Hi Friends!
Welcome and Namaste!
This
issue the editorial team thought of exploring the word Srijan, which
in English means Creation.
We
thought of finding out some possible meanings of Creation. And
because it is an e-magazine, we thought of using e-resources towards
understanding the meaning of Creativity. So, we went straight to
Google (the most preferred search engine in the campus, and of
course, worldwide!). The search query returned 3.64 Crore search
results! If we were to visit each of these sites even for an
insignificant 1 second (i.e. just touch and go), it would still take
us 421.3 days to complete the exploration. That means more than 1
year of working round the clock and we would still be no wiser
because the visit would be of just 1 second.
So,
we safely, restricted ourselves to two well known online resources
and this is what they have to say about Creation:
1.
According to www.thefreedictionary.com
cre·a·tion
(kr
-
sh
n)
n.
1.
a.

b. The fact or state of having been created.
c. The act of investing with a new office or title.
2.
a.
The world and all things in it.
b. All creatures or a class of creatures.
3.
Creation The divine act by which, according to various religious and
philosophical traditions, the world was brought into existence.
4.
An original product of human invention or artistic imagination: the
latest creation in the field of computer design.
2.
According to www.onelook.com
The
following are some words similar to Creation: conception,
cosmos, existence,
foundation,
founding, initiation,
instauration,
institution,
macrocosm,

(My God! We never knew there could be so many similar meaning words
for Creation!)
3.
We also thought of finding out how Creation looks like by going to
Google Images. These are some of the few selected images as given by
the search results.
