Bachelorhood, roommates, and everything in between

Have you ever considered what it could be like to share a home with many friends? Do you want to relocate as a result of your strict parents' refusal to give you your own space? Or are you thinking of moving away from your current location to go it alone and begin a new life or career? Or perhaps you wonder what it must be like to live with a large bunch of strangers because your friend lives alone and far from his family. Is it entertaining?

 

If you're having these thoughts, you’re not the only one. These were things I was also considering, but after spending some time in Dhaka with my housemates, I believe I have some answers. So you want to get in the car and belt up? Or are you pressing the button to cancel the rider?

Yes, It started with a train journey. We asked ourselves in the beginning. Is it fun? And the answer is obviously no!!! Just kidding!! The answer is a yes and a no. Ok let me explain. Do you want to hear the bad one first or the good one? Oh! You want to hear the bad one first. Ok! Even if you had chosen the good one first, I would have started with the bad one anyway,

Why is it not fun? No rules, no restrictions, a bunch of friends. You are free to do whatever you want, including sleep whenever you want and play games whenever you want. When enjoying complete independence, you continue to complain that it is not enjoyable. when people get all the things they like or they had always wanted in their life, they loose the importance of it.

 

Let's envision a situation where you awoke in the morning, made your bed, went to the kitchen to prepare yourself breakfast, then got ready and left for work. You cleaned your room when you got home from a long day. Either you had work to do or you had chores. The place is a mess, and you're also hungry. You also require the laundry. Would you like that to happen? No, right?

The reason I’m telling you this is that this is what a bachelor's life looks like. The presence of family figures makes the whole thing so much easier. You don't have to do a lot of work while living with your family. Imagine, after a bad day at work, you came home. Your mum is there, and she made your favorite food. Your dad asking I’m going outside, do you need anything, son? Wouldn’t that melt your heart?

Bachelor's life is hard as you have to do your own chores, make important decisions like do you want to eat pizza or you want to buy a jersey with that money, all by yourself. Well, let me aid your imagination a little more. You want to reside in a particular region, but the landlords don't want to have bachelors living there. You and your roommates want to live in a specific area, but the cost will be difficult for you both. Even if you manage to find a house whose owners accept bachelors, there are many restrictions, such as no access to the roof, gate closing after 10.30 , no outsiders permitted, and no outside friends. A little too much, yes? It's time to study even if you manage everything right now, but your roommates have chosen to play games. You now want to study and play simultaneously. greatest of both worlds?

There are benefits to being a bachelor as well. Your pals are residing with you. If you have some goofy wholesome roommates like I do, you might get to sing together, even you can share feelings with your roommates, or chill in tongs or restaurants, sipping coffee telling your friend not to smoke anymore then eventually picking up the habit not recommended as well, sharing food with each other, doing pranks on one another and so on . Living a bachelor life is fun, not going to lie. It’s like a movie to be honest with thriller, action, emotion, washing dishes/ clothes. Just kidding lol.

There are a lot of things one can learn while living as a bachelor. It helps you take decisions under pressure, teaches you to be more responsible, helps you gain more knowledge about the outside as I didn’t know that you don't buy ginger of 1 kg it might get rotten soon, or the price of oil now 190 per liter it might help you, you never know haha‌!!

 Some come to live bachelors from very conservative families with many restrictions. They can enjoy the freedom, their own space. Some girls coming from conservative families ,come to new cities, make their name by working outside, creating opportunities for others as well.
