Can Creativity Be Commissioned?

While you marinate your delicious chicken, adding in the right ingredients makes for a perfectly cooked delicacy. However, your tryst for creating a signature taste lies in your secret ingredient. And yes, there has to be a secret ingredient! It might get a little philosophical, but we have to understand that every human mind has its own way of perceiving things in and around it. A chiffon saree with sensuous embroidery work might just not appeal to me the way it appeals you. Why? The list of reasons may be either endless or too small. Feminine sensuality may have different connotations for all of us. It might just define a woman or just unleash an undiscovered feminine aspect. You see, most of you have actually started nodding your heads!

Commissioning creativity is never a welcoming thought for creative minds. Lending a space for creativity has always been an issue with human minds. Unleashing that latent creative heat needs a lot of work. However, some of us are blessed with it. Some of us do boast about this, while others believe in silently working upon their varied creative facets. While you choose a write-up to go through, it is always your taste which makes or breaks your curiosity. Some of us may succeed in engaging the eyes and the cerebral faculty for a longer time. But even if we fail to do so, we should not take it as a negation of our creative ability. Sometimes, our thoughts and ideas do not go parallel with rest of the mortal minds!

That you need to channelize your thought for a certain purpose is not really an inspiring thought at all. I won’t deny that I am empathising with those who actually harbour an inimitable creative hub in their psychology. However, I won’t step back in stating this - unique minds have unique rejections! Moulding your creative treasure according to the market trends may bring you money, but it will never make you happy. It is just because you are not allowed to be ‘you’. Yes, we are adaptable to all kinds of change, but we are not so welcoming when it comes to compromise our inner voice. You might smell a rebellious thought here, but that’s how creative minds churn out their pain. No one’s stopping you in bombarding your critical comments, but remember – unique ideas needs to understood uniquely!
