The Creative Sciences offers specialized coaching in design, heritage, and creative education, blending academic guidance with real-world insights. With expert mentorship and hands-on learning, it helps students and professionals excel in competitive exams, design careers, and innovative practices.

A set of 10 short, idea-sparking questions for design students to trigger very short creative writing practice (like micro-stories, reflections, or design-inspired notes):

1. If your chair could whisper one secret about its past, what would it say?

2. What would a pencil dream about when it is not being used?

3. Imagine a door that opens, not to a room, but to a memory—whose memory is it?

4. If colors could argue, what would red and blue fight about?

5. A staircase leads you somewhere unexpected—where does it take you?

6. What story would a pair of old shoes tell if they could speak?

7. If a window could capture emotions instead of views, what would you see today?

8. What happens when a mirror refuses to show your reflection?

9. If you had to design a home for the wind, what would it look like?

10. Write a postcard message from a lamp to the night.

👉 These are deliberately short, prompt-like and imaginative, so aspiring creative students can respond with 3–4 sentences or even poetic fragments, exercising creativity without overthinking.

PROMPTS FOR STORYTELLING Five 6-sentence story prompts, followed by a short example story for each: Creative writing Practice for NIFT | NID By Dr Anindita Roy, Creative Career Coach , South Delhi | 9818541252 WWW.THECREATIVESCIENCES.COM Prompt 1: "The Train That Skipped Stations" A passenger boards a familiar train only to realize it isn't stopping at any scheduled station. Strange passengers get off at invisible platforms. The announcements are in a language they don’t understand. Their phone shows a time that keeps moving backward. No one else seems concerned. They must decide whether to jump off while it's still moving. Example: I boarded the 7:45 train expecting the usual morning crowd and half-sleep yawns. But the train sped past my stop—and every other one. I asked a co-passenger why we weren’t stopping, and she just smiled and disappeared. The loudspeaker crackled in a tongue that made my skin crawl. My pho...
