It has been 3 months now since I
moved to Baroda. At times, life seemed to be fast, lively and fun. But mostly,
it has been dead slow and dull. For someone who is lazy by nature, staying away
alone could turn into either a boon or a bane. Well, in my case, it has been the
latter largely. To be fair on myself, I have tried my hand on various stuffs to
keep myself away from boredom.
Read Books – Steve Jobs by Walter
Isaacson is collecting dust in a corner.
Watch Movies/Series – My age old
laptop is dead.
Learn Gujarati – LOL.
Try Cooking – My first attempt’s
result is positive. Likely to pursue.
Explore City – After 6 days work
in a week. Really?
Party – A distant dream. FYI, I am
in Gujarat.
Self-Introspection – Who am I
kidding?!
One might argue that, I have not
really tried all the above. No! You are wrong! I have given it a thought (literally)!
Any suggestions to kill boredom
are invited. The sooner the better as boredom is killing me real fast.
Meanwhile, I shall give some tips
on ‘what not to do’ when alone. Whilst I was sick and bedridden a while back, a
colleague of mine bought me a bottle of sugarcane juice. I had a little of it
and forgot the rest. A couple of days later, I found the bottle rolling
aimlessly under my bed and decided to empty the rest. Now, listen carefully. NEVER
EVER shake a bottle of sugar cane juice before emptying it. Alas, no one warned
me before. I gave it a quick shake and turned the cap a little. Just a little!
That was it. A mini bomb exploded! The bottle cap went on a mission to mars,
the bottle back fired on to the wall. The stale juice was all over my head and
neither the ceiling was spared. The noise was so loud that my ear continued to
buzz for hours making me seriously worry and the blast left my palm numb for
some time! Amazed at the nature’s trick, I was profoundly laughing at myself. I
thank my stars for being sick at that time, my neighbor cleaned up the whole
mess while I was on a hunt for the missing cap!
Lesson learnt – When someone
gives you something for free, consume it ASAP!
