00:00Loneliness often brings these deepest emotions and most painful emotions.
00:05So how can one process those emotions?
00:09Loneliness is a great teacher.
00:12The question is, are we able students?
00:18Loneliness can teach, but do we learn?
00:24You are lonely not because you don't have a friend or a boy or a girl.
00:28You are lonely because you don't have meaning.
00:31What do you do when you are lonely?
00:33Do you pick up a great book?
00:34Unlikely.
00:35You pick up your mobile phone and you call someone up and gossip for endless hours.
00:41That's the worst treatment you can give to your loneliness.
00:45That's the worst treatment.
00:46Well, you feel lonely.
00:47Why don't seek the company of the greats?
00:51We used to call it the ancient IIT.
00:54And you are still lonely.
00:56You can gym and you can play and you can swim.
00:59There is soccer.
01:00There is tennis.
01:02Everything is there that goes into the making of a beautiful person.
01:07Instead of that, you want to run after a girl or a boy.
01:11Do you know what the price of these same facilities will be when you will be no more in the
01:18campus?
01:19It will cost you 4 to 5 lakhs annually.
01:23You could pursue your wedding.
01:29Look at your father.
01:30Take care of yourself.
