This is something I always try to avoid. Being alone in my home makes me dull and life boring. Though I have all the gadgets to keep me engaged - Internet enabled-PC, Home Theater, Cable TV, friends who often come and go, I miss the family touch. My grand mom and Grand pa left for my uncle's place last Sunday leaving me alone in a big house, to return only on November 01.

My first day went off without much trouble. I cooked my own food, packed my lunch and went to office. After a tiring day, came back to home at 9:00 pm only to be invited by an eerie silence that prevailed across the 1st floor. I had my dinner at my uncle's house and went to bed. From today, I will, however, not have even that privilege and have to cook again in the night too.

If I say these things a bit loud, everyone would advice me to get married, for which, I believe, there is still some time.

When everything seemed to become tougher in the days to come, my mum called me to say me something very exciting. She and dad are coming for this Dussera and would be here for about a week.

Looking forward to arrival of my parents.
