living alone...
by shyam on Oct 22, 2005 03:43 PM

hi tanya,

i agree with ur thoughts which are letting you feel closer to INDIA and us. But you have touched only one aspect of 'Living Alone'. You have kept other aspect untouched which is more pathetic. you will be completing your study and joining ur family again in course of time. But there are few of us who are leading their lives alone . Forever.. who have lost their dear ones. Thanx to the perceptions of the modern world who showed us the way to live alone but how can we collect the courage to remain deprived of warm lap of mother..care of brother..love of sister..lovely power cuts.. coin box public telephones.. stars in the sky......

Try staying outside india

Alone, in a non english speaking country, like european countries, and u will know exactly what living alone means. I really dont live alone, but its a lonely existence, i live in a hostel, in a non english speaking country, and have to do every damn thing myself. Shop, pay the bills, repair and all. Just a piece of advice for gurls, there is nothing that u cant do! You dont always needs guys to do anything around the house. There isnt a thing i cant do, if i motivate myself to learn, i can fix eletrical stuff, computers, pipes, leaky faucets, paints, wallpapers and all that stuff. You just need to have a positive attitude.

Living alone gives an exposure to different people,helps in doing all work yourself,develops confidence and personality.Living with parents with easy accessment of all things does not allow you to realize the value of money and time.

Living Alone not Lone

The mantra for living on you own is \"Dont let ur self feel lone, even if you stay alone.\" Self fulfillment and confident is the key for staying alone.

It is more of a need than choice
by Raman on Oct 22, 2005 01:42 PM

well living alone was more of need than choice.It was my need to grow to become a better professional tht took me living alone.It has been good to me as now i save well and have become a good cook.And i get a lot of time to pursue my interests in Mathematics which i love and want to make it my life in future.on darker side i have evolved habbits which are very different from my own family and my culture.but its great to live alone.

I wud rather term it both in black and white, i mean both pros and cons exist for living alone.
first you get utmost independence doing things, right, which wud/might have gone against your will, due to parental concern, or their being orthodox/conservative.
Certainly u learn to grow no matter small or big problems u face in day to day life. Though there are possibilities of dilemma exisiting in the free flow of thoughts, sooner or later we get used to it and are able to take many important decissions of our own (rather due to compulsions of having nobody rightaway to consult with (keep aside the tele/e-contacts))..

Well the negativities can be we become too much selfish (perhaps sometimes), or in other words feel too much responsible abt ourselves, that we dont seek for others' suggestions in to account. We are kind of feel better but being isolated..
