How Often Do You Go Out On Weekends/weekdays??

Hi anika987,

I feel the same,back home in India it's very different, whatever you mentioned is exactly is the reason that I feel the need to move back to India.
For me it does matter a lot, small things actually makes big difference.
What else one can do after all in the foreign land? We do go a lot outside like mainly for shopping and eating in the same restaurant s and same type of food, my husband doesn't like to spend a lot but for me shopping and eating is I feel the only time pass here ...we can watch movies in India atleast once/twice a month but here we don't, simply because not each and every Bollywood movie realeses here, also we can't get to see regional movies like we get to see in India, also I m a very choosy person, can't just watch anything...
So for me, I do have a strong empty feeling inside that I m living in a foreign land and miss a lot India and the sence of belonging ..
Friends! I hv minimised friendships because I go out of way to maintain realitions, very softspoken by nature, like to give space in friendships but I m not lucky to find good natured people any more and just looses my peace of mind so I have just stopped doing unnecessary favours to others but do maintain relations if I find sensible people so social circle for me is also not great and I have understood one thing no matter how much people makes show off on Facebook as they have a lot of friends but inside they have lot of problems, hatred feelings so then I feel what's the use of such relations when there is no respect, no love only competition, and jealousy so I don't see any point in keeping unnecessary friendships !!
Now what I do?
I am basically a singer and music keeps me busy, I do read a lot, I always try to explore in my field, I used to work but now only concentrating on music so no matter how much fun you try to get from external things, one is never satisfied, to get the real happiness one has to engage beyond worldly objectives is what I feel,no matter where you are residing!! Hope you didn't find it too long

 

Well, it depends!

I am working... Plus I have two kids at home. Which means, I am already occupied with so many tasks to complete on weekends.
In addition to some special cooking/backing, kid's weekend special home-works etc... I would be having some "me-time" for spa, facials, massage, or even reading/listening to music etc for myself only during weekends.
Then comes for resting time. I ensure I take the afternoon naps peacefully, as I miss it during week-days.
Apart from all this, I get very minimum time to drag myself out for any outings during the weekends.
However, I do go to the mall, movies, shopping, friends/relative's home, parties, church, etc..etc... during weekends depends on need/want basis.
I am not at all bored, rather feel "blessed" to have "no outing" weekends. So that, I could join my whatsapp groups chat (with more intimate friends, who live elsewhere), or invite my folks over the weekend for a family chat at my home.

I don't go to my neighbors house unless there is a reason for the visit. Other than that, we interact with each other in whatsapp or meet at the street to say hi-bye almost daily.
We do meet often during X-mas season, as we are almost free from office works, but going out for shopping.
The next-door neighbor lady get to meet me often, as she can signal me from her kitchen window, so that I would directly speak to her from my home. We share the community's gossips almost daily in the evening!
Some of the neighbors are in our kid's mother's group. So, we meet at the School meetings etc.. or interact with each other for kids.
This way I don't feel bored or left out...

However, after reading your post I feel I may be an odd person here. Because, I really really don't feel bored or left out but I just don't drag myself more than this to be included either.

 

Don't worry, we will not reveal your secret to your hubby

It's the same with everyone everywhere, whether it's India or abroad......you enjoyed your stay in India because you are visiting only for a month and you want to explore everything in that short period, but imagine if you are living there, do you think you will do that every day? it is not possible, once you start living in one place, that becomes as a routine and you will feel bored after sometime, and you will feel new and relaxed when you visit other place, that's it......

 

Maybe you got loads and loads of jaadu ki jhappis as in you were visiting your apne and that too loads of apne only in India.
Your comment reminded me of this song
