Optimum Use of Leisure

There is a book called "I would rather be reading" by Anne Bogel, in which the author prioritises reading as the preferred leisure time activity. Similarly, there may be a few whose preferred leisure time activity is listening to classical music. But sadly, especially in our country, these are a miniscule minority.

Most people, when they find "disposable time" (or even when they don't!) rush off to the nearest theatre to watch the latest block-buster film. Once there, they only absorb the stars acting & the story paying scant or no attention to how the director has developed the film, where the camera is placed & why, what colours are used in the clothes & sets, how the background music comes in before the scene & the innumerable other things that go to make a film.

It is really sad to see this frittering away of irrevocable time in our finite lives ignoring the best that culture has in offer & running after tawdry things. And now about the common use of the ubiquitous smartphones, the less said the better. Even the busiest person will have some "disposable time". It is up to them to realise the invaluable & irrevocable nature of it & invest it in the best way humanly possible & make their lives really worthwhile.
