alone but not lonely



m a regular reader of Times Life supplement. tats the only piece of the newspaper i don miss. its ma sunday read.

there was this article on it about loneliness... this article might sound similar to the article in Times, cos i very much support wats written in it.

at some point of time or other in our lives, we all experience loneliness.... for some its temporary, but fr a few others its smtin they hav to live with. Like some people are meant to be alone.


being alone is not being depressed. its more like being with urself, in ur comfort zone. n when u carry this with u, u r alone even in a crowd.

Aloneness is a state of being. You may be alone and yet not lonely. you can be comfortable n positive with ur aloneness, bt a glint of negativity is wat turns it into loneliness... which then is a state of mind.

loneliness is strange feeling of detachment from those around you, wher you float away from a situation an almost seem an outsider looking in.

u may be sitting with ur frens, n suddenly u sense u dont quite belong there, filled with a discomfort and an urge to move out from there, ur mind races into realms of semi-reality... u r playing a game but u arent wholly in it. u r listenin, the words hit your ears as familiar, yet they cant penetrate in. You hav finally found ur space, when somebody brings u down to the chaos around u....

theres smtin called intellectual loneliness ( it made pretty happy abt my melancholy)
a strange yearning, a thirst for something you cant figure out. wat the article spoke was to move up from loneliness to "love of solitude" thats when u begin, making positive use of ur aloneness..

from birth man is taught to be a social being, and yet evrywher he craves for space. Space to breathe, to live, to learn,...to exist. this fight for space is wat later leads to conflicts.

Alone people carry their space with them.

अजुन माझे चुकले - माकले शब्द तुला टोचत असतील सावलीमध्ये कधी चुकून क्षण ओले भिजवत असतील पाउस म्हणून , वेड्या मनाची समजूत ही , तू घालत असशील मी नसले तरी कधी , चोरून, स्वप्न माझी पाहत असशील नसेन मी , पण हरवलेली प्रीत माझी खरी आहे एक डाव फसला , म्हणून आयुष्यभराची दूरी आहे

Trade-off

Trade-offs. used this term a couple o times couple o places. Dint think i d b using it in lifE as such. There's always a trade-off , between what's in your hand at right now, and what u wanna hold. Between what u can do, and what u wanna do. Between ur heart and ur head. Should there be? if we are a single entity, should what we feel be different from what we live? shouldn't life be bound by one philosophy, a single thought that runs through you, and reflects in everything that you do? Should there be a trade-off between being happy and making someone happy? Shouldn't it be the same? i can't understand compromises. I cant understand giving up something for something else. There cant be something less and something more... its either something o nothing. i cant understand why we sometimes fake ourselves. or we drift to believe that we are something else. why is inactivity so elusive? What can be achieved from endless conversations tat lead nowhere, head nowhere? Why ...

smoke off yer life

Its been some time since my last post…..but I was preoccupied with other matters… Back to ma writin What is the difference between addiction n habit…if any!! The first thing that I turned to for an answer was a dictionary! In the GREAT DICTIONARY (no adjective, the dictionary I refer is itself called the GREAT DICTIONARY…nt oxford, m a bit unorthodox) i found this: ADDICTED is defined as being physically dependant on a certain thing, or, being devoted to a particular interest or activity HABIT was defined as a settled or regular tendency or practice!! This may sound drab, n my reader may wonder what I am heading to, but I have a point to make, n I hope you bear up wid me The definitions above are not complete, what about mental dependence? I come to the crux of the matter now!! SMOKING: is it an addiction or a habit? its not supposed to make u mentally dependent...but then ppl do behave lyk they r aft some tym...lyk i need a cig to think, to relieve ma tension!!...
