Living Alone

Those people who are living alone get enough time for everything, they get time to feel that they have not talked to their dad and mom. Or they get time to think that it has been a long they have not visited their aunt's home. This time can never be gained when you don't live alone...cell phone, internet has made living much easier. Research also shows that those who live alone go out more. Hence, living alone will never let you be in isolation anyways, rather it fosters your development.
You read novels, spend time for books, you learn to cook, you learn how to wash clothes and utensils when you live alone...You get the confidence to live in any part of the world. Life may or may not give you this opportunity for you to live alone, but if you get it, taste it. In this modern technological era, you will never be feeling lonely and bored to live alone. Once you get habituated you feel irritated in a crowd. I can say this because I have been living alone in Kathmandu alone and I am happy.--
