Staying away from home town as a part of job has both advantages and disadvantages. Advantage is that you never get time or opportunity to interfere in the problems or privacy of your relatives or neighbours. You are getting more privacy in your life. Also, you get royal treatment whenever you return home. But the disadvantage is, in a strange city you have to live among a group of strangers, no get-togethers and hence often feel lonely. Yet, let me ask you...Which life do you prefer.....working/staying in home town or in another place?

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:

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

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.

Some of my friends get so much homesick that they will go home frequently for a day or two. But I don't think one can enjoy the home atmosphere satisfactorily in just a day or two. Even after their return to work place, they cannot adjust themselves properly.

Its a tricky question. All depends upon your priorities and , the needs of your family. Some times we have to sacrifice our personal growth for our family...

I never liked staying away from hometown during the festivals. Some of my college mates avoided going home and celebrated with friends.
