When I was in primary school. My fiend Sarla was my next day neighbour. Her parents used to believe in home #schooling. Sarla was very #disciplined child. I used to wonder how come Sarla studies alone all subject with #instruction of her parents. That was very unique #concept for me. I used to think poor dear Sarla she isc #misses all fun which I have at my school.
When I grew up with time, I did realize that I have never been educated to be #alone. Even I never went out for a walk by #myself?
When my children grew up, they went for their respective assignments out of city. I felt really lonely. Then I realised It is very important to go out alone.,
I had big mango tree in my garden, I started t siting under thar tree – not with a #book, not with any #companion, but by #myself – and observed the falling of a #leaf. It was a #pleasant experience for me.
Two Kms away from our house there was a water #fall, I would go walking and from distance I would hear the #rhythmic noise of the falling water.
On Sunday in winter season I would watch the #flight of a bird, and of my own #thoughts as they chase each other across the #space of my #mind.
Suddenly I realized that I am able to be #alone and watch above #mentioned things. Then I discovered extraordinary #riches in those activities. These richest #experiences no body could snatch from me. Accumulation of these richest experiences are tax free. These richest unique experiences are my tresure, I am at peace with them”
