It was the time of 90s. There were no mobile, internet, so many TV channels or anything.
I was fond of books and I had lots of hobbies. So I had no time for boredom.
But for those who don't like to read or don't have many hobbies, how do they kill boredom if there is no mobile, internet, TV channels, no friend and no one to talk with?
Sp if you are in a new place like Sameer is with new kind of ppl with whom you are having adjustment problem what would you do?
I knew tayeejee kind of women they survive almost all sorts of places. I guess if she was with Dadi, she would manage here too.
But the problem is with teenagers. Because they can't do what tayeejee kind of woman do. At that time most of the girls were like Bhagyasree in MPK...start working wherever you go.
But change started from 90s. Not only boy teenagers, girl teenagers too started to change their behavior. Because kitchen or news paper couldn't kill our boredom anymore.
This is a question for today's generation means 2000s.
If you were in Sameer's position what would you do?
Write diary/ stories/ take a short course may be/painting or something else?

Gardening.. Sameer has a big and nice garden in the Delhi house and a rose plant to take care of. He could take up gardening.
He also likes to write to why not writing.

For me I dont remember being alone, since I have grown up in joint family. During summer vacation, we all cousins use to play throughout the day and sometimes even our friends for neighborhood use to join us. In afternoon , it would be cards, carrom, changa-astha or any board game.
Evening it use to be hide and seek or sitoliya and elder boys use to play galli cricket... Post dinner it use to be badminton.

Wow kya din the...😃😊😊

I go through dictionaries to learn new words or read books that I have read 1000 times😉
Wattpad is an addiction but you have asked not to mention anything that you do on gadgets
Sometimes to kill time I go swimming...
I do pencil sketching or water colour agar mood hai toh
I enjoy calligraphy especially when it involves unfamiliar language...

Mostly, I go for long walks and explore places near me that I have never payed attention to...sometimes cycle leke jaati hoon...

I play badminton, football or kho kho..friends ya cousins hai toh

Ab kuch bhi nahi hai toh, I take a nap 😆

If I was in Sameer's place..even I would hv gone out for roaming around everywhere possible..u know rulpatti😆
I always want someone to talk to..I'm a person who can't sit quietly or alone..I would've even talked to dadi maybe for hours
Or maybe I would've disturbed Rohan to a point where he would cry n complain to dadi about it😆

Good topic...seriously though we were from before 90s..these days so used to these gadgets mobiles especially and feel lucky that there were no mobiles...social media distractions those days...really it is an addiction. During those days I remember during summer vacations we children from our building used to go for morning walks...then again during afternoons play indoors maybe carrom...hide and seek in someone's houses...evening in our building compound and back home only in the night time...if we were at home non stop talking and chatting and now when you think about it actual bonding time...and go to visit friends and relatives places...Dad used to take all of us for movies in the theatres...Amitabh Bachchan movies were a must to watch in theatres...Mom used to prepare yummy eatables for us to munch..then we used to make papads and stuffs in our bldg terrace to be used throughout the year..as we grew up went to singing..dancing...stitching classes...wow...those were the days...simple and sweet and full of love, laughter, fun, bonding time. ❤️
