काफिला साथ और सफर तनहा.
अपने साये से चौंक जाते हैं,
उम्र गुजरी है इस कदर तनहा.
रात भर बोलते हैं सन्नाटे,
रात काटे कोई किधर तनहा.
दिन गुजरता नहीं है लोगों में,
रात होती नहीं बसर तनहा.
हमने दरवाजे तक तो देखा था,
फिर न जाने गए किधर तनहा.

Friends,
I have very strange & stupid question for you. Actually loneliness sometimes makes you crazy. It was hot afternoon and I was going to rig. My car was passing through a city. There is no one out there as it’s very hot. City looks like a city of dead. You feel as if you are alone in a city. This feeling evoked a very interesting & difficult question in my mind. Had I been all alone on this earth planet, what would have been my aim of life? You are all alone on planet. There is no human or other species there. What would have been your aim of life?
I found very difficult to answer, but it’s very interesting to imagine that you are all alone and wondering even for aim. And then you realize that how easy it is to decide when void spaces are filled with other humans and a society. You have a different aim when you are all alone and then you have altogether different aim when you live with other people in a society.
What would have been your aim buddy if you had been all alone on this planet?

Interesting observation.....Infact all of us should ask ourselves this question.
I think a majority of decisions we make and the way we live our life is governed by people around us. We worry a lot about people's perception about us.
Infact if I am left all alone in this planet...I think it is only then will I be able to discover my true self!!
Watch 'vanilla sky' or may be 'i am the legend'.
Collective aim or individual aim or whatever, things become reality only when there is another person to approve of, and appreciate/negate that aim. With people around us, our global unconsc. really takes a leap and burdens us with global(however restricted the word may be) issues.
too much of metaphysics no?

Well its realy difficult to tell if you are all alone since your birth. Aims, ambitions, desires, as we collectively define today, are not independent entities. They are heavily dependent what you see, what you feel, and above all what from you derive your pleasure.
People talk of finding true self, self actualization and all kinds of heavy metaphysical words only after having a feel of everything that can be classified as physical. When your are all alone even the very definition physics will change, i guess.
So the answer to this question in my perception is as indeterminate as it is to 1/0.

More than stupid it sounds funny Q to me :))))) but can't even think of being alone at home u leave about the whole planet n incase u hv any experience i would like u too share with us :))
Rashmi...that's just me & my stupidity. As I said lonliness can make u crazy sometimes. That question evoked from there only.
I dont have an answer and I am askig u creative people. That's it.
Even I cant think of living alone that too in whole world?? No ways...But yes If you start living alone you get the opportunity to know yourself in spiritual ways.
Anyways, may be my aim would be to search for the other person in whole world to whom i can chat(ofcourse If I would be a girl) because human is the social animal.
Jesus Christ....Girls dont have any other aim except chattering. If she will come all alone, she will find someone to chatter incessantly. This is too much.
Sir question you have asked its very difficult to answer...actually I cant...In movies people had hope...they fight back..what you have asked it is confusing...
I look in different ways....but for me alone is having two different meanings
1. I m "Feeling" alone
2. I m "living" alone
"feeling alone" and "being alone" are different things...they have big difference...
1. Feeling Alone
Whenever I felt that “I am alone”....its means “I am lost”. In this situation everything seems like a useless “crap”…now “Aim” is like finding “my existence on this planet”.
Mind it sir… “Existence” just think how regrettable it is….
2. Being alone
being alone is like doing meditation...exploring yourself...in this situation everything is clear and sharp...I can imagine my future specially my "Aim".
Well, I wouldn't like to live without women in this world. Imagine of not able to make Love. I cant dare to. Sorry Brother.
i agree with nitish...loneliness is too difficult to define but u defined it so nicely and in a simple way.
Friends,
By mistake Aditya has put his comment on previous blog. I m putting here for him.

There have been many instances in our life when we are all alone, felt like isolated from the rest of the world. I think the feeling of loneliness and the ‘world’ is somewhat interrelated. We can not be alone if we had never lived in a world, flourishing with human civilizations. But the next question comes to my mind, - Is it that we need only humans to fill the void spaces? Can’t we have some other living beings (a pet dog for example) to fill that void space?
As per me I think that filling the voids with humans, decreases the scope of having good/appreciable permeability in our life, although we might be happy to have good enough porosity in the bulk. Iam very sorry that Iam using these geology/petroleum terminologies, which might be out of scope for some readers, but I can’t help. May be Iam so adamant to use these words, because rite now Iam myself feeling so alone….I just don’t care…!!!!!
Well, how do you actually define loneliness….and then your AIM !!! I think that most of the times we think of any aim, because we think that our peers are thinking of or have their aim, which is a good one…!!! ( too many thinks !!)
Sometimes, this question also remind me of a hindi movie ‘ Tare Zameen Par’. It a movie about a dyslexic 8 year old boy, whose parents blame him for not studying, and all of sudden he finds himself all alone in a boarding school, horribly depressed with a shattered …self confidence…He was left all alone in his life, his parents were also not able to understand him. What aim could he have in his life..??
According to me, in this situation I would not be in a condition to think of my aim. Totally adamant, frustrated, depressed…to set any aim. The world without any living being but me…would be almost the same situation as with that boy.
I have an aim, because having that aim and striving to achieve that aim makes me happy. But this happiness is of a secondary level, the primary ones; I get from the people surrounding me, the world around me, and the environment around me. Until and unless I have this primary level of happiness, I don’t think I will strive for my secondary happiness.
Although my comment about this question might seem to be very confusing, but it reflects nothing but the state of my mind, which has gone into a state of virtual comma, about thinking/ imagining of a situation like this.

Nice Situation to imagine. Being a party animal, I was frightened for a while in imagining a situation like that. I won’t call it a life it will be mere a ‘situation of existence’. But, the good thing is that my aim would have been still remained the same as it is today.
To convert every moment of my ‘existence’ in to moments of ‘life’ where ever I am, in any situation I am and whoever is there in the vicinity of my circle. Means may vary from one situation to another.
Arz hai:
“ Hum Diwano kee kya hasti, aaj yaha kal waha chale,
Masti ka aalam saath chlaa, hum dhul udaate jaha chale”
One helluve of an observation Sabu ji!!!! But let me be very true(hope i won't sound insanely PHILOSOPHICAL), we all are loner in one sense or the other. I don't ....infact, i can't imagine this situation. Because in many ways, in umpteen situations i had felt all alone, not being able to share my feelings, my true thoughts, my bare naked words to anybody, simply ANYBODY. At that moment, i was all alone, all by myself, desperately looking for somebody who could soothen out my nerves, my anxiety, share my pain. But ...alas!!! I found nobody.
The world surrounding us, gives us an opinion and controls us through it. Since childhood, we have been groomed by way of rewards and punishments to choose the conduct that agreed with others. "Don't do this", "Don't do that" is mostly what we grow up with. As a consequnce,gazing at faces for nods of approval becomes second nature to us. Apology becomes a part of our psyche, we are apologetic for almost everthing that we think or do. To live up to people's expectations of us and comply with what thay think is just, we work hard but fruitlessly, for no matter how much we conform, there is always a loophole. and with these loopholes, comes the unfathomable void in our lives. We are left all alone in this process, we chose not to evolve....
That was the reason i couldn't think of the situation you narrated.Because i'm a staunch believer of the fact that we all are alone......
कलम जब जब रोती है ,
शब्दों की शक्ल लेती है ।
अश्कों की स्याही , अश्को की स्याही ,
किताब के दामन में सोती है ।
जख्म लगाती है इक हाथ से ,
दुजे से जिन्दगी मरहम देती है ।
बिखर जाता हूँ तेरी कमी में ,
तेरी यादें मुझे थाम लेती है ।
रात चढ़ती है सहर बनने को ,
स्याह स्याही खूनी आंचल दाल लेती है ।
यूँ तो दवा दारू नहीं करते हैं हमसफर
लेकिन मुसीबतें हमें पाल लेती है ।
बरसों की दुरियाँ हैं बाकी ,तेरी निगाहें
मेरी हसीं का धोखा जान लेती है ।
चल दीप के महफ़िल में तेरा काम क्या ?
यहाँ की रंगीनियां अन्धेरो से काम लेती है ।
hum chaandni se baat karenge
taaron se mulakaat karenge
jharnon se uske geet sunenge
phoolon se uski muskaan aur khushbu
ka raaz janenge
Aaaah......
kaisa maza hoga aise jeeney mein
dhak dhak bhi hogi nahi seeney mein
Sachhhhhh.....
Kaisa haseen hoga woh samaan:-))
phir mein gauungi.......
Dekh humein awaaz dena 'o bedard jamane...hehehehe.....KAASH AISA HO..ek alag hi ahsaas hoga na mein kisi ki na hi koi mere paas hoga ...ughhh nope.....its too boring to think yaar, sochne se bhi darr lagta hai :-))))))) Uffff kaise kaise khayaal aate hein aapko plssss akele mat nikla karo :-))
Dont worry...Next time aapake sath nikalenge...
