I have a firm belief that at least once in a Lifetime, one should get a chance to stay in a Hostel (Best age being the Teenage or the Youth)
No matter how rich or pampered one is at Home,
Away from Home, here one learns the real meaning of Living (when you actually do not have a living! PUN intended)
Because here when one's full pocket money reaches its Final Destination, then it really doesn't matter if one's Father is an ATM (Any Time Money) or a BPL (Below Poverty Line)
And thus one learns a Lesson "Phukat Te Paushtik" (Meaning: Whatever comes for Free is Nutritious) and no Text Book of 'Home' Science can ever teach this lesson. I guarantee it!
And this is the place which cultivates in one the spirit of Sharing, the spirit of Surviving (yes, there are times here when one may actually feel like living a Life of Pi! PUN intended again)
The habit
of sharing comes automatically when one learns "Amhi Jag Vikat Gheu Shakto, Contri Kadhun" (Meaning: We can buy this whole world, of course by Contributing Money)
Moreover, This is the place where one gets a Family when one is away from one's Biological Family.
Today, it's five years since I had left my Hostel, but the lessons learnt there are still fresh in my mind as if it happened yesterday.
Today, I am proud that I was privileged to 'Live' in a Hostel.
Are You?
