A Dull Life? I Don't Believe It.

 
Recently I told our friend rummuser I would like to know more about him. I asked if he could send some pictures or else tell us about his daily life.

This was his response:

My everyday life is incredibly dull. It is mostly, extending care for my father and son, solving four to five cross word puzzles, reading four newspapers, lots of books, evening outing to the local joggers’ park and meeting up with my friends there, blogging in the evenings and sometimes in the mornings too, as I am just now doing as I came to send an email and got involved in incoming ones too. In between, I get phone calls from my principals and customers of the small agency that I run by phone from home.

Except for the evening outing and phone calls that I receive from my family and friends, I tend to prefer just being alone with myself and my reading material. I listen to satellite radio simultaneously and depending on my mood listen to Indian classical music, Country and Western, Blues and some modern jazz. I often listen to old Indian film songs as also old English songs.

I have simplified my life to the extent that I hardly need to leave our home and since my friends and family know that, I get a lot of visitors. My life line is my computer and telephone and with very little wants in my life, it is quite a nice and comfortable life that I have made for myself.

Life is however evolving, and I have just accepted two invitations for outings. One today for lunch with an alumnus to investigate prospects of my doing some backroom work for local politics, and the other for high tea tomorrow with some dear friends who are convinced that I need some feminine company now that I am back to being single! I did not have the heart to say no to either and shall do both knowing fully well, that I will simply return to my original way of living.

I shall send you some photographs, and even post some on my blog. I just need some time to get myself organized a bit more.

Trust that this gives you some insight into my very exciting life! Thanks for wanting to know.

The next day he added,

In my earlier mail to you, I had omitted two vital pieces of information. I meditate every morning for about an hour and also perform Yogasanas for about 45 minutes every morning.

These two activities, I am convinced are responsible for keeping me sane and reasonably fit to live my ‘incredibly dull daily life’!

Thank you, rummuser…I love hearing how people spend their time. But I’m sorry 😉 , you haven’t convinced me. That doesn’t sound dull to me…it sounds rich and fulfilling. What does everyone else think?

What are your daily lives like? How would you describe them?
