because of their ordinariness.<\/strong> While \u2018magical\u2019 refers to the breathtaking elements that capture our heart and soul. This finding of the magical has the capacity to capture our imaginations. Who would have thought that 2 pebbles hold so much potential that their touch resulted into fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And in the present scenario, we all know how significant fire is for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Different_Sources_of_Inspiration_from_the_Mundane\"><\/span>Different Sources of Inspiration from the Mundane<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We will study different sources that inspire magical from the mundane under the following heads &#8211; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"From_Nature\"><\/span>From Nature<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once a man sat under an apple tree. Suddenly, an apple fell off the tree. This man got mesmerized by the event and thought why did this apple dropped downwards only and didn\u2019t go upwards? After his intense research and analysis, he concluded that earth has gravity due to which the apple fell down. <strong>This was the great scientist Newton. How mundane this incident might be to a layman but Newton made this moment magical by inventing what we call today as \u2018gravity\u2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"From_Everyday_Human_Interventions\"><\/span>From Everyday Human Interventions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A woman milking cow, a cartwheel running on the footpath of a village and a river passing by it. All these incidents depict the mundane routine of rural life. But even these mundane events spark creativity in artists who portray these on the canvas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>While observing routine chores of our lives, we enrich our understanding of the surroundings. This observation fuels our creative imagination.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"From_Traditions_and_Rituals\"><\/span>From Traditions and Rituals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>India is a diverse country having diverse festivities and traditions. Lighting lamps and candles on Diwali might seem mundane but creative mindscapes seek meaning in lights i.e. it is a symbol of victory of good over evil. <strong>Creative minds also seek for new innovations in these festivities. <\/strong>They come up with new types of lamps, candles and sceneries inspired by different events related to Diwali festival etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, on the festival of Holi, they come up with organic colours organic Ganesha idols on Ganesha Chaturthi etc. This also shows that our festivals are not dead ones rather they evolve with the evolution of the societies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Modern_Innovations_from_the_Mundane\"><\/span>Modern Innovations from the Mundane<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea of inventing something that can fly taking human beings with it to their destinations probably might have come from a bird that flies in the sky<strong>. Laymen watch birds flying in the sky and for them this is the mundane event. But the Wright Brothers made it magical by inventing aeroplane.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, today we have invented ways of online delivery systems, online payments which show modern Innovations that have come from the mundane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advantages_of_finding_magic_in_the_mundane\"><\/span>Advantages of finding magic in the mundane<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_fosters_a_Mindset_of_Appreciation\"><\/span>It fosters a Mindset of Appreciation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We tend to foster a mindset of appreciation by discerning the magical in daily routine things. It is us who should begin to view something interesting in our daily chores. It develops a sense of gratitude for what we have. To find joy, we do need grandeur. But simplicity can also foster joy and contentment. A small cup of tea with our loved ones, going out for window shopping, appreciating home made food etc. can also prove magical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stimulating_Innovation\"><\/span>Stimulating Innovation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sometimes, or ordinary life events inspire us for innovations.<\/strong> These innovations also get praise and appreciation.
