But most importantly, have you ever realized the importance of it??? .. hmm.. u read it right .. importance of boredom?? !!!!
Allow me to explain... now we all know how gravitation was discovered.. right.. ??? Sir Issac Newton was strolling in a garden one hot summer afternoon.. when he just spotted a shady apple tree and decided to laze under its shade for a while.. while he was relaxing an apple from the tree fell and hit him on his head, startling Mr Newton and making him wonder ," why did the apple come down and not go up instead????"............. now guys honestly, do you think Mr Newton would have thought anything like this had he had a preoccupied mind??? No... never... it was because of shear boredom and disturbance of which it struck him what we today know as Newton's law of Gravitation..!!! ..
So you see guys, what boredom can do to you .. you can be NEWTON... :))
Let me tell you another story not as famous as Mr Newton's but of a close friend of mine. This friend of mine used to spend her day playing games on net and somehow pass time reading or chatting.. But soon she got bored of all this and could not find anything that could keep her busy. Her frustration had reached its pinnacle when she started re-cleaning her already clean kitchen twice a day in order to keep herself busy.. One day in her usual fit of frustration and while cleaning .. sorry.... re cleaning.. her kitchen.. she banged her filled till top , curry bowl so hard on the dinning table that the curry spilled not only on the table but also on the white glass vase kept on it.. ! The colour combination .....red curry on that Ivory white vase looked so beautiful that she could not help staring at it for some time.. and then it struck her, like it did to Mr Newton.. " why don't I work on Vase!!!???" that was it.. that was the defining moment in her life which changed everything else coming in future for her...... she was now doing something she loved and enjoyed the most..
So you see friends .. how boredom lead this friend of mine to a new creation of her own.. !!!! and then she started giving wings to her imagination.. all sorts and all occasion vases she created to suit her mood, her corner of room,her kitchen, her dinning room .. she had them all.. Now in case you still wondering who this friend of mine is.. then folks.. she is none other than mirror image of myself.. I call her creativity .. you can call her Havisha...
