Why Solo Travel might be Overrated

There are people who claim to love travelling alone. They claim that it helps them know themselves "better" and have some me-time.
But, I live in a city where I face language barrier and have to spend a lot of time alone. Thus, when it comes to travelling, I doubt if I would ever want to go to another place far away and wish to do the same. Roam around alone with no one to giggle with.
It is hard to accept that you don't enjoy me-time, as other people have this opinion that "intelligent" people would always love to do the same. There are billion intelligent, shit-crazy thoughts that pass through their mind when they are travelling and they can manage everything all by themselves.


Why would you want to spend time alone, when you rarely get to enjoy a family time? Where is the world taking you? When you are out there on the beach all by yourself, won't you miss your funny friend who makes you giggle all the time? Won't you want to be with a partner when you see a couple tossing each other in the water? What thought would cross your mind when you see a one year old kid swimming with their parents?

So I think dude, if you want to spend some me time, you better not waste your savings on the travel. you aren'
t going to another city to talk to a random stranger and spend time with those who you barely know as they could be annoying as well. Not all conversations are exciting in real world.

Stop with the blogs already and go enjoy family time!

    Quite an interesting perspective ! True, it could be overrated but for some I guess, it is still a “ get away from your mundane life “ card ! I, for one, always travelled solo, to my hometown ! That gave me both:- the solo time and the family time too !

      Yes. Although, I was not referring to just the airplane/train travel, but those who decide to a have an entire vacation by themselves. Although, yes it might be a nice break from regular life. :) If you can't decide to go with friends, better go alone, eh?

    I travel alone, not to discover myself, but to discover others.

Revisiting.

When I was young, Oh, when I was young... Everything was so much fun. Had no dreams, had no pun, but oh, it was so much fun. The hugs from mama, learning skates, learning to ride a bicycle and the dance with papa. The fights with di and the games too.. Telling on her to mom and dad, and the midnight stories too.. No cellphone, no wifi, Even the cable was out, Had a playground, had a school, and there was plenty happiness, no doubt There were friends, who brought plenty smiles Them, I still dream of, After the closing of blinds... And now, Oh its still good,, With the new world around.. but the old days, I will always miss their sound.

That Overused Term.

Ever think of love? What are the chances that a person could fall in love madly and deeply, to the extent that it consumes them? 10 times? Or maybe only once? They say those who do not seek it, those who do not fight for it, might not even find it. They may spend their entire lives, either hung over someone who they loved and lost, or settle for someone they do not even love. Under societal pressures or because of their own loneliness? But people have felt that emotion throughout history. Some find it in separation, which is also known to be the strongest of all the loves that exist. The dire need to look at someone and feel alive. The missing that is so powerful that it overtakes your mind and body. In the times of quarantine, the strings of your own heart can very well be understood. It is all peaceful out and there is a certain deafening silence. It could make you hear your soul, for you have nowhere to escape. Immerse yourself in books and movies as much as you want, but

Being a Slave to AI?

 Last night I was binge watching Netflix, because I have my accounting exam. Who wants to study that, eh? In the middle of the two idiotic rom-coms, I also saw a documentary "The Social Dilemma".   When you find it on your Netflix feed, by the name itself you shall think, "Oh! It is going to tell us how internet is scary and etc etc.," and you'll continue to scroll the feed to watch something else. Why? Because YOU cannot face the truth, that the SOCIAL PLATFORMS where you want to spend so much time on, are actually owning you? Artificial Intelligence, isn't just about the robots killing people in the future. It is in the NOW. It is running your lives. The people who themselves were a part of the platforms, like Tristan Harris - share the scary impact that social media has on the people around you. For example, take the rumors spread on Corona Virus? You think those people were not manipulated on believing that? No one is that stupid. It's the AI that ma
