It's
been
ages
since
Sandalwood
star
Ramya
appeared
on
the
silver
screen.
The
actress
decided
to
step
away
from
the
world
of
cinema
following
her
involvement
in
politics.
And
now,
in
a
rare
media
interaction
with
the
Bangalore
Times,
the
Golden
Girl
of
Kannada
Film
Industry
shared
her
understanding
of
life
and
the
best
way
to
enjoy
it.
Ramya
wrote,
“Those
of
us
(me
included,
obviously)
who
have
intense
(read
passionate)
personalities,
tend
to
get
consumed
by
the
world
and
its
trivialities
and
get
so
caught
up
in
them
that
we
get
exhausted
and
burn
out
quickly.
This
is
one
extreme.
And
then
there
are
those
of
us
(me
included,
again,
obviously),
who,
when
exhausted/disillusioned,
step
back,
isolate
and
reflect.
We
ask
ourselves
all
the
pertinent
questions,
who
am
I,
why
me,
what’s
my
purpose,
what’s
the
meaning
in
life,
etc.
We
find
solace
in
spirituality.
We
tend
to
drift
away
from
the
world
and
drift
so
far
that
we
become
detached,
dispassionate,
non-enthused
about
life.
Nothing
titillates
the
mind,
nothing
affects
us,
we
lose
interest
in
life,
because
we
think
we’ve
'figured
it
all
out’
and
wonder
what
the
point
of
it
all
is?
It
happens.
It’s
happened
to
me.
This
is
the
other
extreme.”
She
went
on
to
add,
“I
am
speaking
from
my
own
experience;
we
need
to
find
balance
between
the
two
extremes.
And
that’s
the
hardest
part,
but
also
the
best
way
to
enjoy
life.
To
know
our
place
in
this
world,
the
maya
of
it
and,
therefore,
ephemeral/fleeting
and
to
still
be
curious
and
interested
in
life;
that’s
the
balance
we
need
to
find.
As
much
as
it
is
important
to
reflect
and
ask
who
we
really
are
and
what
our
purpose
is,
we
also
need
to
be
grateful
for
the
now,
to
live.”
(sic)
The
actress
concluded
her
note
with
a
personal
confession
and
an
important
message
to
everyone.
“It’s
a
real
struggle.
I
have
hurt
my
loved
ones
deeply
and
pushed
them
away
when
they
tried
to
help
in
finding
meaning
and
balance.
I
learnt
that
balance
is
key,
albeit
the
hard
way.
It's
my
journey.
And
so,
to
you
I
say
—
don’t
get
caught
up
in
the
world
and
its
attachments,
don’t
go
too
far
away
either,
stay
in
the
now.
Life
is
a
present,
live
it!
Also,
note
to
self,”
she
said.
