Since I travel for a minimum of an hour to work daily in the morning, I started making it a habit to read in the bus. Frankly I am not an avid reader. I tried my hand at it but dint continue with a lot of interest. Then I came across this one Book by ‘Jim Corbett’ in a library and just picked it up. Well I was completely into reading the book. This was the first time I was reading a book with so much interest. The I picked up a few more books for myself and stated reading.
Now coming back to my bus journey to office, I dint have many books to read so I read the books I had already read. It was good to read those wonderful books of my collection. I have to admit, I had a small collection!!!!
I recently added that collection with five more books. It feels great to have some new books and read them numerous times over. :):):)

Coming back to an Unknown Place
I was just relaxing this weekend and wondering what to do. This is something I am coming to experience more frequently in the recent times.
I have since childhood lived in the same locality and since ours is in a defense township you would know most of the families around you. The after my 12th Std I went out of the city to study my graduation and then when I started working I again was not working from my own city.
OK!!!! I had a lot of fun staying outside!!! I also learnt lot of things about being independent and understanding myself and learning from the people around me. The I got fed up of living outside and took a transfer back to my home town. I was on top of the world when I came back to my home.
I took some time to relax and get over all the excitement and dint feel that much has changed. The suddenly those boring weekends after the grueling traffic and work craved for some excitement and adventure in me. Then when I wanted to move out to experience my city again I noticed that I do not know anyone around me. All the People who used to be there were gone. The Streets had quite different looks and the traffic was considered the deciding factor for going out of home. A lot of things had changed in the Five and a Half Years I had been out.
It was a very strange feeling where I felt I had again shifted to a very new and unknown place. I felt it is time again to get adapted to it and explore the place, but only this time the exploring would be at the cost of some precious time on the road. The more I think of this unknown place and try to avoid the road with a lot of traffic the more I keep wondering as to what to do to overcome boredom.
I wonder how many people have come across such a feeling??????
