There are hardly any people who have not heard Rupam’s ‘Ekla Ghar’ song. But the talk is not about music, but about women’s ‘habit of being alone’. What exactly is the matter? One thing is attracting a lot of attention these days. Girls are not showing much interest in married life anymore. They are no longer in the traditional concept of a house, husband, family, children to survive. Rather, these days they feel more comfortable being ‘alone’. From the balconies of flats in Kolkata, a new definition of being alone is starting to emerge. Modern urban women no longer care about loneliness. Instead, he welcomes the lonely life. This is not an isolated incident, but rather a strategy to give yourself time. And this is what many people now call the ‘Power of Solitude’.
In the late 20th century, when women began to enter the workforce heavily, success meant being busy all the time. The more active the woman was in managing career, family and social events, the more successful she was. But that constant running and pressure of expectation has now brought a kind of exhaustion. It is as if one’s own being is lost while ‘performing’ for others all day long. Therefore, this new trend of the present is actually an attempt to recover its lost land.
According to psychologists, this ‘loneliness’ is actually very important for mental health. The social obligation created to respond to everyone’s call is making people emotionally destitute. Women are looking for a way out of this fatigue. Being alone means creating a space where there is no external noise. The peace that comes from moving, thinking, or just being quiet is priceless right now.
This solitude is also a great help in the path of creativity. When the noise of the outer world subsides, the inner voice of man becomes clear. This time is essential for setting your own goals or practicing a new hobby. This solitary life gives rise to the confidence to stick to one’s decisions without relying on the approval of others.
Surprisingly, it’s true that the habit of spending quality time with yourself actually makes personal relationships stronger. When one is not afraid of being alone, one does not depend on anyone to relieve one’s need or to relieve one’s loneliness. As a result, those relationships are much more honest and deep. So being alone does not mean suffering from loneliness. Rather, women today are much more self-sufficient in this struggle to find ‘self-identity’. What the society thought, his own mental peace is becoming bigger than that. Being alone is no longer lonely.
