Boredom and moving on (with thanks to Manasa Madishetty aka MASH)

Boredom is something that i cannot bear ..... It eats into my system, it corrodes my creativity, it erodes my emotions .... It kills the fun in doing something, anything ..... It plays the spoilsport .... No lethargy here, no laziness ..... Just plain boredom!!

The next step awaits ..... "restlessness" .... this is worse!! It takes the bored mind, twists it till it writhes in agony .... Its that feeling when you want to do something just to break from the shackles of monotony and boredom, but you dont know what to do .... you either dont have something to do or you simply cannot pin-point what you want to do ..... A confusion with nothingness and too-many-choices playing the two sides ....

As i was dribbling these thoughts and was frantically searching for something to do, i realised i better write about it ..... This would atleast release the stress/tension built up inside me from all this confusion and boredom (wow! what a combo ..... confusion and boredom!!) .....

I thought i'd better talk to someone and get an idea as to what to write .... or rather, feed them with the idea and check out whether this blog entry would be meaningful .....

The first name that usually pops up to my mind would be of some new found friend .... And here she was, my darling little new friend ..... Manasa Madishetty (aka MASH, this name reminds me of two things ..... the old-time Star-Plus serial with all those military things and mashed potatoes, yet its her nick and she'd have got it for some reason, maybe as simple as it looks that its picked off MAnasa madiSHetty ..... so i'd give it, its much needed respect and prominence) .....

I message her from my cellphone and begin with a "Hmmm .....", she says "Sorry i could not message earlier .... I was busy cuz i was workin from home .... You said you were bored .... how are things ..... " (or something of the sort) ...... i reply with a "Yeah am bored ...."!! Then i tell her that i'm stuck up with the completion of this blog and its on boredom ...... she says "Move on, find something better and exciting to write on" ...... I say "Hmmm .... How about you, our conversations etc" ...... she says "Move on .... our conversations are not that interesting, find something good" ...... I say "Ok .... will write something"

So here i am ..... sitting to write about something interesting .....

At this moment ..... I get a call from my best pal Raghu ...... he begins with the usual and funny "Yellide?" (which means "Where is it?") ...... I say "Ille computer mundhe ide" ("Its in front og the PC") ..... he says "Coffee kudiyakke barutta adu?" ("Will it come out for coffee?") ..... I say "Barutte aadre adu swalpa wait maadbekagutte ..... ee blog entry mugsi barutte idu" ("It will come, but that(raghu) will have to wait for two minutes till this(me) finishes the blog entry")

Thus the whole plot of writing this blog of boredom is killed too ...... Let me see what is in store for me out there ......
