Boring? NOT!

What.to.write.about? My mind is as blank as a blank A4 paper on a slow day at work. If you are one of those rare people who harbor the motivation to browse through severely lame blog sites on lazy Saturday afternoons, then you might have noticed that i got a tad burned out on blogging lately. I need motivation to write a post and that is what has been missing (again :s) in the last few days and thus the blog burnout . But i realized today, squeezed between my numerous tasks at work (facebooking and twittering mostly :s),that there is a special type of motivation that got me starting a blog in the first place! That motivation stems from boredom. And today, as i am click clicking away at my keyboard, i feel like i am the queen of boredomville! And so, here i am. And blessed is your presence to help me out of this boredom into something a little less boring than dull.

Boredom can be very…engulfing. It starts off at work and follows you around to your house and stays with you for the rest of the week and then surprises you on your trip to Manikgonj or other get away places over the weekend. So when I finally arrived at Manikgonj for the weekend with friends, i was quite shocked to see boredom lying flat on my bed and grinning at me with its oh-so-wicked smile. I grinned back ofcourse. Looked upwards towards..something…and then i looked back at it with such contempt that it flinched a little. I froze my grin and mocked it a bit until it “smartened” up to figure out what i was trying to do. It accepted my challenge and disappeared. But i could tell, it was lurking around somewhere in that room and followed me around, but always keeping a distance (the coward thing )

The war was on. It was a cold war though. Because every time we mistakenly stood face to face, we grinned while contemplating on our moves to outfox each other. The place was in its favor. There was absolutely nothing to do or see at Manikgonj. But i was not prepared to accept defeat! So i engaged myself in activities that were even vaguely interesting, like posing as a supermodel (:P ) for pictures and sneaking out with my boyfriend every chance i got

Overall, i was careful enough to not give boredom a chance to reign over me and my travel buddies as often as it had planned to. And it was a very relaxing trip with people most of whom i had met earlier and were very friendly and fun to just “hang” and do nothing much significant.

Back from the trip, back at work, and everything is still the same. Nothing ever changes much. All we can hope for is a break once in a while from routine life! Be it boring…or not!
