The hostel Life
Coming to a new city is always scary and exciting at the same time. 8 years ago, I came to this city all alone with no friends and relatives, and this is when I have relatives all over India, except this city (can you imagine?). Anyways, it was a nice change and the feeling of being independent had finally sunk in. My family found me a nice PG to stay in and left.
Day 1, I Cried. I felt all alone. But this is something that I had always wanted. Doing my own dishes, buying my own stuff, managing my own money, my hard earned money and deciding where I want to go (or not).
Day2, first day at the office. All new faces. Some scared, some chirpy, some shy, some overly friendly. Soon, people started opening up. They were the easiest friendships that I made in my life. Most of us were sailing the same boat. First time away from family and friends and we became each other’s anchor. Soon we were inseparable. Eating together, drinking together, studying together, partying together, travelling together, love stories, and heart breaks were all part of the deal. It was one of the best experiences of my life.
Time doesn’t wait for anyone and thus it didn’t for us. After 4 years we have all separated and are living our life, some married, some parents and some still looking for their other halves but the thing which didn’t change is our love for “those days”.
Living with friends teaches us a lot. You learn to understand people, you learn to live through the heart breaks and you understand not every person you meet would be good. Away from the protective environment of your home, you are your own judge, being safe is in your own hands now. Staying away from bad habits and bad people is your call. Cherish the freedom you have got and you will cherish your “Those days” forever, just Like I do.
