10 things that you can do when you are away from your loved ones and feel marooned.

1. Read a book- Now, they don’t say that books are your best friends for nothing! A good book with a cup of coffee can give you company for hours. Even if you are not much of a reader you can still indulge yourself into comics! Remember Archies, Tinkle, Garfield, Calvin &Hobbes…….

2. Pen down your random thoughts- Often when you are alone and away from near and dear ones, the solitude of time and space brings lot of thoughts in the head and it is the best time to introspect and write down your thoughts into a diary…..a certain memoir to keep! You will yourself be surprised when you read it again after a few years.

3. Go for a walk- What better to beat the solitude than being amongst people itself! A stroll by a beach, lake or in a park will cheer you up so much. At times just gazing at people, observing their activities can really take your blues away. And then, a breath of fresh air and a little bit of exercise will also give extra benefits!

4. Listen to your favorite music- Just put the CD on and play your song. It is probably the best time for you to listen to ‘your’ music and feel it completely. You can sing along aloud, you can groove with it in front of the mirror or you can simply close your eyes and feel the rhythm in your soul.

5. Solve a puzzle- Take a crossword, su-do-ku, brain-teasers -anything that interests you, and try solving it. Set your own deadlines and make your own rules. It is a great way to not just avoid boredom but also exercise the brain!

6. Experiment in the kitchen- Now, if you are a homemaker then you might not like this idea a lot but there is always a time when each of us want to experiment our own recipes. And what better time than this to test your culinary skills! Go ahead, mix and mash anything you feel like without any worries of what will your hubby/boyfriend/kids will eat if you mess it up! If you are a guy, well you might just impress your girl with a culinary innovation!

7. Watch a movie- Get a DVD from your local shop and enjoy a movie. A comedy is the best option but so is any other movie that you really have been wanting to watch in a long time but haven’t got a chance to do!

8. Pamper yourself- Go shopping! Join a hobby class. Learn something new or reinvent an old hobby. Get activity kits and absorb yourself in the world of creative arts.

9. Connect with the past- See old cards, letters, photographs. It is something that is bound to make you feel better. You might also get excited to call an old friend whom you haven’t called in a long time. It is time to reconnect!

10. Write letters – This is the perfect time to pour your love into a letter and send it across to the people whom you are missing. You can write a long letter describing how much you miss them, tie it with a ribbon and send it through post. The recipient will be pleasantly surprised to see your little gift.
