Life on an island..

So many people think that living life on an island is so easy. The sun and the sand, and the crystal blue waters seem more than ok enough. The beautiful views, the landscape and even the good food seem heavenly.

But is it really?

As a born and bred in an island let me tell you, it is NOT.

Here are the reasons why

1. EVERYONE is related to you- someone you meet at the meat section at a grocery shop happens to talk to you, and she is your grandmother’s auntie’s sister’s cousin’s daughter. Seriously.
2. There isn’t really room for a getaway: you could be in the most far off part of the island in a abandoned wilderness with wild elephants, you will definitely run it to a friend of your parents.
3.  If you are single and is in the age of being hunted as marriage material- EVERYONE THAT MOVES FROM THE OPPOSITE SEX IS A MARRIAGE PROPOSAL
4. You break up, hook up, get divorced, get married, has a child, gets in to a car accident- EVERYONE KNOWS within seconds, to the point you will have it on your Facebook account. This I guess isn't so bad- so you don’t have to give anyone bad news about yourself. BUT on the flip side you laugh, you fart, you fall, you cry, you swear-EVERYONE KNOWS within seconds and this will go up on your Facebook wall!
5. Everyone at any given point of time in the day is like PMS-ing. Either its angry cars hooting at tuks, or it’s the corporate boss waiting in line at the grocery shop for the old lady to pay, it’s the frustrated workers, or the maniacs at work who just don’t shut up, and I mean the list goes on. Everyone at every minute of the day is having an overload of emotions.

Apparently it’s the heat!
