Do you prefer to stay away from your home town?

Sandhya i won't like to stay away from my home town for a job that's the reason I have on the same job since last 6~7 years though I got lots of good offers but only thing was they were all away from my home town that's why I never accepted them.I know one has to leave his/her love for home if he/she wants to grow professionaly but that's our choice what we prefer job or family. :blink:

I remember the first time I had to go out of my home for four years I cried and shed almost buckets of tears. But later the city I moved to gave me friends that made my stay wonderful and lively. :cheer: By the end of three years I found that I loved being outside more than at home because I enjoyed the privacy and freedom I had.

Even I stayed away from home for almost 10 years , 4 years for studies and rest 6 years for a job. No doubt I also enjoyed that phase a lot but not now when i have my own family ad when my parents have grown old and need support from me. :blink:

You can take your family also, the same way we are doing....
We are shifting from one place to another from NOvember 1st 2007, 7-8 months after our marriage as shifting is a part of everyone's job.

That's the problem...even if we invite our parents to stay with us, they prefer to stay in their home town, though they are ready to stay away from their children

My father would never like to leave hometown because of many reasons and main reason being a retired government employee may be he won't be able to get benefits of mediclaims which he is getting at present.Second reason because of the property we have 4 shops nearby home which we have given on rent so that will be a problem if we shift somewhere else leaving these.Many more reasons like my younger brothers are also doing jobs in Delhi,elder brother has his own bussiness here so he won't go along with me when he has to see his all kids. :blink:

since 1983, I am at my home town. Before that, I served at various places in government service. I had no difficulty anywhere. I felt homely at every station. In fact, people in the entire country are alike. If you are not home sick, it matters little where you work.

yet can you tell me, which one you like most?

The best thing about working/studying outside your hometown is that we get a good opportunity to learn something about that place- the culture, the people, cuisine etc. So, I have always tried to enjoy myself wherever I go.

Really a nice answer Jabeen
You have really quoted something different from others :)

In my case, before marriage I have never travelled much.
But after marriage, 5 shifts already. Yes, I studied a lot of new things and mingled with a lot of new people as I shifted from one place to other.
From Southern Kerala, reached middle Kerala. Now only Northern Kerala left

I actually like travelling and visiting new places. But when we visit a place as a tourist, because of limited time we normally look out for the things which is famous in that place so miss out the other less famous things but which adds essence to the place. so actually I prefer to know the place by staying there for sometime. So what better way than work there?? :)

I prefer to stay away from home
one of the main reasons is that I am from a really small town and the opportunities here are near to zero
However I will come back once or twice a month
If I have long break I can come back and spend time with them

Also, I noticed that most of my female friends prefer to stay near home
while most of my male friends prefer to stay away from home :laugh:

advantage of frequent shifting is that we never feel bored with a particular place :woohoo: :woohoo:

I can stay away from my home town but I cannot stay away from my home. That is more difficult from me.

Yes I also think so,I can leave home town but not family.

Those persons who are now staying at home town says, "I can't leave".
But, if they stay outside, they will say, "I won't come back"..hi hi

Staying away from home makes you to learn to be flexible and instills in-dependency in you. A spoon fed child can learn how to live on his/her own if he/she stays out of home for a period of time.

Even I too make a regular visit at my hometown two three times a year. Instead of making short and frequent visit to my hometown, I try to make few but of longer duration visit. :)
