So my friend (junior) recently called me up. Family issues, barely passing in the exams, and what not- he was so frustrated. But guess this wasnt the reason he called me up for...
Turns out his roommate talks endlessly late in the nights, never cleans his stuff and shit.. they both are living in a shared flat since pgs and hostels were too shady or he just didnt really know which one to choose. the bigger problem is they both share the kitchen and as you could guess it, his roommate is quite messy, leaving the food uncovered, and stuff i cant even share here. and honestly? I've heard this exact story like 2-3 times now. even i myself had a hard time while finding a suitable pg, let alone a roommate.
The whole thing made me realize — there's genuinely no proper way to find a roommate who actually matches your vibe. Sleep schedule, cleanliness, budget, college. You're basically just gambling.
And the WORST part is- i was so chill at this time thinking- "abhi to college start bhi nahi hua..jab hoga tab dekhenge" and i was so wrong..it was definitely not easy.
finding a decent PG itself is a mess. You can't properly compare places, reviews are all over the place, and don't even get me started on food. most have no clue about tiffin services, pg sucks, ordering food sounds better until you fell ill.
Most of these problems sound to stereotypical and common yet every new batch just jumps into the already dug hole.
this just how it is? Has anyone actually found a decent way to sort all this — good place, good food, compatible roommate? Maybe a platform? dealers are just hungry for money.
