What bores you?

Some questions bore me instantly. But I recall Mr Bean.

Boredom is the mental status of an individual. This varies from person to person and from time to time. Solely it is a personality-oriented topic.

Sometimes people get distressed for no reason. There may be disappointment over certain ambitions not getting fulfilled. But this question box relates to some spontaneous moments of boredom.

Standing in a queue is always boring, may it be in a bank or anywhere. I have but a clever ready reckoner to overcome the situation. Eager to know? I start musing next time I’ll not be in a queue. My stature would be raised to the level that the officials at the counter would run down to welcome me as I approached.

I start screening episodes of Mr Bean within my skull. The Brainy Pulao instantly rescues me from the trouble I encounter in the queue. And the tension you know, is shifted to the next visit. How smart, isn’t that! I suppose readers would learn a lot today.

Through experiences, I’ve learned that boredom has no religion nor a special region. The peculiar thing is that it can para-shoot landing anywhere anytime. But who is a coward? I’m certainly not. I take it hand to hand fighting with the situation like what Mr Bean has mastered.
