me to a slumber, so deep. Pratyusha Dasgupta UNIT- PROSE Boredom The World Is Too Much with Us The world is too much with us; late and soon, Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers; Little we see in Nature that is ours; We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon! This Sea that bares her bosom to the moon, The winds that will be howling at all hours, And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers, UNIT- POEM We have all experienced boredom sometime or the other. Boredom occurs when a person is unable to stay attentive.

It is something more than an unpleasant feeling. It can make you angry and frustrated and lead to negative physical health consequences. How boredom affects one physically A study reveals that when a person is affected by acute boredom his eyelids droop and the face assumes a frown. There is a gradual loss of ability to coordinate movements.

These symptoms are accompanied by mental fatigue and a slowing down of thought processes. A bored person at work is likely to make many more errors than one who is not bored. We should never let boredom take charge. There are several easy ways to overcome boredom.

Here are a few practical suggestions   Set goals for yourself, work towards them.   Develop an interest in hobbies and crafts.   Socialize, stay in the company of cheerful people.   Take up a charitable cause.

  Exercise regularly. Coming out of boredom will feel like breaking free from a cold, dark room into the outdoors on a warm, sunny day. 12th - - Page For this, for everything, we are out of tune; It moves us not. --Great God!

William Wordsworth. UNIT- PROSE What were the reasons for our success? There are many answers
