Introduction 1

I think imagination is a skill. This skill needs to be developed with practice. Not many

people are creative in their thinking. Nowadays, children are also losing their

imagination because they are too much dependent on google for gaining

knowledge. I had an interesting experience where I needed to use my imagination.

This happened around five years ago when I was in school. It happened in my school

campus during the fun fair.

The episode was funny and rewarding. I visited one stall in the fair and the name of

the stall was ‘guess your gift’. We had to pay 100 bucks (use appropriate currency

of your country here) to play the guessing game. All the gifts were packed strangely

in a newspaper and were kept in a box. We had to touch and feel the gifts and guess

what was inside. If we could make a right guess then the gift is ours. It was an

enjoyable time and I could guess and win three things.

I felt great and elated. Things that I won were what I really wanted. I won a

wallet/purse, a cap and a wrist watch. In between the game I thought that I had

some magic inside me that I was able to make all the right guesses and was winning.

However, the next three times I lost. So first it was easy and then it got difficult. If it

would be so easy then the stall owner would lose all his money.

It was a matter of luck. It is said that ‘no lunch is free’. I almost paid 600 bucks to

assume the content of the gift wrap. It was a good mind game and the great exercise

to the brain. Overall it was lots of fun. I realized that we hardly think and use our

imagination in our day to day life. Now sometimes I play brain games so that I use

my imagination in everyday situations and think out of the box. The skill of

imagination also helps me in problem solving and decision making.

Introduction 2

Well, it is very important to make use of our sense of imagination as it reflects our intelligence as well as creativity. I often make use of this power and now I would like to talk about a time. when I drew painting using imagination. Right from my school days, I have a deep interest towards art and I have taken part in many painting competition at school level.

When it was?
I vividly remember, when I was in 8th grade 410110 and I fall seriously sick.j61 was not attending school for a while and during this time my school organized a painting competition I was completely unawared about the date of this contest and I had no preparation:. at all. The day after recovering I went to school.

When you needed to use imagination?
I got to know that the painting competition is going to happen today. My all friends why were taking part in this competition were quite confident as they were prepared a they were saying that this time we are go to beat you because who are not prepared for this contest at all.

How difficult or easy it was?
Well, rather then getting nervous I decided that I will come up something in my mind and I will make a painting. So the completion started and all the painters had to come up with a painting in one hour time. Now this point, I decided I will make a painting of Golden Temple using my imagination.

Explain how you felt about it?
It’s a beautiful building and I had visited this place few number of times so, I was quite aware how it looks like. So, now I started painting as I was visualizing. For example, the sanctum sanctorum the holy pond and  two other things. At the Same time, I painted it with realistic colours. For example, I choose golden for the prime structure and blue to represent the water in the pond.

Conclusion:
In one hour, I completed and it was looking  stunning. My teachers really appreciated me not only the painting but, my sense of imagination that really helped me to draw this wonderful piece of art. Since, it was best among all. So, I was also honored by my teacher with a reward

It was during my 12th class.

Actually an art competition was held in our school and i took part in it .

Our teachers told us that we will have to draw on  whatever topic is given on the competition day .

So i prepared myself for it .On the competition day my topic was mental health and ways to improve it.

It was little difficult for me, but I had to complete it, So i used my imagination and thought about a mentally disturbed person and drawed according to the topic.

I draw some pictures representing ways to enhance mental health.

When it was

Actually when I was in twelfth class, there was a speech competition. The participants had to speak on a random topic for 2 minutes. I enrolled my name for this contest.

Story

The day arrived, and it was my turn. I went on the stage and the judges gave a topic to speak on.   I had to describe the time when I met some Bollywood actor.  In really I had never met any Bollywood actor in reality, so I had to use my imagination. I was given one minute to prepare notes. I imagined that I met the superstars Amitabh Bachan. We had a long talk and had a cup of tea together. I also imagined that Amitab Bachan gave me a pen as a gift and he also gave me his autograph on my diary. I spoke on the topic for 2 minutes. The judges got very happy with my imagination and speech. I was awarded the first prize for my excellent imagination.

Introduction 7

We all use imagination in our day-to-day lives. Imagination is a wonderful thing. When we read a book or hear a story, we imagine the characters. We also imagine the situation in our minds. In happy times we imagine good things. In sad times, all negative thoughts come in our minds. Here I would like to talk about a situation when I used my imagination. Once I took part in a painting competition in my hometown. I was in 10th class, and I represented my school in this competition, which was organized by a local NGO, the J.C. club. We had to use our imagination to draw and paint a picture on the theme of  Drug addiction. I knew that if we take addicting drugs, our bodies become lifeless and our lives become meaningless. I used my imagination and drew two skeletons – one smoking a cigarette and the other injecting itself with a drug. I wanted to convey the message that narcotic drugs can turn us into skeletons and our end is near. I was overjoyed when my name was called out as the first prize-winner. All my friends and teachers who were there congratulated me. Our principal announced my name in the morning assembly the next day and everyone clapped for me.

Follow up Questions

1. Do you think that some people are more creative than others?

Yes definitely. People are different in their capacities of imagination. In my

opinion artists, writers and poets are more creative than any other people.

They can think what others cannot.

2. How can the skill of imagination be cultivated?

This skill has to be cultivated from early years. If children are not dependent

on media and technology then they will develop a great potential to be able

to imagine and create wonders like Wright brothers.

3. Do you think thinking capacities of people have reduced?

Yes, a lot. A lot of people just don’t think deeply. I think that people do not

want to make an effort to think because most things are readily available to

them. Technology is the enemy of thinking capacity.

4. Do you think that children are more imaginative than adults?

Yes, because their minds are young and they are unstoppable. Children are

not obstructed by ego or logic and that is a major reason why they can

imagine better than adults.

5. Why can’t most people think from the other’s perspective?

As people grow up they become rigid and more firm on their ideas and

beliefs. To be able to think from the perspective of others require good

understanding and maturity. Intention is also a very important thing to

understand others.
