Getting Bored - Read This

By Pooja Desai; Illustration by Anup Singh

Pooja Desai studies in Class IX at Jasudben M L School in Mumbai. Here she writes for all those who are getting bored and have nothing to do.

If you have nothing to do at all, think what you would like to do, watch tv, drink water, go to see a movie, sleep, read or nothing of this sort.

If you still have nothing to do read this. Even then if you don't like it, think what you like.

If you don't want to do anything at all, go for a holiday outside your city. Even if you go out and are bored there, too, comeback and again read this essay.

If you find this a real bore then why read it? But it doesn't matter if you don't read this, because it's as boring as it might be, just now even if you are not bored.

You could join some classes like table tennis, swimming, drawing classes, singing, dancing, skating, badminton, basketball, tennis, etc.

I don't like to join these classes and further more I don't have time to join these classes because I do nothing before the time they start, and I take a 'cat nap'. (Only for those who are sleepy, if you are not, then try them).

Some examples are I could have joined table tennis classes, but too bad, it was too late to give the form, and now I don't want to join it.

The swimming coaching camp has already started so I can't go there either, anyway, I already know the basics of swimming and I don't like swimming too much, except for that its a good exercise.

The drawing class is quite near to my place, but I already know how to draw, and I don't like drawing and I don't want to draw at all! (This is only for people who are weak in drawing), (just an excuse for not drawing).

First of all I hate singing except for some songs. But truly speaking, I can't sing at all. So even if I like singing, I can't sing, and, if I could sing, I don't like it.

Dancing is tiring. I cannot run for 5 minutes at a stretch, how will I dance for 10 minutes? Anyway I can't dance on classical music or on 'filmi' songs because they are hopelessly dumb.

Again, skating, it's quite near to my place but the problem is how to get there alone? I can't go in the bus and I don't like to go in an auto, and of course, I can't drive car how is it possible to reach there?

Anyhow, I can learn skating, but the problem is I have no interest in it, so why should I? (This line is for those who cannot balance themselves).

Ah! badminton is a nice game, try it. It's my best game, but I don't have time to play, because I like to read books, watch tv and eat snacks for a long time.
