My Hostel Routine. #hostel life 1
ย ย ย ย ย HOSTEL SERIES, #2:
The most boring time of the day in a hostel is after 8:00 pm. There is no one around you who is actually yours: your mother, father, siblings, childhood friends, there is no one to make you laugh, or encourage you to get up and relax. No one cares about you and your emotions. You have to live entirely and wholly on your own withoutย the supervision of any elder (except the hostel coordinator). You willย not see your mother holding a cup of tea for you and rushing here andย there to make sure you eat well and drink well; there’s no one to look after you or protectย you from the *evils* exceptย Almighty, there’s no one standingย outsideย a door, waiting for you to come back from college, there’s no oneย to ask you, ‘how was your day?’, there’sย no one to see your face and ask you, ‘Is everything ok? Why are you lookingย upset?’, there’s no one to ask you, ‘Whyย did you eat less? Do you need one more chapatti or some more rice or curry?’ In a nutshell, you are of no value for anyone except you and your family. Everyone caresย aboutย themselves which is fair enough. It is whatย it is.!
Hostel transforms the personality of a person. It changes you to a whole new level. Youย get to meet differentย people from differentย backgrounds and with differentย mindsets. It’sย very difficultย to get adjust in such environment especiallyย whenย yourย guardians are not there around youย all the time. That’sย when a person learns to be strong, independent, and smart. As a hostelite, youย face a lot of problems, sometimes which are not explainable but gradually, with time you not onlyย learn to deal with such problems but become prone to such problems.
