Boredom is on the guestlist

“The road from effort to effortless makes through the tunnel of boredom. Only some bore it well” What is Boredom?   At the biochemical level, the body has a reward-punishment mechanism. Upon the emergence of a thought or feeling or action that are in certain zones, the body generates these chemicals. However when the person isn’t challenged or things become super-predictable, there are tendencies developed inside of us that give rise to feeling of boredom. It’s a feeling where the sub-conscious sends a message to cognitive function that its not able apply itself in meaningful manner. “Vritti pravaha iti manaha” is a Sanskrit saying which when looked deeply signifies the tendency of the mind to be in constant flow.

Peter Sange :   "My intuition is that India and China will move somewhat together but in very distinctive ways. But I think the thing that will be really common to both of them will be the fact that they won’t be able to do this without reconnecting to their heritage.

Of course the last hundred and fifty years, the industrial consumer oriented development has made things very much worse." Y asuhik...
