Bored to the core by job hunting for almost 3 months…gawd!! never knew sitting idle was so tough. I picked up a couple of fiction books from the neighborhood library. To my strange surprise I couldn’t move beyond 20 pages in one of the books which was once my hot favorite author. I realized I have outgrown lot of things in this transition of so many years now..especially after being in the USA myself.May be it’s the people I was associated with, Or is it by the proverb “ Too much of anything is good for nothing”..
.My closest people do know how lousy I take care of myself…but I do realize that there had been a subconscious learning inside me. Things I liked the most seem to be trivial to me anymore. Everything changes in a span of time and it is natural to happen..but these are the small things where you notice the difference in yourself and that is when you feel that things are changing. On the other hand I have also started liking lot of other things which I used to loathe.. ..I suppose this is what learned people call it “Growing”!..Or should I say.."Iam old"..no dont want to go there..:)

maybe just 'rediscovering'...which never ends?
@lost in trance
yea one of the apt words...
its rather the subtlety of the change of interest that iam amazed it more than the change itself

Bhooma: You have raised a good point. I had a casual discussion with one of my colleagues at work. He mentioned that if you want to understand how much your mental faculties has developed or undermined, re-read a book after several years. -JP
