Ideally Idle

This happens to be my first post in 2009 and luckily I do not intend to quibble over anything. (though I do consider the matters worthy enough for complaining but as always opinions do differ). This year bought with it lack of objectivity. Though it is not that I have achieved all the objectives that one could have at this point of time, on the contrary if I think seriously than I feel that there has been not a single activity in which I would consider my performance even distinctly regarded as successful. This boredom had made me to start watching series that had gripped other people from the time they had got their hands on the computers in the hostel. Though I considered it to be foolishness to be watching back to back episodes for all day but when I indulged in it, it happened that I came very close to the record of maximum number of back to back episodes, devoting around 8-9 hrs on a single day for it. Now I have understood the meaning of the word IDLE and how in ancient time people would have been forced by boredom to try out things which they themselves considered forbidden and thereby few things once considered in appropriate by a community became a dominant part of it.
We all keep on thinking that had we been blessed with infinite gold deposits than life would have been awesome as in that case working was not one of the activities that one would have been forced into. But looking at the present state I feel that maintaining this kind of idle status for over few months would be killing. But this Idleness had done one good thing, I have started playing again I don't remember after how many years. So now I am back in the field, showing my skills with the bat and the ball (while bowling my skills help batting side or bowling side that is contentious). I am trying out with new games and there are lots of trips on the itinerary too. I had never felt this kind of idleness in my life up till now, not even at any point in the school days. Lets see how constructive or destructive this idleness turns out to be.
