Living alone: It essentially depends on your mindset. I moved to living alone because of my career prospects and that i wanted to live alone. Living alone does not come in free of cost - a good house, foregoing certain necessities that you are used to, having to do with the house locked for 8 to 12 hrs every day, managing food, and putting up with loneliness at times and more.. are practicalities of living alone. But if you are well equipped with all necessities and manage your relations with ur friends, colleagues and neighbourhood without over indulgance, living alone can be pleasant and enjoyable. Family plays a very important role in providing one with emotional stability. Being in touch with family on a regular basis helps. The bottomline is you must WANT to live alone to enjoy living alone.
