"A man can be himself only so long as he is alone, and if he does not love solitude, he will not love freedom, for it is only when he is alone that he is really free."said a famous writer. Solitude or the state of being alone is a luxury in this fast-paced life.In today's hustle and bustle of life we are always bounded by our duties and responsibilities.        Right from the dawn till dusk we lead a monotonous robotic life as if somebody has put the switch on and off we go. We are busy trying to connect with everyone,making friends and leading an active social life. The more we are connected with others the more empowered we feel. The entire life goes in pleasing others and becoming a slave of the society. This social butterfly syndrome is contagious and engulfs the whole society.

                                                                                             The Face of Truth is covered  with a brilliant golden orb.

Today, there is a race among people to earn more money, power and position.  In order to pursue these goals, we do not...

And when he speaks to you believe in him, Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden. For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you." Khalil Gibran. L     Love the sweetest and most beautiful expression given by nature to mankind.The very essence of being is love. It's quintessentially the fundamental and basic expression of any relationship.Love is the longing of the heart and nurturing of the soul.Like the dry parched earth quenches her thirst from rain clad clouds,the soul also nourishes itself with the nectar called love.Love nourishes soul in many forms-Mother-child,Guru-disciple,Man-woman and transcendental love.Among the various forms of love,Man-Woman relationship is the most talked about.                ...

    " I prefer the gorgeous freedom,    And I fly to lands of grace,   Where in wide and clear meadows  All is good, as dreams, and blest. " said a famous poet. Who doesn't prefer freedom,liberty or emancipation-The act of speech or conduct according to one's will.We are all born free and freedom is our innate quality.Man has faught many a wars for the sake of freedom.We daily hear of incidences where people are fighting for freedom of speech and expression... Freedom of speech,freedom of thoughts,freedom of expression,freedom of worship...all sorts of freedom. But are we really free...Are we actually born free.let it look at it this way .The moment we attach an identity with ourselves we generously lose our so called freedom.We start gathering mass to that identity and gradually become slave to that identity.We live in that identity.We live for that identity. Freedom is something not to be acquired.Freedom is something not to striv...
