This was a post written some time back. But, well, it sees the light of the day, that is, gets published, only now! Anyways, read on more about the idle-talk! ;)
Can you ever be Idle at work??
But if you are idle… how can you be at work??
The state of being idle implies lack of any constructive activity being executed. In other words, it implies being inoperative or at rest.
But alternately when you say at work…it implies being in the process of some activity.
An ‘ideal’ disconnect here??!! Huh??!!
Wait a sec! Idle??! And at Work??!! Like…at the same time??!! Okay. This author really needs to take some time off…and treat herself to an idle…err…ideal time off!! What’s with her penchant for antonymous words, haan??!!
As a famous adage goes : "An Idle mind is a Devil’s Workshop!"
Psst!..I think this blogger is really taking this adage seriously. Her thoughts are a Devilish jumble of antonymous words in perplexing connotations! Phew!!
…Ummm…What did I just say??!!
Okay, getting back to my reference to "An Idle mind is a Devil’s Workshop". To explain that further, idleness is a state of being devoid of any real, constructive activity being performed. Yet, this is a state when you are most likely to come up with something extraordinaire! This, in other words, is the time when you might be most prolific in your ideas!
In a state like this, thoughts formulate and take incredible shape, filling you up with the zeal to execute the thought-out act. Thus, in the event, it yanks you out from the idle, complacent state of being to a more generative state of being.

Very intriguing, ain't it?? Guess this should go as a friendly advice to all bosses around...when you see a particular subordinate 'idle', please don't be fooled! It is infact, in all probability, an 'idle' genius at work! ;) Ahem! Stand back and behold then, the 'Devil's' handiwork! (*Applause*, *Applause*) Heh!Heh!
Jokes apart, idleness is an attribute, that has unforunately been quite undermined, but nevertheless, a facilitator towards impending genius!!
Hmmnnn…quite interesting! So...being 'Idle…at Work'?! Not all that bad, eh??! ;)

Not at all !!! The more idle you are the more creative you become. Ask me :) ...I have been idle for 3 yrs now :)
@vinod: Hey! True indeed. The idleness quite often coaxes out the best creativity from inside you. So well... since you've been 'idle-ly' creative for the past 3 yrs., guess you'd be treating this as a blessing in disguise??! eh??!
