As my close friends tell about me, I do generally a lot of planning. Planning the year, planning the expenses, planning the career, planning Siya's career, plan cooking, plan, plan and plan. After I have left my current job, I took a conscious decision of not planning anything for roughly 6 months especially for myself. Of course, everyday was a big chaos. But I soon realized Chaos is creativity, and creativity is chaos. They are
the same thing. Creative work doesn’t happen by plan and control. I do know a good number of people who are detail freaks and who are genuises too, but I am sure they did not have a plan to come up with a creative genius idea. It came to them
because they were open to random thoughts, explored paths no one else
had thought to look down, took an idea they saw from someone else and
twisted it in a new way. Creativity comes from a place of chaos, and
it’s only when you open yourself to this lack of control that you can
come up with your best creativity.

Hi Purwa,
To some extent I do agree with you. But, I feel certain amount of planning is essential if not too rigorous. Undoubtedly we should keep ourselves open to random thoughts and creativity, planning does help in avoiding ourselves the pain of going haywire.
Well then, you will agree to the fact the going haywire will also cause a lot of damage and cleaning the damage is not what we want with the busy lives that we lead! :-)
Last but not least, your blog is a good read. Nice post. Keep it coming...
Cheers,
Nithya.
Purwa creativity comes instantly which will make lots of difference .....
