Infinite time, finite resources: How to spend the vacation.

Image
By
The vacation has started for most of us. And will start for many. I, myself, am having a tough time figuring out what to do. There is just too must leisure time, isn't there? And we all know: too much of anything is bad. Here is a list of suggestions of how to spend your time.

1.Hook yourself up with TV shows- This is, according to me, and I know many would agree, the best possible way to kill your time. Try to manage the complete seasons of TV shows. Okay, not ONLY complete series, collect ALL the seasons of the show. I can guarantee, once you get hooked, you will find time rocketing through. The TV shows that I find intriguing,enjoyable,lovable and ultimate time killers are:

*PSYCH(4 seasons)-Comedy and thriller
*Band of Brothers-War,Drama.
*The Pacific-War,Drama.
*Bones-Thriller.
*Two and a Half Men-Comedy
*Castle-Thriller
*Warehouse 13-Fantasy,Thriller.
*And of course, FRIENDS-comedy.

There are many more which are shrouded in my head. How will you get the shows? Well, I don't know.I am only giving the advices.The Pacific is telecasted in HBO(Sunday,1130 BD time).Castle and FRIENDS are telecasted in Star Worlds(Monday to Thursday,930 to 10 and 10 30 to 11 30 respectively.)

2. Write something- I know people are going to be calling names after reading this subtitle, but trust me, writing will bring some peace and will , undoubtedly, exhaust some time. Take your time to write your diaries or journals. Even better, open a blog. Then people like me can spend some time reading them too.

3.Outdoor Sports- Remove all shackles that bind you to the four walls and sprint out to Mother Nature! This will help you in many levels: burn all those useless fluffy fats in your body, intensify your sleep, boost up your stamina and strength, and of course, kill time which you really want!

4.Go to the library- This is enormously helpful when the load shedding starts and you are bored, as the power to the TV and your PC just got slashed. Go to the library, enjoy the air conditioner, and read something.It does not necessarily have to be a book.Just pick up the latest Reader's Digest or Rolling Stone issue, and delve into another world.If you want a name of a place,I go to the American Centre Library,in Banani

5.Gaming- Now this is my personal favorite. Get on online gaming in your nearest game zone and start shooting the hell out of everything.You can try the latest games in your PC or any gaming portal.I would recommend: Assassin's Creed 2, Prince of Persia:The Forgotten Sands, Dragon Age,FEAR 2, Bioshock, FiFa 2010, PES 2010.

6.To Do List- Before going to bed, try to make a to do list.This will help you to manage your time, give you HOPE that there ARE things to do, make you more sleepy before you go to bed, and kill some time while doing it.

I think you can spend a couple of months doing these stuffs.Enjoy the vacation. And if any one the seasons of the above mentioned TV series, please make me a creditor by giving them to me( of course I will return them!).

    I guess it falls under Go to Library Section but I figured out that not many people love reading books.I will give Agatha a try after I finish Hakan' Nesser's The Mind's Eye. If u can, try reading David Baldacci's Stone Cold! Its the second BEST Secret Service novel after The Bourne Series.

Bermuda Triangle: The Devil's Lair

By
Many people argue, that it doesn't exist. And, you won't find it in any map.The U. S. Board of Geographic Names does not recognize the Bermuda Triangle and does not maintain an official file on it. However, within this imaginary area, many real vessels and the people aboard them have seemingly disappeared without explanation. The Bermuda Triangle is located off the Southeastern coast of the United States in the Atlantic Ocean, with its apexes in the vicinities of Bermuda, Miami, Florida, and San Juan, Puerto Rico. It covers roughly 500,000 square miles. The main mystery surrounding the Devils Lair is of unusual and unsolved disappearances o f many ships and planes.According to Llyod's of London reported 428 missing vessels throughout the world between 1955 and 1975.But, the report only contained huge vessels which were insured.Gian J. Quasar, author of "Into the Bermuda Triangle: Pursuing the Truth Behind the World's Greatest Mystery" , later found out 300 mis...

Criss Angel Mindfreak: The Wizard of AXN

By
I'm pretty sure most of us is familiar with Criss Angel, and with good reasons.He is an American illusionist,magician, escapologist and stunt performer. Note that I wrote illusionist first, cause that's what Criss likes to think of himself. His show, Criss Angel Mindfreak, is broad casted on AXN on Wednesdays, at 16:30 GMT. Believe me, his illusions are mindblowing, and apparently impossible! But that's what Criss is best at;making the impossible seem normal! Allow me to give an example. Criss Angel has set himself the target of walking across Lake Mead,the largest lake in US. And he does succeed.He walks on water for about 200 yards.Now, remember people, its a lake.So it rules put any theories of plexiglass pillars.Moreover, Criss, at the end of his walk, start to sink under the water, eventually disappearing completely! The illusion is simply awesome, and many critics have failed to provide an explanation for this! One explanation says " He had completed construction...

Dream or Reality: Which one should we chase?

By
Dreams and reality are like the Yin-Yang. Opposite, but intertwined. You will find them mutually inclusive in extreme rare cases of extremely fortunate people. But, for normal people like us, we have to sacrifice one to get the other. Why, you ask? Picture your dream; where do you see yourself? Relaxing in a beach in the Bahamas with a cold drink in hand, with the gentle breeze caressing your tanned fit body? Now imagine the cost of such a vacation and all the other horrendous logistics that go with such a vacation. You get what I’m getting at? So, which one should we give more priority to? Should we open our mind gates and dream the wildest of our dreams? Or should we force our brain to be calculative and practical? After all, be practical and rational will pay your bills. Being an IBAite, I can give a firsthand run down of my experience regarding this issue. Let me start saying that I’m a science person. From a very tender age, I dreamt of wearing a dazzling white lab...
