BbRAINSTORMING....

now the task was to brainstorm on all the data collected from the users, on what, why,when how of doodle.As I initially began it became difficult to figure out where to start ,as all the data i had was descriptive and more of personal views of people.This is where i understood how personal the process of doodling is and how it means different for different people but yet is a part of almost everyone's life.Here is where I'd like to mention what one of my very good friend akanksha (who thinks she's a doodle herself) wrote on doodling..just couldn't help but sharing it with you guys

what is a doodle to you....

Its a state of mind
the moment
an extension of myself
an appeal
my silent need to be heard
my silent need to be remembered
my alter ego
my hidden desires
my hidden regrets

It is what I was....and who I am.

But most importantly
Its who I'm becoming.

when do I doodle....

Not when I'm bored.....
A doodle is the child of a highly potent mind in action,
highly volatile thoughts in progression.
'Nothing' is the presence of everything.
A doodle is that everything.

I doodle when I'm avoiding eye contact.
I doodle when I've made eye contact and fucked up.
I doodle when the pen has red ink.
I doodle when I'm vulnerable
I doodle when my name can be written in yet another style
I doodle when I'm about to deliver the punchline for the day
I doodle when I'm defensive
I doodle when I feel the post modern angst to look creatively busy
I doodle when my mind has asked me to.

How do I doodle....

Whatever be the means, as long as it justifies the end.......
a part of me has been left behind.
Now who cares HOW thats done.

Also, someone raised an interesting question which is worth a thought...

is the thought process same while doodling and fiddling?

so now back to brainstorming,so then i decided to pick up words out of descriptive answers of what and why/when and categorize them to get a overview and answers , for my better understanding....

Now the task remains to even consolidate this data further and come up with minimalistic words to understand and extract the essence of this system better.
