When there was only Doordarshan (DD) in India offering TV broadcasting services, I used to even watch and enjoy agricultural programmes (‘vayalum valvum’ in Tamil).   Today, though there are several channels, I don’t enjoy TV as much I did in my childhood.

I still remember that we watched 5 to 6 movie songs on Fridays in ‘Oliyum Oliyum’ programme (in Hindi, it was ‘Chitrahaar’).   Today there are several music channels which I come across only while scrolling up and down in my remote to watch some other channel.   I don’t have the patience to watch even one song in TV.

I was wondering why I changed.  I guess the answer is “too much is too boring”.

When I was in my regular job, my monthly income exceeded my  monthly  expenses by at least 7 to 10 times.  It means, I was able to  buy anything at anytime.  Today, since I’m having my own company and expenses are more than income, I don’t have the same luxury of buying anything I need at anytime.   But the most amazing thing is, even if I spend one penny today, the joy is very high compared to what I used to feel during my regular job days.

This made me realize one thing: “If you have too much of anything, you may not enjoy it fully and vice versa. “
