An insight into Boredom

So here i am...slapped with a 10 day sentence to stay in manipal (supposedly the city of dreams) until the 28th.
so in my boredom, i shall delve further into my mind and experiment with the hitherto unexplored realm of "time-paas". here i go.

Ways i discovered to Kill Time:-
1) Kill flies....no seriously. as much as people put it in the negative sense, it's really not that bad. once you get past the whole "flies-are-gross" part. Maybe if they had an olympics for this, then i would certainly have taken a shot.

Not that I'm damn good at it or something, but i guess you could call me a progressed-amateur (if there is anything like that...and if there is none..then u know how jobless i am) I can hold my own in a ONE versus FIFTY battle. However, the flies (cunning bastards), have realised this and thus attack in hundreds. In that case, i take the help of an old friend.

Experienced soldiers will know what that was. Yes! it was deodorant time.

Out came the heavy artillery, and before you knew it, the flies were in disarray.

Not to be outdone, the enemy re-grouped and began an attack from the sides. Confused, I stretched out for another spray-can and finally managed to thwart the oncoming manouever.

To cut a long story short, it was a great victory....vini, vidi, and i sprayed!

2) Actually sit and watch a Test Match.

I know a lot of you guys are big fans of cricket (and after Team India's WC debacle, why not eh?) but i cannot bear to watch an ENTIRE DAY of cricket. Even during India's run up to the final of WC '03, i could only bring myself to watch the really interesting matches (usually those with India).

So i guess you can understand the strength which i had to muster to walk to the common room. I hadn't intended to watch the match perse. i just wanted to watch some TV. and the only "decent" thing coming was the test match between england and west indies. Now having been raised in a cricket-crazy country, i had a fair idea of what cricket was, and that england and WI were not names of new saas-bahu serials.

OK...i dont want to piss off any cricket lovers here...so im just gonna say that i managed to sit through 20 overs. end of discussion.

3) listen to ONE Himesh Reshammiya song....

it's fucked up
