The Art of Getting Bored

Lets face it, we hear this phrase a lot of times in our life. This is so boring. And perhaps by now you are also saying this out aloud too. The variety of thoughts that your mind conjures up is astonishing when you are bored.

But when are you really bored ? When attending that class where the professor is speaking only to himself ? Or that meeting where "Optimized strategy for bottomline enhancement" is being discussed ? The prime outcome of boredom is a notebook with modern abstract art that can give M.F Hussain a run for his money. But this is the stuff of normal people.

This is how to get bored "strange" style:

1) Yawn, even forcibly

Yes, yawn a lot, till it brings out the tears from your eyes. Yawn so much that people with you think that you were born with this strange mouth.

2) Read The Hindu

If you want to drown yourself in boredom and begin a vicious circle, just pick up this South Indian idea of Page 3.

3) Swallow some air and burp

This is very helpful in meetings. Louder the burp better it is. Even better if you had butter chicken with raw onions. After about 15 mins you will sense a serene calm around you that only an empty air-conditioned room can give.

4) Spread It !

Start a discussion on some arcane topic, Philosophy, Psychology, Politics being the favourite ones. This will help spread the word of boredom around and in future may result in widespread discontent and a revolution begins.

5) Write a blog

So, you see !
