Thinking 'out of box'

Dear Students,

Are you keen to stimulate your 'out of box' thinking skills?

Try out the following:

• Solve crosswords and puzzles within a stipulated time.
• Cultivate ambidexterity. Switch hands for knife and fork.
• Close your eyes, during dinner, and try to identify food on your plate only by smell, taste and touch.
• Learn to mind-map.
• Write down your ideas, thoughts and observations.
• Play computer brain games.
• Create a joke.
• Keep an idea bank.
• Learn a foreign language.
• Spell long words backwards.
• Change your physical-setting.
• Start a blog.
• Learn a musical instrument.
• Get in touch with nature.
• Relax.
• Surround yourself with unlike-minded people too.
• Develop your reading skills.
• Find metaphors to illustrate a concept.
• Manage stress.
• Explore different routes to reach your destination.

Best wishes,
Prof. D. P. Chattopadhyay
