Innovations are not he privilege of some as is a preconceived notion,but it is a well thought out,planned in detail effort of an individual in a particular field and if one decides one can make it happen.Trying out innovations more than anything one needs is little thinking away from ordinary and a lot of courage and positive thinking .I believe astonishing creations happen only when one dares.
There are chances that innovations can be intentional or they can be chance. I think innovations are a brush stroke of an intelligent human being.When any work is done with love and affection then innovations happen and they are usually the best.
At times we do try hard to innovate but what comes out from within is always better than what is planned and tried.
So my suggestion would be work from heart and there you go innovating all the way....in the kitchen,in your dressing and at your work place.
