Living Alone from my Perspective

-


Ever since I could remember I have always wanted a place of my own, I mean to live alone. I had ever made a solemn pact with myself that even if it was for just one month,I will get a place and live just by myself.
Fate smiled on me, when I got a chance to have a sneak peek into the world of living alone. The following are some my personal titbits on living alone:
1. First and foremost you get naked as much as you want to.
2. You can regulate the amount of visitors.
3. Everything is to your taste.
4. Peace, quiet and some tranquillity.
5. Nobody to misuse your stuff or eat your food.
6. Everything goes your easy.
7. No surprises.

And on the off side:
1. The whole responsibility of the room or house falls on your lonely shoulder.
2. No one to talk to.
3. If you are anything like me who can get scared by my own breathing, then you can get scared by your own breathing in the middle of the night.
4. Too quiet.
5. Boredom.
6. NoBody to help during emergencies.
7. No surprises.
...I think I need to review my self made and self imposed pact, but I don't know where the heart takes me...

Although to be fair, I was partially living on my own as I lived apart from my family with other people, so I guess I didn’t qualify for the ceremony.

It was late afternoon, the harsh scorch from the sun was fading, the cool evening breeze had begun its daily night shift. A small group of little humans; consisting of five or six children with age ranging from 7 to 9; emerge running from a three-storey building. They ran towards the tarred road adjacent to their building stopping a few metres away from the road, at the designated structure which was a shed made of aluminium roofing sheets and four wooden poles. This endeavour has been a daily ritual for these set of children, it had become more than what it was set out to be, right now, with the amount of attention, dedication and tenacity poured into it, it was much more than a game. Occasionally, some adults would entertain themselves by joining the group and taking the acting role of both spectators and judges, but today there were no spectators and or judges. They lined themselves side by side as each child prepared to verbally take possession of passing cars that he or she d
