Boredom busters

After having lived the life of an intern for 7 weeks, I have become an expert boredom buster.

So the Devil is is working overtime and you don't know what to do with the time on your hands?

You are reading just the right post! I can tell you how to spend that time "qualitatively"

The first thing I try to do is call up friends and bug them. Just got back from talking to one very dear friend of mine. I always feel happy after talking to him. He's the first and only guy I know who, like me, can laugh his head off at silly jokes. There are jokes that only the two of us find funnny. :)) (yeah..i know what ur thinking;) And we don't even need jokes to laugh!

Next best alternative: "eyesdrop" on people's conversations in Orkut. My project involved research on mobile usage patterns among young people. To develop a user profile, I visited the orkut profiles of lots of teenagers. Trust me theres lot you can gather about a species from their orkut profiles.

Google random people's names :) This is to be done at the height of boredom. I recently googled one particular person's name and stumbled upon this hilarious profile on a matrimonial site!
That brings me to the next point: Read profiles on matrimonial sites. From wanting a "proportionate girl" to wanting someone who can "lof" with the guy, its a range of interesting reads!!

Google: the most useful boredom buster! google up random topics like bipasha basu's dog's name for example and send the link to all your friends with a "did u know...?"

Read latest celebrity gossip: Who broke up with whom, who replaced whom in the movie, its a whole load of useless news.

You are at office and are really bored. Get into the elevator, ride down/up get out, get into the adjoining elevator and ride back. On the way look at people who are in the elevator with you and try n guess what they do, what they are thinking. Come back and compare notes with a jobless colleague.

And when you are mostest bored - read my blog.
