Ten Reasons I Want to Live on My Own

1. I want to cook my own food.

2. I want to grow flowers, fruits, vegetables and herbs on my window without anybody telling me not to. I want to keep indoor plants in my toilet, bathroom and at the door. I want to make rangolis or light diyas at the door all year round.

3. I want to have a pet bird- Perch and its pal Vinca.


At this time there were butterflies all over the window!
4. I want to shift to an organic life. Organic food. Soap nuts to wash clothes, use earthen and wooden cooking ware etc. 

5. I want to mop and sweep my floor. I want to clean my own bathrooms with a home made safe detergent. (Neem+ Lemongrass oil+ Effective Microbes)

6. I really really want to make compost in two big jars. I want to use cocopeat and toss the soil whenever I want to air the roots.

7. I want to host my friends. I want one friend of mine to live with me for a while at least when she is extremely stressed. I also want to return the kindness that others have shown when I am in their homes. 

8. I want privacy. 

9. I want to structure my life according to what I want- washing clothes, utensils, cooking etc exactly when and how I want. I want a big board or a wall where I post my thoughts and make my plans. I want to hang my pictures on the walls. I want to read and work without having something else waiting for me.

10. I want to feel like a better person.

Go! Get a new house! How much more to wait?!

When you move to a new one, call me over, okay?

(You didn't talk of handloom curtains and rugs and candles and painting the walls yourself - these are quintessentially spinster-ish)

I will gift you some really cool cushion covers, yaar! With owls on them :D :D For watchful wisdom :P

The nameplate? Let DD manage that.

And you can hang festoons and art-craft stuff prepared by your kids all around the house.

Oh ho! When will you move out??
