Getting Bored of Things..

Written on Saturday, July 18, 2009 by Siddharth PV

Written on one of those days when nothing exciting's happening in Bangalore..
Or let me say - I HAVEN'T been able to find anything exciting to do out here..

Getting Bored of Things..

You move to a new town..
The town delights you with its new sights and sounds..
 
There's a new world out there waiting to be explored..
Life is beautiful, no chance of getting bored..
 
The answer to 'What's Up' is nothing short of a 1000 words..
Or a 10 minute speech.. Full of the choicest expressions..
 
You settle in..
You dont know when, but familiarity creeps in..
 
Slowly, you have gotten used to the town..
Before you know it - you are wearing a frown..
 
New activities always hold a lot of promise.. Some even run the entire course..
But some of them are fads of course..
 
Parallely, you have new people to meet and greet..
They have interesting stories to say.. And you lap it up, wihtout missing a beat..
 
But over time, people also become a little predictable..
And within some time, the fable has drained down to a babel..
 
---------------------------

So what does a guy do to / should a guy do to overcome this trap of boredom?
[Its almost like time-based promotions - even if you do nothing, it will definitely happen to you over time]
 
1. Once a while, plan a trip to a new place in the vicinity
2. Take up some activity he is REALLY interested in. It could be Music, A Sport, Photography - whatever..
   And follow it religiously..
3. Make a CONSCIOUS effort to meet up with newer people
 
----------------------------
 
PS:
Bangalore is actually a very nice place. Great weather.. Green parks..
Buzzing culture scene.. Lots of music concerts.. Quite a few great place to eat.. A very young crowd to keep all this going..
 
Just that I am having a bad day..

    I must say you are a very good writer.
    The use of the word choicest as an adjective was unusual and apt.
    All an all it was a very creative and good reading experience.
