Boring is fun!

One always expects that life should never be devoid of any excitements. Every now and then some thing out of the ordinary must happen. However, this doesn't happen always. We follow the same routine everyday, wake up in the morning (time may vary from person to person), freshen up (degree may vary from person to person), go to work, work (amount may vary from person to person), return from work, then go to bed. Not including the various breaks (number may vary from person to person) taken in between for food, sleep, carrom, TT, fooz ball etc etc. Every single day the same routine, always wishing that something new would happen today. However, one wonders what it is that we are expecting. Do we expect that we will meet someone new in our daily routine? Is there going to be a celebration in the office? then comes the blank...what can we expect to happen new in such kind of routine, hardly anything. Even the two events I could think of are less probable. This blank then leads to another question, what is it then that drives us throughout the day? every single day. Is the work so attractive and motivating that it wakes us up every morning? The answer would be a doubtful no. Though there definitely are days when you look forward for the work ahead in the day, but it's not always. Then are these occasional days the source of motivation for our everyday work, that we come everyday with the hope that this day could be one of those occasional days. Maybe.

Finally we settle for this daily routine, hardly expecting anything out of it. Going through the day as a mechanical robot. Everyday being the same as yesterday. Slowly, this boring routine becomes the only fun thing. The desire for something new dies off. The mind stops looking for anything out of the ordinary. We settle for it. The boring life.
