I can relate to your experience since I have also live alone for a while in the US. Having relatives helps a little bit but not much. I guess you are homesick. There are a lot of Indians in the UK in general and in London in particular. Thats what I have been told.

Hi mili,
I can understand you at least about Germany. I am also doing same as you in Germany. But I decided to go back after few days. Not because of staying alone, I think I can do better than this in India and for India. But I will keep coming to this place.

I completely agree with what Tanya has said. I too live in Derby in UK and I can completely understand what every student feel.
Although life seems to be more exciting here more discos and more lights to life but, there is no peace you always need to have someone to share your thoughts your feelings which is completely a Black Hole here.
Again if you are living alone and separate from family that makes you self confident and independent, which I guess is the key to success. You come across many type of humans and wonderful characters, you become more mature and list goes on.....
I would say to everyone that please please do not forget your background. Wherever you live in this world make it a point to go back your home and meet your friends and family for sure. This will keep your energy high and your confidence will always be rocking.

U R correct, Mili on the pros & cons of living alone in abroad for so long. Like U, me too living alone in China since 1997 and I cld understand all that U said on "living along......is pathetic". But, what cld we do? We selected this life and so we need to face the things as they come to us as they are. For me, what hurts me a lot is, having nobody with us to share all our love, affections, emotions, ideas, etc. U R most welcome to have a chat/mail with/to me thru 'ksv19641111@yahoo.com' OR 'ksv19641111@rediffmail.com'
