solitude is my home, loneliness was my cage Gavrani, Renuka creator Author Noida Amaryllis (An Imprint of Manjul Publishing House) 2023 eng xix, 136 p. : ill. ; 19 cm. The text argues that society conditions us from childhood to fear loneliness by portraying people who are alone as weak, unwanted, or in need of saving. Because of this, many people try to fit in and gain acceptance, often losing their true selves in the process. The author shares a personal journey of moving from feeling lonely and seeking validation to embracing solitude and using it for self-growth. The core idea is that loneliness is not a curse but a misunderstood state that can be transformed into a powerful period of personal development. The book aims to help readers shift their mindset—from fearing being alone to enjoying it—and use solitude to build a fulfilling life and achieve their goals. Renuka Gavrani.
