In re: My advice to people who live alone.

Many people living alone spend festive days like today at the homes of relatives & friends to avoid being alone. This creates social liabilities. 

My advice to such people: SUFFER the boredom. Do NOT get socially indebted. 
I followed this when I lived alone & remained socially debt free.

PS: The social loan marketing line which I never fell for - 'अकेले क्या करोगे? आ जाओ!'
