Being a day scholar!!

To clarify, i am not in college right now.I am working in am MNC for around 8 months now....but these days i am remebering my college days very much so i thought why not write a blog about it!!
My college life was not an exiting one.I was a day scholar,so was particularly away from all the gossips and exiting stuff,My college life revolved around going to college in the morning,taking those sleep inducing classes and return back to home.I had some friends who also belonged to the same category as I,therefore,most of my evening were either spent on phone or infront of the television.
At that time i thought i am happy to be not a part of the hostel,as i was comparatively away from politics,i got food in my room irrespective of the time i feel hungry,i live with my parents,i dont have to bother how much money i have at a particular time,i did not have to travel for all the occasions.Basically, i could be a part of crowd whenever i wanted and could very well isolate myself at any other moment.
But now i have left home.
I live on my own,where the responsibilities are far more.I have to earn my own money,travel on my own,cook myself....how much i miss my Mom's presence when i am very hungry but know tha before satisfying my hunger i have to go to the market to buy vegetable and to cook them.
i remember the unity in my classmates when they lived together,how much they care for each other,how much they make their friends a part of their families.
Those friends are friends for ever,they eat together,smile together,study together,take care of each other and form bonds that are present for a life time.
I wish i too get to live a chance of living that life, so tha i can understand the relationship between two persons in a better way!1

existence

Happy to exist in this Earth?
Obviously!!We get to live like Human beings,supposedly the most intelligent of the lot,we eat delicious food,see beautiful places,wear expensive clothes,and the list continues...
But is this life worth it?Is there nothing in the world which could be more enticing than this life?
Well,there has to be.There has to be a life where one is allowed to live freely,without any boundations,without any restrictions,without any expectations.
Our life is bound by these expections at every stage,right from the time we are born.
A child is born...expectation:He should be healthy,should look beautiful(at least better than that neighbour's child!!)
He goes to school...expectation:He should come first in class,should stand first in the class race
He grows up...expectation:should have a good job,again a better one than that neighbour
He marries...expectation:Girl should be very good looking,she should know how to cook the best rice curry in town,she should respect het in laws,should never come home late....the list in this case goes to infinity
He has children...same expectations when he was a child.
And the list continues...
Can you imagine a life without these expectaions, a life where everyone respects the other's decision and does not interfere with them stating what is right and what is wrong.
I am not saying that life would be better then,but the level of satisfaction to a human being would be more in this case.
He would be able to live life on his own terms,to be accountable for all his rights and all his wrongs, so that when he dies he is not left with any regrets like "What would life be IF i had followed my heart"
If nothing,living on our own terms could help us reduce the use of the big word ,IF,in our sentences
