    The time when I shifted to my new home is nearly 2015. It was the year we shifted to the new place. My new house was a duplex so I was very excited to shift into the house. Before that we used to stay in an apartment where there are 10 flats for a floor. Actually there are many friends in an apartment as it's a gated community. I used to have a lot of time pass. Then later even as it's a rent house, my parents started to think about the new house. So we shifted to the new house in the year 2015. When I came to know that I am shifting to the new house, I shared my feelings with all of my friends and I am also missing the camaraderie that I felt at that time. Many of my friends are staying in the rent houses, rent flats. They also go to their own, they ask for their parents that even we will shift to the new house. Mandeep is shifting to the new house. That's the thing. So my new house is located 5-10 km from my old house only. It was easy to settle to school and college. So even for my parents it is easy to settle to offices. My house has a different unique interior designer. It was designed by Mr. Amir Hadi. He was one of the famous designers in Hyderabad. It was designed in a unique style where we took the steps in a different way. No one even thinks about it.

    We moved to a new home when my father has bought a brand new bungalow in our own city. So I think it was on my 18th birthday when we shifted to our new house. Initially it was a bit difficult because adjusting there to the new textures, interiors. We need to fix our mind first. Initially I was not even happy for shifting into the new home because the old home has so much of memories associated with my childhood. But still it took a long time to process. The reason why we shifted to this home is because we are a family of four and the old house which we lived in consists of only two bedrooms, which was not sufficient to us. In order for an extended space, we decided to come to this new bungalow. So after coming to this bungalow, the transition was not so happy. Even the house was big. I felt that house has so much of memories and I felt comfortable in that house. But the great thing this house offers is It has wide rooms, a great balcony and a nice coffee area where I can make my own coffee and I can bake chips. It's basically a baking room. And the other thing I liked about this modular kitchen, which is same as before.

    Nowadays in India, a lot of people buy new houses and today I would like to talk about a house that me and my parents bought back in 2017 and the house was located in sector 117 Mohali and it was in a society called Ekmey Heights Extension 2. The house was a 4BHK penthouse and we moved in on September 21, 2017. Me and my parents and my two sisters were very excited as it was our first own house. We were all excited the day before and we couldn't sleep. Also, the house consisted of furniture and many chandeliers. The chandelier was a modern type and we purchased it from a market called sector 17 and the furniture was purchased from a company called Home Center. The furniture was classical and the ceilings and the wallpapers were all modern type so it was the most good feeling that me and my parents had and we were all emotional because it was one of our own and the first house that we bought.

    I would like to describe a time when I moved to a new home. It happened about two years ago when my family shifted to a bigger and more comfortable apartment in Pune, which is in Maharashtra. The house we moved into is a three-bedroom apartment located in a modern residential complex. It is spacious and well-ventilated with large windows that allow plenty of sunlight. The apartment has a small balcony where we can sit and enjoy a morning tea. The building has also many facilities like a garden, gym and a swimming pool, which we didn't have in our old house. We moved because our previous home was getting too small for our needs. Earlier, we lived in a small two-bedroom flat, which was fine when I was younger. But as I grew older, my parents realized that we needed more space, especially since I needed a separate room to study. Additionally, my parents wanted to live in a better neighborhood that was closer to my school and my father's workplace. After searching for a few months, we finally found this apartment, which was perfect for us. The process of moving was both exciting and challenging. On one hand, I was happy about shifting to a new home with more space and better amenities. I was excited to decorate my new room and organize my things just the way I wanted. On the other hand, leaving our old home was a little emotional because I had so many childhood memories attached to it. I remember feeling a bit sad when I packed my belongings and said goodbye to my neighborhood and friends. However, once we settled into a new house, I started to feel very happy and comfortable. I loved my new room and the complex had many open spaces where I could play and relax.

    Before coming to our new home we used to live in a village which is about 13 km away from New Delhi which is the capital of India. But in 2011 we shifted to our new house which is in Sonipat which was very close to Delhi and it is located in sector 14 Sonipat. It was in 2011 when we moved over there but we started the construction way before that and it was built around 500 square feet and we decided to build our new home because of two main reasons and the primary reason for that was because of my education my father decided to move to a town where I can get good education which would help me in my future and secondly it was that the environment in the village was not very good and it would have affected me and my mind and which would not be good for me and my mind. So therefore we decided to move from there and then we shifted to our new home which is according to me is very nice as it consists of a garden and a parking area and we also have a badminton court in our own house and our house was built with my own father's hard work money as it was built around the worth of one crore and it was all

    Moving to a new house was a bittersweet experience for me. There were good memories attached to me from that particular house that I was living in back in the day, but also some acrimonious ones. Well, I moved from a 2BHK to a 3BHK apartment 5 years ago, and the reason why we moved to a new house was because it was well ventilated and we needed a good neighborhood to live in. Also, I earlier used to live with my grandmother, and since she passed away, we felt like that house started to haunt us, which is why we always wanted to get out of there. But the new things that the new house brought in for us was just overwhelming, and it provided me with a sense of calm and composure. It was imbued with a sense of positivity. The new house has a trail of trees running across the road, which insulates our house from the sound that comes from the main road. The people around in the neighborhood are very friendly, and we always tend to celebrate all the festivals together, which gives me a feeling of being loved and always protected.

    I will be talking about the time when I moved to a new home. Thankfully, I had to move to my new home after 3 years because my old building was going under redevelopment. After coming back to my old building which was new now, I was shifted to a high floor. All my father's and mother's savings were put up in the new flat that we had moved to. We were so lucky to get a good house in Shivaji Park which is closer to the sea. And I am so fortunate that my floor was on the highest side of the apartment where the sea view was genuinely so beautiful and I could really see the skyline of Mumbai very well. But again with that, as everyone would say that this is such a great view, I had 2 things in my mind. First, the responsibility to maintain it because as it is difficult to get at the top, it is very difficult to maintain to be at the top. And as my mom and my dad had provided me with this luxurious life, it is my duty now to stay there and give the same kind of life for my children as well. It is very blissful to stay in a house where I get to view the sea when I wake up. The sea or the ocean makes my heart lighter and it makes me feel very positive in the morning because as soon as you get up, it is something to look forward to. And it gives a hope because I will tell you one story. There was a person who was really sad in his life because of his personal problems. And he used to live in a house which had no windows. His brother took him to a house with windows and within 15 days, that person was positively happy because he could see the world outside. Similarly, if we can see the world outside, this is very beneficial for our mental health.
