#boredpoetry Try getting a team to work together. Someone dislikes someone’s attitude, another wants a smoke break, another must have lunch at 11.30 am, and five can only work from home. #ants #zoom #wfh #work #office
#boredpoetry Language is one of the few crimes openly committed in daylight. Writers borrow, bend, stretch, rearrange, and occasionally assault perfectly innocent words in pursuit of something memorable. #writing #words #language #sweet #honey
#boredpoetry Some energies are endless. Wind, sunlight, kindness, laughter, and the occasional smile passed from one human being to another. It blows my mind that all of them are utterly renewable. #smile #energy #renewable #life #endless
#boredpoetry We answer simple questions very badly. Ask about colour and the mind wanders into kitchens, weather, old houses, sounds, smells, and long evenings standing near a stove. #food #colour #kitchen #nose #onions
#boredpoetry I am currently discovering how it feels to live like a true ad person. One of my eyes sees brilliantly, and the other quite the opposite. My face is behaving like two different decades sharing the same address. #eyes #life #advertising #cataract #surgery
#boredpoetry The older people grow, the more roots begin to matter. I have seen people rise in money, fame, power, and altitude while drifting away from warmth and ordinary human gravity. #life #people #earth #stars #rise
#boredpoetry We rarely return from anywhere completely. A little sand stays in the shoes, and part of the mind keeps looking back at waves. Not to mention some unwanted enthusiasm. #monday #holiday #life #beach #enthusiasm
#boredpoetry I admire how offices have evolved entire ecosystems of survival. Some create, some decide, some delay, some circulate documents, and a gifted few somehow convert movement into career progression. #office #emails #work #corporate #forwarding
#boredpoetry We have built astonishingly detailed rules around food. Entire moral systems now depend on which vessel was used, what it touched, and even who was standing nearby when it simmered. #food #curry #sambhar #keralam #fish
#boredpoetry Evenings arrive carrying old frequencies. Light dims in a familiar way, silence sits down beside you, and for a brief moment, the past behaves like it never really left. #time #memory #cafe #light #love
#boredpoetry Evenings at home are crazy. Load shedding is still a thing here. When they pull the fuse for an hour, we get romantic. Well, almost. Then the humidity arrives and the skin begins to drip. #keralam #sweat #dinner #night #candles
#boredpoetry For some, glasses refill themselves, doors always stay open, and money is never counted. The rest of us learn the value of things by running out of them. #life #privilege #truth #people #silverspoon
