Rendezvous with boredom

How boring is boring?? Or, rather...how boring can boring be?? Guess both questions are the same thing differently phrased. Then why have i typed both of them in this seemingly unwanted and unyielding exrecise to my fingers running across the electronic device used to input such useless blogs into the computer, the keyboard? The answer to this question can be summarised thus: The boring mind is completely aimless and does everything it sees as something to waste, or while away time with. I'm bored, so i'm blogging about boring, and maybe this blog is also boring. Boring, boring, boring. You browse the net for a while, after which it becomes boring. You listen to music, or watch TV for while, maybe more than just awhile, after which it too inevitably becomes boring. I'm bound to get bored after typing a few paragraphs about how boring boring is. Is there a difference between you being bored of something and something boring you?
I'm now bored of thinking something up to write in this post. So i shall stop boring you with nothing other than boring. Bye.

The internet in India

That the internet is so rapidly growing is evident from the innumerable headlines that cyber-crimes, copyright infringement, Web 2.0, social networking websites and the like are making in both print editions and the online versions of newspapers, or should i say ... e-papers?? Well, that term itself is debateable because paper is strictly something solid you can write on, not a html or php or whatever file you can read from and not scribble on or use to wrap something up in an emergency(other uses include being something you can spill your morning coffee on). India, we should accept is a bit...er no far behind the west and some other parts of the globe in adapting to this internet-revolutionised world, that which can be inferred from the following things we, as Indians, would most grudgingly accept : : As of now the present upper limit of broadband speeds in homes is 512kbps, a mere fraction of the speeds offered in other countries(remember the way your jaws dropped open when your friend in the US told you about his connection speed and his monthly download limit??); Individual blogs are not yet being sued for lifting articled from online magazines(though that might be because not many people really care to read blogs, let alone take them seriously, or perhaps because of a deep distrust in the Indian judiciary, or the fact that most of our constitution is fifty years behind time and needs a whole lot of amendments in line woth the presently, and very magnanimously changing world); For the rare few who own an ipod, paying 99 cents for downloading a single song onto their player is so funny they ridicule the people of other countries who do so as being ignorant of those 'free download' sites; Our law-makers - the er.. 'respectable' members of the parliament and the ministers are totally internet-illiterate; We do not want to pay for anything that we download from the internet, the same way we are totally and blissfully ignorant of internet-shopping ........ To list a few. I'm not going to say anything about how all this can be changed ... I don't know, or rather, I'm not bothered .. By the way its time for me to check on my torrent client downloading the latest movies free illegally ... so bye.
