disconnect

Some-days, I want to disconnect from the world: like disappearing inside a cave with no external world around. The closest to this has been swimming for numerous hours in the sea or running at my pace. Reading and writing are other resorts. But then it takes you to the world you are consuming.

What I mean by disconnect is doing nothing, just sitting with your thoughts, watching the world around you, observing day and night, and listening to birds chirping. It’s like Vipassana.

The hyper-connected world has made us go nuts. We are constantly consuming news and music or plugged to phone chat. We are not giving our brains enough time to think, dream and become creative. It’s like turning zombies, and I am one of them.

Can we disconnect ourselves, stop living like zombies, and start observing the world within us? Can we supercharge our creativity?
