least once, to find yourself in at least once in the most ancient of human conditions, facing the blind deaf stones alone with nothing to help you but your hands and your own head." </b>Being in nature will help us to evaluate our true grit, what we want in life, what we want to become. Appreciate the beauty around us. The true magic around us. I am a pluviophile, it's nothing but someone who finds joy and peace during rainy days. You can be a selenophile, a person who loves the moon or a ceraunophile, a person who loves lightning and thunder or a thalassophile , a person who loves seas, oceans.<br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;">We live in a materialistic world. Materialism as we call it. It's a tendency to think material objects are more important than people; desire for money over ethics. The whole life or at least the whole north American journey of Chris was to shrug off the illusion of these materialistic things. He believed that money makes people cautious. Eventually, we will fall into that illusion and will become blind. It's such a great insight. It's to be noted that when Chris lived the popularity of mobile and internet was merely less. But today everybody is so busy checking their notifications, messages, taking selfies and are totally blind of the "reality". At some point Chris was seen burning all of his money, he didn't want money to control his life like some people, he want to be free from society and civilization. The "ultimate freedom" he called it. We have to realize that materialism is an 'identity crisis' and we should overcome it. </span><br />

Christopher McCandless was a devoted reader. One can't complete his biography without mentioning his love for reading. Chris always found the company in the characters of the books he read. He believed that what the mind can conceive, it can achieve. He saw the great messages and potentials that classic literature's can offer. Yes, stick it in your head <b>"Classic literature". </b>Some wonderful books of this category are( These books were the favorites of Chris), Crime and punishment( Fyodor Dostoyevsky), Death of Ivan Ilych( Leo Tolstoy), Call of the wild( Jack London), White fang( Jack London), Moon face( Jack London), Brown Wolf( Jack London), To build a Fire( Jack London), Doctor Zhivago( Boris Pasternak), Terminal man( Micheal Crichton), War and peace( Leo Tolstoy), Walden( Henry David Thoreau). I would say Jack London's <b>"Call of the wild"</b> and Dostoyevsky's <b>"Crime and punishment"</b> are the best of this lot.<br />

I don't know how to thank Sean Penn for this amazing creation. It has to be noted that most of the book turned movies failed to do justice to the original script. But this one is an exception. I would say this one is a "Classic" in its genre. Explore the internet if you want to, you will not find something epic as this one. Brilliant casting, Intense screenplay, awestruck frames, astonishing and moving music. Emile Hirsch was living on the screen. I think no one could do it better than him. Whenever we mention the name Christopher mccandles we can't ignore this tribute movie "Into the wild". The music by Eddie vedder is so touching and poignant. My favorites are "Hard sun" and "Society".</div>

<span style="font-weight: normal;">The Love for Christopher mccandles never ends. He has been an inspiration for me to try doing new things. For me it's writing, meeting new people, going places. I hope this blog might help you to get the Courage to do new things you are afraid to do. I would be happier if you share this among your friends and spread the name Christopher McCandless to more young people. </span></div>

<b>“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”</b>(Dr.Seuss, I can read with my eyes shut!).Stick this quote in your mind, Yes reading is a process and you will learn things that no Wikipedia could contribute.<br />

Do you really think it’s possible to time travel ever in your lifetime? Yes, Albert Einstein was widely interested in this field and he has detailed about this in the<b> ‘</b>Theory of relativity<b>’</b> of his. The concept of time travel is nothing but you can move between one point to another in space using a machine called ‘Time machine’. But we know it still remains as one hottest invention yet to be invented. So the probability of you time travelling will remain as a dream at least in this life( Shhhh there is only one life).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A “Book” is your only shot to time travel. Yes, nothing else. You will be travelling forward to witness aliens and extraterrestrials. You will be travelling backwards to watch the origin of the universe. And all at the cost of a book. No complex relativity theory, need not be worried about a time machine, you’ll be travelling faster than the light. Yes, you have invented the hottest invention of all.(If you are really into time travelling literally then the one book comes to my mind is,<b> </b>‘The time travelers wife’).</div>

<b>“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never read lives only one”</b>. You might be thinking like your feet are too small to fill in that big shoes I'm talking about. It’s not the shoes we are going to fill( just a metaphor I tried), it's the wisdom and soul of all those wonderful characters we are going to seize. You will be part of the spirit of David Copperfield (David Copperfield 1850, Charles Dickens) from his childhood to his mature manhood, You will encounter fantasy creatures and do magic as Harry Potter, You will act as a member of the outer party and do spine chilling activities as Winston smith of 1984, You will do revenge at the best as Monte Cristo ( The count of Monte Cristo 1844, Alexander Dumas) and many many more. Your best character is waiting for you go for it(I am David Copperfield though).<br />

Reading a book will take you to places, places I last visited was Naples( Italy), Geneva( Switzerland), Ingolstadt( Germany). People were wearing elaborate wigs, rich embroidery and full skirt and remarkable wide gowns. I met mathematicians and mechanics freaks that would influence the current workings of the universe. I have witnessed the industrial revolution, the discoveries of Micheal Faraday, the Great Exhibition in London, the Klondike gold rush and lot more. Reading a book will help you more to know more about the history, the way people lived at the time the book was written, to know there are many places in the world you are unheard of. Go for a book, meet new places, culture, people and environment.(I went back to the 19th century, remember the “time machine” right?)<br />

The 5th grand season of the famous TV show Game of thrones was just concluded this June. Although it's a tragic end to the season, it still boast of billions of fans following the series. Daenerys Targaryen, Jon Snow, Tyrion Lannister, Cersei Lannister, Arya Stark are all the beloved characters and fan favorites. But, all the above stands George R.R Martin. Yes, he is the undisputed king of this Famous blood chilling TV Show. Most of you might have heard about him if you ever watched or at least heard about the masterpiece show. Each character, Each situation, Each spine chilling conversations and events was pre-planned and stored in his brain. If there were no George R.R Martin there would be no GOT( Game of thrones). Other popular sequels of book turned movies are Harry potter, Lord of the rings, The hunger games, Insurgent.<br />

I have to tell you this, every time when you read a good book it's like having a good friend. When it happens it's just enchanting. A book becomes your friend when it shares the same concerns, craziness, emotions, passion and tenderness. As soon as I started reading “David Copperfield” I knew I was about to make a good friend. I felt genuine love and care for the character, an instant affection, a deep fondness for that we shared the same experiences, a moment of laughter and pain, it's the same that you have towards a real friend of flesh and blood. When David Copperfield went back to the book shelf I thought how it touched my soul and influenced my life. Yes, a good book is a good friend. Now it’s your chance to explore the world of books and find your best friend.</div>
