I wanted to build my dream house near to Mount Kailash, so there we have a very good environmental structure and pure water and cold climate always and my house must be surrounded with nice trees, plants and some of icebergs as well as I would like to have a lot of pets in my house especially cats. I have affinity to rice cats especially for their reflections and cuteness. I would like to live there whenever I get my vacations occasionally. So, I think since I am a devotee of Lord Shiva, building my house near Mount Kailash often gives me a rich chance to worship Him daily.

I personally wanted my dream house to be in a hill station instead of a city or town. A hill station where no one is around me. So that I can have my personal space. I am basically an introvert person. So I like to be alone. Not only that, in a hill station I like the climate. The climate won't be so cold and sometimes it won't be so hot during the summer. And I want a cozy place as my house. A cozy place with my own chimney and a TV plus a kitchen. Which is incorporated with my hall. So that I can just cook and I can watch TV directly from my kitchen. I have a habit of cooking. I love cooking. So that is my kind of place. And I don't want my house to be so big and huge. No. I just want a single bedroom home for a small family. It should just fit me and my wife and my child. That's it. Simple living. I prefer a simple living over a luxurious lifestyle. And I want more like an environment friendly place. I don't want a polluted place. Usually in a station where no one is around it would be very environment friendly. And I want to see a lot of animals around me. I am basically an animal lover. So a dog plus a house which is my kind of cup of tea. I would say. Apart from that I would definitely hope if there is a lake beside me. That would be a very good thing. Because basically I am a swimmer. So that would go good with my house.

My dream house is located in the heart of Ernakulam, which is the central city of Kerala. So I have visited Ernakulam in the month of November and I have an opportunity to visit an honorable person and philanthropist Mr. Kochaosev Chittarapalli, who is the owner of Wanderla Homes and at that time he is building something incredible called Wanderla Homes. It is a flat property and the main features of that building is that each floor consists only one flat. Only 7 story is the building and only 7 people can buy that house. I was stunned by the interior as well as the exterior quality and I think this building has got one of the prestigious award that it is made up of biodegradable materials and the house is surrounded by a vast amount of plants and trees. So it is one of the most ideal places to live in and I have a vision in myself that I will be a customer of Wanderla Homes in the next 10 years and I would like to purchase this property and move my family from Trivandrum to Ernakulam. Basically, I think that it is helpful for my sister's higher education also. So, that's it.
