Reinventing the wheel

Dragging jobs, same office gossip, closed circle of friends/colleagues, nothing new, life's getting to you, aint it ?? :-) Well, if yes, then go ahead and read a write-up, glossed with sarcasm, on a world wide crisis faced by our generation - Boredom!! ahem..and its evil twin monotony :-)

It’s brought up in many conversations ,over cup of tea with colleagues, friends, family, grrr… it’s a widespread disease now!!!!

It’s something which I would never want to understand or relate to. Strongly despise a few human traits like boredom and would quickly want to do away with them. I believe boredom is easily induced and is contagious (pun intended)through conversations. Try hanging around with someone who is constantly cribbing about boredom and monotony and you will start questioning it yourself!!!

I’d say, who’s to stop these from creeping into our lives, we ourselves. Whether it be family, workplace, relationships…no one’s spared. The best getaway from monotony is re-invention. All you need is to get a different perspective. I know, variety is the spice of life, but for the “constant” factors in our lives, the best we can do is ‘give it another dimension’.
Creation is the best ability given to a human mind, so create new habits, challenges, opportunities, ideas.
Evaluation and spontaneity should co-exist. Enjoy taking risks at times.
Change your style, wardrobe, places that you hangout, make time for things that you always wanted to do but never had the chance, expand your social circle, read up as information leads to new horizons , take a holiday with family, friends, lover, take your ‘special someone’ out on a date..probably they need a break more than you. :-)
Most of all stop repeating to yourself that you’re bored, its like inception.As Cobb puts it, "What's the most resilient parasite? An Idea." :-)

Spend some time with yourself and evaluate if there is a regular pattern which is getting to you .Breaking away from monotony isn’t too difficult, it’s just a matter of giving it a shot.

A fiction called Romance..

They have been an enigma , their stories speak of undying love for one another..Giving us the notion that " Love lingers on forever".. Such is the charisma of "Star-crossed lovers" in a human society.
Writers across the world have given them this identity in fairy tale romances.

Let's face it, had they lived together and put their love to test in this living world , they too would end up with the same problems as any of us.
Their story lived because "Romance" as a concept has been glamourized in our minds. Let's trace it back to all the fairy tale narratives which always end as ".. And they lived happily ever after.."
But when attraction and loving relationships face reality, then we see, how people grow out of relationships, compatibility is lost, circumstances and sometimes family-ties cause separation.. We have such star-crossed lovers walking amongst us everyday. Which is why fairy tale romances and a "romeo-juliet" or a "devdas" never fascinated me. They are no heroes to me...Maybe as a literary content, I could appreciate the work of the authors , but I find it hard to relate to..
When looking for ethereal magic in your Love story, do keep in mind , factors like compatibility, like-mindedness,clarity of roles in each others lives, trust and dependability. Contrary to the belief, a practical decision in choosing your partner can also give you a lifetime of togetherness and has it's own magical moments. Thus, dont always Just "follow your heart" blindly..cause sometimes its just mind over matter :-)
