One of these days a freind asked me (in context of marriage), if I felt 'alone' coming home to an empty house with no one to welcome me. I thought over this and seriously said 'no'. That set me thinking as how different my 'ideal' life would be from others. I decided to frame it out in this post.
In my ideal life, I should be working in a R&D company with a single studio flat in a preferably European town. I would get up in the morning, brew my own mega-cup of tea and sit over a newspaper for few mins with a large crust of my favorite bread. I would finish it and read my favorite book in the loo. I would then go to my office, work with a bunch of creative and happy people, give great outputs. I would have my lunch in an open air cafe. Finish with awesome coffee and head back.Finish my work and go back home, change into running gear, go for a run , come back, take bath and fix myself a great salad/soup. I would then read a book, finish any office work and generally kill time on the net. If freinds are over, we would have a nice beer and dinner..otherwise I would go to bed.If weekends are free I should have sufficient moolah to trek/visit places and pursue photography. Sometimes I should be able to find time for sketching and painting. Once in a year I should go out for a really long trek with my camera. I would frame good enough prints of my pics and hang it around my apartment. My freind circle would be small but nice. No stupid social obligations or family functions. I should earn enough to pay my bills and save a little for my retirement and insurance. I would preferably have a cheap car and an expensive cycle.
the coming home part really doesnt figure...
Tall order?

and then one day you will be old and have no one to share the happiness and sorrows with. They call it " better half " for a reason. You don't have to be married but who doesn't want/like to be loved and wanted.
You can't be young forever. .Man is a social animal and we all need a companion. .just some food for thought :)
Yeah.. I will be old and die alone. Many 'happy' couples too will lose their spouse to illness ..accident..etc and will die alone. Many are dying alone everyday even with their spouses..many have realised that physically together doesn't always mean mental closeness. Many couples can't share a bathroom..let alone joys and sorrows. So its not always for the 'better'. That being said..till u find someone you love and respect..and he/she/it loves you back ....getting together just to avoid dying alone is a risk..I think is not worth it.
Hi Piyush, I wanna talk to you. Please leave me your personal mail id or facebook id if you are comfortable enough. BTW people call me Sapna :-)
Hi sapna.. its piyushdas079@gmail.com . BTW anything specific?
well well how easily you painted the picture for me. That the life a happy man will lead.. no doubt on that. If you can not find peace and comfort in society then kill the obligations. (Something i learned form u Mr Das). In my ideal life... i wud prefer a loving man but u guess then it wud be highly-confusing-delicate-balance-hapy situation which can go crashing easily... well ideal life is only idea until we get it so lets wait till we cross the bridge.
Btw loved the article.
;) Sheetal .
