Importance of Soltiude

Imagine yourself inside your laboratory working with robots or any of your project, without anyone interfering with you, just fully immersed in the subject, so much so that you forget everything. Human geniuses have not come from Heaven or Hell, it has come out of such deep contemplation in life.  If you observe the pattern, soltitude is something which is common in most of the men who have produced unparellel results.

If you want to do something new, what must be first thing to do? Just think logically? You must keep all rubish around you aside and bust don't allow anyone to interrupt you. In age of technology, we are totally missing this point. We have created such corporate structures which are more of marketing and convincing and politics but works very less on bringing human genius out of a person. 

Current society is grinding us down to become almost predictable dumb ass robots, who are stuck with features of Iphone and Ipad, and girlfriends,parties, jobs, family and a big cocktail of people around us. If you are just stuck being a vomit house of information around you, how can you be open and receptive to new food, new ideas. 

Imagine yourself in Movie theatre with a talkative girlfriend or an important client. You will miss so much in movie then. Atleast in movies, we value involvement and soltitude, but why don't we value it in our day to day life, when we are at office? Slowly OpenWorkspace design's are entering but I personally wish workspaces to experiment on effeciency in group and in seperate spaces with least pressuring telephone bells and more encouraging comments, I bet you Companies will produce tremendous results, but even if someone is sceptical, why shy away from experimenting?

Today, complains are coming round the corner, nothing new is happening in life, although everything is new around me? Why is it so? Because we are so much surrounded by prerecorded information, that we have totally forgotten that we can create situations around us too . . . 

“Guard well your spare moments. They are like uncut diamonds. Discard them and their value will never be known. Improve them and they will become the brightest gems in a useful life.” 

If you seriously wan't to do something which you consider worth striving, like some want to plunge in music, subjects of art's, etc. Separate yourself from distractions, develop some self control and planning,and just try to get maximum in flow with work as you can.If you are having conversation, be with it, if you are doing art or research or IT Stuff, be with it. But still I prefer that avoid familiar, because it will bring you back to square one some times. A famous character of Friends, Pheoby Buffey(Lisa Kudrow) had once said, that most important thing I did, was to become insensitive of comments and create space for myself. 

“Sometimes I get so immersed in my own company, if I unexpectedly run into someone I know, it's a bit of a shock and takes me a while to adjust.” 

― Kazuo Ishiguro, Never Let Me Go

The biggest disadvantage India faces today is not that it doesn't have talented people, but we need contacts and all politics has entered into it. If you want to be politician, it is a great choice, make it and live through it. But someone having extraordinary talent in some field need not be politician who market's himself well to get into high position. I met an extraordinary painter, who paints such amazing Warli art, but lives in subhuman conditions. And the bosses are making all the profit.

Trust me on this, don't buy too many opinions. When you are alone, either you can quell your rising conscious awareness and involvement by overeating, wine, over indulgance in sexuallity and remain stuck with it or you can make these voices louder and louder unless it resonates completely in and through you.

So go, watch air buddies , get some entertainment and then,get into some work so deeply, that days and night pass like a fraction of second. That's the way work should be, and not like a painful, chitter chatter, here catering, there catering, politics, how to win friends and influence people job. True genius is bound to come. Otherwise you will always be stuck with the predictables and live a normal life like any other animal, survival and procreation with a flab of repetitive fluctuating intelligence.
