I am a retired male. I have a lot of hobbies to keep myself engaged, viz, playing musical instruments like the guitar, keyboard, flute, bongo, mouthorgan and the harmonium. I teach music and calligraphy. I am also a member of "Postcrossing" an organisation which facilitates exchange of picture postcards all over the world. I am a philatelist and a numismatist. I read English newspaper every day and watch T.V. Programs. I live in bangalore which is a very quiet small city, so quiet that I get bored sometimes. Most of the time my wife goes out in the evening to meet her sister and brothers, leaving me alone in my flat in the evenings, when I feel the pangs of loneliness. I was born and brought up in Chennai and shifted base to bangalore only a decade ago. I want your advice to overcome the loneliness.

You have a great passion of being engaged. But you have forgotten the purpose of life. You should read "BHAGWAD GITA" try to understand what it says or what it means I think you have no problems that you have to take medicines. Why do you think you are alone, think Nature has provided you an opportunity to be with GOD try to MEDITATE. Enjoy the NATURE.
