This picture was taken in a bungalow deep inside (35kms from the
main entrance) the Wilpattu national park. If you look very closely at the
picture you will realize a cell phone has been kept on a chair which has been
kept on top of a ledge so that it can connect to the Dialog network in order an
“incoming” call can be received. I have stayed in this bungalow before and know
this for a fact. Only when I saw this did it make me realize that what a
powerful need the ability to communicate is?
And I guess this need to keep in touch to connect increases by leaps and
bounds when you are stuck in the middle of nowhere. It reminded me of a little
bit of trivia which I gathered from Nat Geo that the human brain processes
loneliness in the same area which pain is processed. That is why loneliness is
such a destructive emotion. And we are coming in to the season where loneliness
reaches its peak some resulting in suicide. Yes it’s the season to be jolly.
Christmas!
