At some point or the other in our lives, we have all battled with a bout of loneliness. It can range from a fleeting feeling to a depressing, debilitating state of being.
It’s important to learn how to tackle loneliness – especially in an age where we are constantly connected digitally, but not physically – and get to happiness that much quicker. Counselors tell us to socialize with more people, take up a hobby, go and party etc.
Each person can use his own remedy, for some it can be music, or other hobbies to dispel the loneliness, for me it is curling up with a book, or going on a long drive on my motor bike; with the roar drowning the deafening cacophony of the world, while the headlights cut the darkness into ribbons in a therapeutic light.
Sometimes the ride can end up in a smoky under lit Bombay bar, where it is always half past midnight. It is a cathartic experience, sipping the amber liquid, and the loneliness evaporates in the swirling haze of tobacco and marijuana smoke that envelopes you in its warm comfort. --Vinay-
