When one doesn’t have any activity to do and doesn’t know or understand what to do, he is in the worst feelings in the world. A position where in one has time but nothing constructive to do to while that time out. To overcome this period, people have come up with ideas like listening to music, or reading novels or books, watching favourite, recorded programmes etc. But all of this give excitement for sometime only, then they tend to be boredom as they would have been repeated so many times.
