I just realised that my plans for dandya night is ruined because of my layoff.

RANT/VENT

I have been working in Gurgaon and recently got laid off. A few weeks ago I had learnt that my ex company was planning a dandya night and I was really looking forward to it.

I have never been a part of such event and didn't plan to go home for dussera and Diwali but enjoy here. But now I'll spend my time alone in my room preparing and giving interviews, while my parents think that I'm doing my job.

It just feels sad and lonely. I thought to meet people through Misfits, but everything is so costly, every meet is over ₹200. I woke up a while ago and started having all these thoughts, and honestly had the urge to text my ex, but thankfully I didn't.

Sometimes I feel angry at my parents for their poor financial decisions, but then, I should not be dependent on them in any way, especially during my 20s
