Hi sunny,i think it'll do you good to start talking with yr wife, u know just chatting about anything & everything.U may find it difficult if u r not a person of many words, but believe me, it helps to have a special someone to talk to. Sit with her & plan yr life, yr weekends, trips, yr finances, food, movies,news...anything.Once u open up with her, u may find that social functions r not that unbearable after all. As a compromise u may leave early, but it's not very polite to ask yr wife to go alone.People raise eyebrows, u know.Of course u must spend some time alone too..but not to the point of depression. Accept yr wife as a best friend & she'll be able to help u out of this and enjoy life.Best Wishes.
I think this is a very useful series by Rediff. I am living alone for last 7 years (first 4 yrs in college), and now I have started feeling lonely. I feel incomplete all the time, and feel nostalgia for my home and my parents. I guess I will have to remain single for another 2 years, and I am not yet sure how am I going to do that. So, i am surfying the pages of rediff!!
hi.. thanks to the writers of this article, and of other articles too which deal with living alone. i am gonna go to stay alone or with friends in pune for undergrad studies, thus these articles were a real help to me to get prepared for the big changeover in my life!!!
i have not yet ventured out but about to do so. I am 27 and for the last 3 years i have wanted to move to mumbai. now that i have finished my studies and am finally moving to mumbai things like accomodation and safety seems to take out the fizz from the excitement. the lates is finding accomodation in my meagre salary
but to be truly honest i am so excited that i have to keep puuling my self back to reality
hey this article has been of a great help to ppl like me who are stepping out of their comfy,cushy existence.I have recently gone thru a break-up after 4yrs and landed a really grt job offer that involves me moving out of my 'safe' sphere!After reading these post maybe I will go ahead n try something new in my life.
Always keep yourself busy in learning new things, networking etc. Have a mobile; get a broad band internet connection (there is nothing like internet), TV, music system, and all that you require to cook.
There is nothing like living alone. There is no one to bother you and you have no one to blame. Believe me it is fun.
But I also agree what is more enjoyable is Change. One should feel and experience all kinds of life.
Profession- International Marketing Manager Age- 25 I had moved to Pune in 2001.At that time , I was staying in a hostel, so no problem.Reality struck when I started working.I still remember the days when I was hunting for a suitable place in the hot afternoons.Another 2 years went while I stayed as a PG.But now I am working for an MNC with HQ in Hong Kong.I am supposed to be at this place atleast 5 times in an year.The first day was a mess , I lost my way and was going round and round for 2 hours.So few tips when you are ina foreign land and staying there- 1. Always keep a map with you.A detailed one. 2. If you are an Indian , do know the addresses where good Indian restaurants are.It will be expensive but worth having. 3.Also, if you are a non- vegetarian and do not eat Pork or beef.Check for ingredients in the sandwich or meal which you are taking.One day , by mistake I took pork sandwich!! 4.Always purchase calling cards from airport, its cheaper. 5. Take the local mobile nos of your colleagues and maintain a good rapport with them. 6.Do ask about the weather changes from the natives as weather changes can play real havoc.
