Leisure and Timepas...

Ques : what do you do for living?
Ans : coding
Ques : what do you do in the evening?
Ans : facebook
Ques : what are you doing in the weekends?
Ans : Bas.. movies, khana, peana aur sona.. :) as simple as that

        And Still we are proud as we belong to the group which is properly educated and is expected to change something. We strongly comment on each sensitive issue of this country, the growing corruption, the diminishing democracy, economic growth and many things. But are they really gona change if we keep spending our time with the above manner. The straight answer is NO. 

         Well the topic is not to improve the nation with changing our life , the idea is  : are we spending our leisure or utilizing our leisure? Usually the leisure is always meant to lessen the mind and body and be relax and cool. When you come home, tired and stressed and partially shot by the manager, the last thing you do is think. You want to relax and cut loose. As I have seem from my experience this means three or four normal things.Put your ass in front of an idiot box or make yourself chemically stimulated( I mean ) or think think.. you have no work why to leave office, lets spend some more time there only.  And we claim we are good enough to spend Quality time during whatever leisure we have! Really!

         We are so much addicted to the digital world that we hardly think there are things beyond it. When we are quite upset we sit still thinking of the same things again and again. The actual reason behind it is we really do not want to explore what else can  we perform during that time? That is the reason we either hit the keyboard or hold a bottle or rub the hair.. and nothing. So the ultimate reason of the boredom or the anxiety of the current e-world is the inability to escape from the digital world and ignorance, what to perform in the leisure.

          Well, how to solve the problem? I have identified some of the really interesting, rather beneficial timepas work.. :P.  Lots of people love eating delicious food, how about making  each of them at home and inviting your close friends to have them and having a fruitful time :)   In my college time we used to spend lots of time on "Post match discussion" , where we used to discuss what went  wrong and what can be corrected in the next match and well the so called strategy-making-process . We can do similar time pass taking some current-related topics in to our discussions( like office, games, society, girlfriends, breakups, cooking, hobbies, travel-places, storybooks, marriages, future-planning, internet sites, forums, gossips). In a group ( or with another special person ) it really lessens the burden of thought and gives courage to perform. In between we can read books of our interest and tell others about it. We can travel new and again nearby places  and have time pass and dinner! Sometimes we can opt to spend our time to go to those places where the poor and the distressed are there, we can take a look at the current situation which we always ignore. We can manage to arrange small functions or hangout-picnics together which always gives fun and takes none :) At last , we always have options to watch movies, go to the malls, facebooks, chats, g-hangouts, twits .. which are really the least priority to have quality time.

    Well the small but important idea is  that "Always Be involved in some activities that helps you and that makes you feel free :) "

A very valid issue taken up. Yes, we do while away our leisure time on seemingly unworthy digital world. A more active lifestyle would be helpful both from a physical as well as mental perspective. Though some sentences in the blog remain baffling to me (RUBBING THE HAIR !! what is that all about), the points mentioned are very valid and in general a good read.

:) Sunil : rubbing the hair means thinking some unnatural things which does not exist... :)

You are strongly emphasing on Socialising to set yourself free :D

I am actually opposed to that. Socialising is okay, but there shouls be some time only for yourself.

Why dont you blog about the options one can explore alone?
