World as I Think

Suttrum Vizhi Suddare,
(Revolving light of eyes)
Suttrum Vizhi Suddarae,
(Revolving light of eyes)
Enn Idayam Unnai Suttruthae!!"
(My heart revolves around you)

This popular tune from the movie "Ghazini" which caught the murmurs of too many people last year was a serious loveburster to the listeners. The score was enchanting, voice-mellifluous, the choreography-elegant; a complete awesome combo inspiring love.

All the Tamil music channels had this number played humpty number of times and you could bet a billion dollar on the probability of finding it in a contemporary jukebox. I am not getting into a romantic groove now, even though I want to.

It must have been atleast three weeks when I was flipping the channels in our antiquated Solidaire TV. Sun Music played "Suttrum Vizhi..” I tuned to "K TV" they played it," I changed to SS Music , they played it, I even tried DD, they played it.. I could never imagine the conditional possibility of such a cascaded event. Its not that I didn't like the song, I still love it, but I could not take the over exposure.

Now days, I have even started an anti-campaign again this song, I just got to understand how I have built a wall around myself to a stimuli which used to inspire me. It happened out of sheer monotony, I have started abstaining myself from an erstwhile positive stimuli.

Its not only this; I find this phenomenon with many things. I enjoyed my current project for the first six months and I am now struck with authentic boredom, as I am left with very little marginal learning.

When we are struck with boredom, it may mean two things, one may be that, the existing stimuli does not give a new experience to us or the stimuli gives an experience which isn't desirable. This may be because we have been exposed to an alternative stimulus which is more exciting than the current one or the current stimuli cannot be allowed to persist of various reasons.

Now, what is the way out? May be we can try different means to achieve the same purpose which may rejenuate some interest.The other way out could be to comfortably move towards a different end. I even tried this, I was literally bored traveling to my office by auto via the same route. I suddenly broke it by walking one day, I tried the bus next day, I walked and caught a bus another day, I started playing with departure/arrival times. Even that uncertainty caused monotony and i am now trying the erstwhile method.

I only understood one thing "Its cycle and new experiences which entertain life"
