‘To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong’ by Joseph Chilton Pearce. Yes, I agree with this statement. Imagine if right brother, have not taken ahead with their thoughts, we would not have the luxury of feeling of flying like birds. It is creativity which makes anyone to be outstanding. Every person is gifted by one or the other creativity. Many times I have questions in my mind how some are more creative and some are less? On which factors these creativities depends upon? Many scientists done research on brain and tried to find out about its functions. They came to know that it is right brain which is responsible for the enormous creativity of human beings.
Most of our schooling starts with creativity and unfortunately ends formally. Many times I used to think why in school we cannot make things more creative. After a long time I enjoyed a creative class by Mr. Badari. The whole session was to trigger our creativity. It included many activities like writing pictures, building stories and logical questioning session. Each activity was unknowingly made everybody to involve themselves 100%! Personally I felt very happy with the session and wish to have such sessions again and again. Defiantly the effect of class will reflect in my other activities.

First Aid
First aid is a primary care or treatment given by the layman during emergency to the victim. This treatment plays an important role , many a time life saving for the victim till attended by the doctor.Life is so uncertain, nobody can predict what can happen in the next moment.So first aid plays an important role in case like accidents,when the victim may surrounded by all together strangers or relatives who are shocked to do anything by the incidents. A simple knowledge can hold the breath of the victim and save their life till doctor comes or can save the further damage of the accidents.
This realization made me to study more about FIRST AID.I decided to give training on first aid to auto drivers in Hubli.Auto drivers are busy whole day and we can not ask then to come together to one place and have session on this. So I used the strategy of just standing and talking to them with a bunch of question which made them to tell what they know about such situations. This also made them to feel that they know many things.The whole session went like a quiz type , whenever anyone answered properly we offered them a taffy. the whole session was interesting , whenever they expressed the lack of knowledge or half answer I added to that.For this policemen support was taken which gave an added weight to the session.This type of session was conducted by us both in railway station and also in bus stand.
Let all of us learn about FIRST AID and save the precious life by just using our little knowledge and common sense.
