Ever since I was a kid, my family moved a lot and the thing about moving between so many different cities is that your life starts to lack stability and this instability starts to seep into your personal life and relationships. Luckily, I am settled with my family in the urban landscape of New Delhi but somehow I realized that there’s still this void in our happy family life which I wasn’t able to pinpoint until a few weeks ago. Despite having this barren question there was one thing I was insistent on, that is providing my senior parents the stability that life deprived them of. So, I started to look into places I could invest in for my parents to spend the rest of their lives in pure bliss.
Investment is no child’s play, it could be a daunting task but I am grateful to one of my colleagues who introduced me to Chester Hills (Solan) as one of the leading contenders for the investment and invited me to join him on his business trip to Solan. Even though I had been to Solan a couple of times I never thought of having my parents live there. Taking a leap of faith I went along with him.
To my surprise, the place was beyond what I imagined and the pictures online don’t do justice to the magnificence of the place. An upscale gated community in the lush hills of Kasauli might just be the perfect place for my parents to heal from the tiring endeavors they took their entire life.
The interiors were magnificent, spacious rooms, larger-than-usual windows with natural ample light, sliding doors expanding living spaces and maximizing veranda, balconies opening up to unobstructed breathtaking views of the hills, and the markets and local outlets in the vicinity truly made it stand out from the rest of the options I looked into.
What surprised me the most was the plethora of amenities alongside picturesque landscapes and how people there get to experience the best of both worlds without having to compromise on anyone. I felt the most grounded and connected to my higher self at the splendid Landscape Park which felt like the perfect place for senior citizens to spend their time at. Moreover, the Meditation Center which constitutes a pergola structure over a pond with a fountain in the middle along with the Yoga Circles and the Exercise Stations could be the perfect place to keep one’s mind and body healthy. The community of like-minded people can contribute to the amazing overall atmosphere.
After returning from the trip, I couldn’t hold my excitement in and discussed this with my parents and even though their refusal was straightforward, I could tell that they were extremely proud of the person I have become today and this heartfelt offer made them teary. After a few discussions, I have finally made up my mind to buy a Flat in Solan (Chester Hills)
My entire life my parents never made me feel the lack anything, they gave me all the luxuries, and now more than ever, after their retirement, it’s time that I take care of their well-being in their golden years. Visiting Chester Hills gave me a sense of security that my old folks will be well taken care of and can thrive in their retirement cum vacation home. I have never felt more sure about such a big decision in my life and I feel like this could be the best gift I can offer my parents so that they can peacefully live and heal away from the oversaturated environment of metro cities. This is my Chester story. What’s yours?
