Capture the Imagination!

The Friendship Blueprint by Karim Padaniya is a book for young children to understand their true self and how to build true and lasting bonds with peers and close ones.  This book is written in a very simple and clear tone with interesting stories and examples. There are self reflective questions for the readers to enjoy the stories and to connect with their own self. Divided into 13chapters, each chapter addresses different topics which are important in the teenage years. A lot of advice on building good habits, managing your time with technology, handling peer pressure and all about your inner self and your passions is also talked in this book by the author. I really enjoyed reading this book and love the self reflection part where spending time with yourself comes into the frame. You can buy this book from:  https://amzn.eu/d/b1RqRoC  

How many times has it happened to you that when you really want to take a short trip somewhere, it just does not happen? But sometimes two trips in the same month take place. What a long break, right? The first trip was to Ahmedabad for a professional meeting, where I spent an extra day exploring the city. From exploring the nightlife of the city, having the best tandoori momos, lunch at Chinese restaurant, and having Starbucks for the very first time, it was day out with my best friend.  The second trip was to Mumbai. I was excited for this trip because I was visiting Mumbai after 2 years. It was a 10-day trip that included attending a wedding, shopping, having the best food, and spending time with my family, especially my mom. This time, Mumbai felt different. Every shopping place I visited took me back to the old times when I used to buy so much stuff just to secure the year until I visited again. The roadside seekh paratha and the cake from Warden bakery are to die for. The pam...

  "This Love that Feels Right" by Ravinder Singh is a book about Naina, a married woman who is unhappy in her marriage despite having all the materialistic things. She craves what is called love from her husband. Naina meets a guy named Aarav, who is younger than her. They become really good friends and spend a lot of time hanging out.

I recently took part in a workshop which took place in my college itself. The workshop was about Creating a visual experience. So on the first day we made a list of appealing and disturbing visuals and then later on selecting any 5 keywords from our list and then creating a story for kids. First step was to create a plot and then elaborating the story and creating frames. Frames divide the whole story into parts or sequence we can say. after discussing the plot and the storyline with the faculty I started making it digitally. I kept it minimal and tried putting bright colors so that it looks attractive. I made animated face features and used funky dialog box. I then decided to show the whole scenario happening in a book which is kept on a bag at the airport. Our faculty also explained us the reason why should someone buy your design. Another element which we focused on in this workshop was something complimentary items along with the product. It is not compulsory to put in each a...

I am a door, standing strong at place, since so many years. I have seen the changes  happening since the years. People who spent their childhood here, are now lost in their own world forgetting how many memories it has given them. Not only memories but also a bond, an attachment, with the surroundings. The Family also shifts to cities  for a better lifestyle. But the only thing that has changed here is the people. Earlier it was a Family which stayed here but now it is only a few kids and the staff, whom I see everyday  in blue uniform, with bags and bottles, some crying and some laughing. I also see people getting wood for their home, or some taking their cattle to raise. It feels very nice, when someone unlocks me. I kind of get an exercise. But more than being unlocked, I am in a still position locked, sometimes for hours but sometimes for days. Though all the problems, I am standing strong protecting the ...

Writing is a way of communicating in different languages. How many of you reading this blog have a habit of writing?  Writing does not just involve taking the notes or copy pasting something. It also involves sharing your thoughts or feeling like in Diary Writing. Letter Writing, Creative Writing, Report Writing, etc. are the other types of Writings. Writing helps to increase your writing skills, makes you feel good, helps you communicate better.  Writing has become so close to my heart that I have started sharing my thoughts, ideas, feeling, moods and all the things to my book so much. This does not mean I don't talk to anyone around me or my family, but I feel really good when it comes to sharing via writing in my book. This book I keep it to myself as a personal thing between myself and the book, like talking and sharing secrets with your favourite soft toy in older days. I feel that the book is never going to judge me, whatever may I hare with it. It's like s...

Hi Guys, This is Aafrin Damani and I am a student. I got inspired from my own writings whatever I have written till now and thought of starting a blog where I can share my ideas and thoughts and connect to people also. I do not wish to write about a particular blog but a mix of topics which inspires the audience and it becomes a friendly reading. Writing has become my hobby since I started to pen down some of the memories which couldn't be captured and referred once it is over. Starting a blog has always given me both positive and negative thoughts. Because we are in such a world that it takes less than a minute to share something and create problem for anyone. Though I will not be writing something which creates problems or grudges against anyone or myself. "The best way to get things done is to simply start."  I have heard this quote a lot of times from my teachers and today I just applied it to myself. So as the name of this blog suggests, Capture the Imaginatio...
