Boredom and Relationships

Many times we have seen people saying, and even I say life is so boring. This is such a commonly and casually used term these days especially by the people of our age group. Have we really ever thought why it is so? Quite a heavy topic to write on isn’t it?

In our life the so called enthusiasm or happening factor is so short. This is one of human nature to overcome things easily and get bored. There are different kinds of boredom we face like with games, social networking (if we don’t make new friends), chatting, bikes, job etc. Similarly in our relations also once a time come when it is settled like marriage, whether love or arranged boredom slowly enters in life. Until one is married some kind of excitement is there to talk or to meet but soon after marriage or after some years of relations why we feel that something, that liveliness is missing. In present scenario couples even get bored after 1 or 2 years of their relation and to add vigour they search for other people just to add some thrill in life. This is a very common human psychology that whenever we get something (to which we desperately look forward to) we are over it. It is clear then that relations are today sought as an achievement and based on materialism and needs. I don’t know mean to say that it is something off beam but there is definitely something strange about it. I am saying this on the basis of complaints heard from girls and boys about the short age of their relationships has shorten a lot that’s because we take relation materialistically like any other thing in life. I feel very sad when I hear versions of couple that they do not talk much and do not enjoy in each other’s company after their marriage or after being in relation for a particular time irrespective of the fact that it is the same person whom you always wanted to be yours.
We all know that the most important (personal experience) factor of any relationship is friendship between the two. No partner should change after being in a relationship, off course a relation has its own demand but don’t change that you appear a different person with whom the other established the relation. After four years of my marriage it’s not that I don’t feel monotonous and boring sometimes with the same pattern of life but that’s how it is! and that’s what I wanted. Then I see my life whether actually I need to cry over something, is there really an issue or again my human tendency needs some fuel to be tensed, then I recall the time that how I wanted to be with my beloved who is now my companion. This is life….it is never perfect and so we are perfect with our imperfections.
No relationship, no person, no achievement can give us ultimate satisfaction and we will get bored of it sooner or later and if we are satisfied then not because of what we have but because we are not running considering life a race. Ultimate satisfaction can only be achieved through spirituality. …………..

ELECTRICITY: without this word life is unimaginable today it is our basic need but again I would say my favorite line that POPULATION INCREASE is affecting this also.
In India the setup we have for the supply of electricity is age old, approx more than 50 years and it is causing more wastage of electricity. Present arrangement is based on 440 W polls system for the supply i.e. these polls uses 440 W current to supply of electricity to houses etc. But now we have new technology where only 220 W electricity is used for supply purpose which means almost 50% of energy is saved. This system needs an urgent attention for a change because that may save our resource.
All this can be done with a sound strategy and off course by a private organization. One by one cities should be covered, this will cause inconvenience but it is also caused when roads are constructed or any development work takes place. Central government is releasing money for development works in States so it has to consider New Technology Electricity System also. And we people will try to contribute to the money if it is made sure that this new setup will definitely come soon. Though that whole process is very expensive and will require huge expenditure and may be this is why even after such a need government is not able to execute it. To even think about changing present system is very difficult because government always claims that they do not have money but they do have money… we all know government has money.

Let me give an example: 1n 2009 Bhopal department of Municipal Corporation and Public Welfare Department (PWD) was allotted money in crores which they could not finish! Can we believe this? THEY COULD NOT FINISH IT ! And that money has gone over and this is a fact just about Bhopal. One or two days back I came to see an article in local newspaper about the use of solar energy equipments for making electricity and other daily uses. I am very happy that finally government is realizing the significance of solar energy as now reasonable amount as subsidy is also provided on these equipments though still it is expensive to afford those solar equipments. If government would have wanted then in all these years there had been so much electricity from solar energy because India is immensely blessed with solar energy. We all know that no system can fulfill the required demand of present population but management of available resources is equally important as it assures proper utilization of it. We are already distressed of shortage of electricity and soon there would increase in prices of electricity very shortly in MP which is a bad news. I know being “people” some might feel that it is easy to pen down things and give suggestion to government but I know the magnitude of what I am saying, it is a task to even think of changing any new system in such densely populated country.
