Update - Lonely New Year's Eve in Navi Mumbai - A Heartfelt Rant
My previous [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/navimumbai/s/AnnM2fvvDM) Today isn’t a holiday, and neither is tomorrow. It’s just another relentless six-day workweek with over 9 hours of grind every day. While everyone else is looking forward to celebrating or spending time with loved ones, I’ll be stuck in this routine, staring at the same four walls of my PG. What makes it worse is knowing that this is all I’ve got right now. No friends to check in on me, no family around to share a meal or even a conversation, and no one to ask, “How’s your day?” Back home, at least there was warmth, familiarity, and people who cared, even if I didn’t see them often. Here, it’s just emptiness, day after day. I didn’t even know until recently that I’d only get one day off in a month. When I told my friends about it, they laughed for five minutes straight. And why wouldn’t they? They joined new companies in our hometown, earning better salaries, enjoying five-day workweeks, and even getting 10 days of paid leave. Meanwhile, I’m here in a city that doesn’t feel like home, doing a job that leaves me too exhausted to even think about improving my situation. It’s hard not to feel like I made a huge mistake coming here. The hope I had when I moved—of building a life, making connections, or finding happiness—feels like a distant dream now. I’m not even sure what I’m holding onto anymore. Maybe tomorrow will just be another day where I fall asleep by 11, pretending it’s not New Year’s Eve because it feels easier than facing the reality of how lonely I’ve become.3
