It has been 6 years, me living out of home. In hostels, PGs, rented houses...
Single sharing, double sharing, 3 sharing, 4 sharing...
So there are countless roommates and neighbors, I have had so far. Some were for 1 year, some for 1 week, and some for even 1 day......... not joking its true. After good lot of experience, I came to conclusion people in there rooms are supposed to be very close to who they actually are. There lifestyle, eating habits, drinking habits (in some cases), are all transparent enough to a roommate or a next room occupants. It is not friendship, not enmity as well, but its sort of an acquaintance which the roommates have amongst themselves. The acquaintance is of some special kind, very unique to any other relationship. Some of the times its good help. Some times it may be good care. While the others it may be good company. There may be shared deep dark secrets, while some times you can never make out the full name of the person. Weird but true. I used to believe that at least in the room the person is supposed to be true, simple, honestly herself. But ... strange... this is not the case. If you think you know your roommate well enough, think again. Definitely there are bunch of things which are not visible to you in the front end. They are ‘Behind the scenes’. And to find out these behind the scenes event, you have to be observant enough. It is not that you find out the events and start interfering in your roommate’s personal/professional life. You have no right to do that, coz actually you are part of none of them. Just sit back to analyze, how people are, just add a little more experience in knowing a person. Get the idea of behind the scenes...
