Bored? Naaaah!! Busy? Yessssssssss!!

1.       Endless ennui?

       If you thought boredom implies plenty of time but scarcity of work, you are not all correct. Based on my experience, boredom also means that you have been doing the mundane work for quite some time now. It is high time you awoke the creative department of your brain. Why don’t you take some cues from my observations on how to tame the boring boredom?

             a.       Order of the Deal:

Google all the deals available on beauty, health care, spa or dining, etc. in and around your locality. Be it a 1-month salsa classes for a meager 99rs. in the lane next by, or beauty overhaul services at an unexpected low of 300rs. Once in a while, treat your mind and soul to the pleasant luxuries as these don’t ruin your purse but definitely ride you on a high. Recently i pampered my taste buds to cold coffee with vanilla icecream at a coffeeday outlet. the deal was pay rs. 20 and get buy one get one. the cost of i drink was rs. 104. and i got 2 such drinks for rs.138(i.e., 20+104+taxes). many such lipsmacking deals are available in snapdeal, timesdeal, etc.

b.       Sweet shockers:

Start with a plan of hitting the street-end eatery with a group of friends. Don’t disclose that you have planned a series of surprises for them. Charm them into window-shopping in a street with highest glamour quotient in the town. If your gang is teaming up with dudes, the eye-candies, (I mean the dudettes) are a sure treat as you shop by. Conclude the itinerary with a hang-out at a coffee day outlet far off from the hoots and the honks of the city traffic. Sure shot sweetness assured.

c.        Toast to Toastmasters:

For many of them who do not know what toastmasters is, let me do the privilege of enlightening you. Toastmasters International is a renowned non-profit organisation which can add the adjective “extraordinary” to your speaking skills and “captivating” to your communication abilities. The icing on the cake is that some of the clubs in town permit guests to visit their clubs atmost thrice before you can enroll for the course. Believe me that is a penniless entry to the world of eloquent speeches, hilarity and free snacks (I got pizzas on two of my free visits to the club). You know I am always lucky J

d.       Friendly Feelers: 

What is more soothing to heart than to hear your close pals and dear relatives speak to you? Fetch your telephone directory (oops!! Should I say contacts in your mobile? Mobiles have put the good old telephone directories to rest) and start calling them one by one. Let them know you care. Microblogging sites may very well bridge the gaps of communication but nothing wins over the mellifluous vocal “HELLO”.

e.       Culinary comebacks:

Sometimes you have to take the culinary route to bellow that you are getting bored. Pick that ingredient on whatever your hand lands on. Be it spices, oils, dals or pulses. Toss in to the pan whatever comes to your mind. Cook that ultra fancy designer mischievous dish and serve with master chef aplomb. Within the first gulp, they will be aware of your culinary notoriety. Let them realize that an empty mind is a devil’s workshop. If they don’t realize even then, just say, “ I am bored. Shall I cook the tadka matka jhatka dish I made last month? ” They ll drop all work including pants to engage you lest you should be ready with another ghost recipe.
