I was reading other blogs today. In one of the blogs by a guy called Anant Jain, he had written about the television. He used to be a couch potato it seems and now when he went to work and had to stay in another city with a couple of guys without a television to entertain him, he found that he had lot of time to do things that he had forgotten. Like meeting up friends, reading, etc.

Well, it is definitely a fact. You stop watching television and you suddenly have so much time in your hands that you start entertaining yourself. Guru and I used to (and still think) discuss this when we got married. The TV in our family was always on with some stupid program running, mostly mega soaps which I avoid like plague. I used to crib so much that I was not able to watch anything that I want, because always somebody had something to watch on the TV. But then I got used to it and then it was like I had so much of time in my hands. I started doing so many things like painting, reading, trying out new cuisine, spending more time with Guru etc.

Now that the CAS has been implemented in Chennai, I don’t watch television much at all. Good for me, I guess.
