Photo of the day - Solitude

At the peak of solitude
Recently when I went for a photoshoot in the outskirts of Bangalore, I came across a lady, who was sitting along side the lake; I thought she must be with her boy friend or there must be some family; but I was wrong. She sat there all alone, not with iPod or mobile phone around her ears. She just appeared to have gone out to enjoy being isolated from the materialistic world.

We all live in a world called as "influencing world". What we have done so far or what we decide to do, most of them, are influenced by various things around us like family, friends, or situation etc. Have you ever thought of what you really want? When was the last time you spent time with yourself? Have you ever enjoyed talking to yourself? 

All through life we give so much time to others but a very little for ourselves. Solitude, sometimes can be rejuvenating for the mind and body. It is not loneliness but a self-imposed disconnect from the society. It will unveil the true self. Be a good company to yourself, and go to the peak of solitude to explore the unexplored.

  1. I dont no what to tell. I studied in Amrita Vidyapeeth in Coimbatore. A college near to a mountain and is of nature's best place. We used to tell it should be a tourist spot rather than university. When free times used to go out, sit in some corner and enjoyed the beauty of nature. I always wanted to spend sometime for me, all alone. I love loneliness, just as you told it will give us time to look at our self. These days i got a new house away from city pollution. Once i m back from office i spend sometime in terrace just to enjoy the cold wind all alone and to think! It is an amazing feeling. Really good to see the blog.

    Prob i will write a blog with same topic with what i felt about Solitude too :)
