Channa Masala and creativity
[ Mood: Angelic ]
Cooking makes me feel creative. I say that because I read that phrase somewhere and it sounded cool. No, I mean seriously, it does make me feel creative. Just this morning in a surgical cooking strike so blindingly
fast you would need slow-motion replay to even see it, I made some great channa masala. I was in, I was out, I was done.
And all through this process I was feeling so creative, that I could have filled up all the surplus creativity (notice here that Im talking only about the surplus creativity) into several small airtight Tupperware containers and brought them to the office to be kept close to me while I write my JSP
code, which are so badly in need of some creativity.
Ok, there were also some “not-so-creative” thoughts (like “did I add the salt????”………….”OMG!!! did I add it twice??????”), but lets leave those out for the time being.
Let me give you a sample of a creative thought that I had:
Why dont we get together some sort of a cooking group right here in AdventNet. The entry criteria can be very broad and allow any “carbon based life form”. Im sure a lot of married male ADVENTurers would gladly join in (Im seriously counting on sridharr). Obviously this would be done outside of regular office hours of 8AM to 10PM when there are no deadlines for the next 3 months.
Now I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, “As a married man with enough opportunities and necessity for cooking even otherwise, why the hell are you talking about a cooking group within AdventNet”. The answer is simple, “I dont have to clean up afterwards”.
Vote for what you think of this idea:
1. Please go away.
2. You call that a creative thought, Seriously?????
3. Not a bad thought, but dont get a big head.
4. So much creativity and innovation??? Please accept my next pay cheque.
