The Idle Mind...

An idle mind is a devil's workshop - an extremely popular proverb in english and my mother's fav one too. She must ve used it a million times probably because she found me doing nothing a billion times!
But I beg to differ and do not agree to mr.anonymous who wrote this line. For I am left with no choice but to disagree coz if i dont, then i should admit that i am some kinda dracula with the devilishness I ve developed in my mind doing nothing! OK, if that sentence confused u, i am sorry, so am I!
Having celebrated 25 years of doing nothing last january, I would like to invite you guys to take a peep into my journey to nowhere so far. Well, things began on a lazy sunday morning of Jan in 1983, around 7:52 a.m. A caesarian child, too lazy to get out of the womb, already comfortably numb, dumb, lazy and overweight ( around 12.5 pounds the day i was born! ). Now if U think it was a bad start, things just got worse from there! I just got number, dumber, lazier and fatter from then on! :) Things were fine till I reached school. Oh damn! I hated school, I hated teachers, I hated subjects and not surprisingly the feeling was mutual. At school, every year I broke all records in the lowest attendance possible set by my elder brother :)
Then, i got to college and life was a lot better. Here, profs expected people to bunk classes and do nothing. I learnt this art well and put it to good use.
What came next was the big surprise, I got a job and started work. To be honest, I got a job but never started work. The company's name is not given for obvious reason - all of u mite end up applying there! Here, I was scarily inactive that even i got scared. Life had to change!
As they say, Change is unavoidable and healthy! Life changed , education beckoned, joined a B school and things were never the same. Earlier i used to sneak out of my cubicle and sleep in the dorm; Now i slept in the last bench of classes. I had changed and got lazier. The only big difference, I dint get paid for it!
Literally slept thru the 2 years and now am back to corporate world. A week in office, I ve done nothing and I am today put in a project where I am expected to watch everybody, observe and do nothing. I must say these guys have quickly identified my strengths and put me in right use!
Now, I know the previous 500 words could ve been boring, monotonous and repetitive. But guys thats my life for 25 years and I am not bored. And more importantly, I consumed 53 mins of my time writing this and 5 mins of all your time in reading this and making all of us less devilish! Hence, in my own small way, made the world a better place :)
