- Here I would like to talk about a creative person who is my best friend Saloni’s mother
- Her name is Ramanpreet and she is in her early fifties.
- She’s always making something out of waste things that we throw away.
- Whenever I go to her house she’s always making something or the other.
- Saloni tells me that she never sits idle
- She always has a project in her hands
- She has made many things out of waste papers.
- I’ve seen beautiful decoration pieces made of 3-D origami which her mother has made and they look spectacular
- I go to my friend’s house very often and every time I see something new.
- Last time I went she was making tote bags out of old clothes.
- The tote bag she was making looked superb and was very sturdy
- Her mother told me once that the making tote bags out of old clothes is in fact upcycling old clothes and not recycling old clothes because the tote bags are used almost every day.
- She has gifted many tote bags to her relatives and friends and everyone uses them every single day
- Now that single use plastics have been banned everyone should get a tote bag while going to the market
- I have also learnt many things from Saloni’s mother
- I used to admire Saloni for her creativity but I realise that all the creativity has come from her mother.
- I think Saloni’s mother is very creative because she can put just anything at home to use.
- She has made flowerpots from old used bottles and oil cans
- Her whole house is decorated with beautiful things and none of these have been bought from the market
- All these things are the result of her mother's creativity.
Follow Up Questions
- Do you think you are a creative person?Answer: Yes I am a creative person but all my creativity is for myself only. Every day I creatively mix and match my old dresses and make them look new. I also like to make pencil sketches out of my imagination and create different characters.
- Is it good for children to learn arts?Answer: Yes it is very good for children to learn arts. Arts bring out their creativity and breaks the monotony of tough academic studies. Arts also keep children in touch with their culture and tradition.
- What kind of jobs require people to be creative?Answer: I think all jobs require people to be creative. If people are not creative then their job may become dull and boring after just a few days. If any job has to be done over and over again then some element of creativity has to be added to it. For example an engineer needs to think of new ways to do things the plumber needs to learn new things every day to make his work better and simpler a carpenter needs to learn new ways of doing things that can add grace to his work a teacher has to bring up innovative methods to teach so that children don’t get bored

If they are not creative people then stop following them as they would appear boring to them but if they add creativity to their work to their talk to the way they do things then they will keep having followers.
