A Life in Three Acts: My Dream Homes Across Time and Place

Daily writing prompt
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?

If you asked me where I’d want to live, I wouldn’t give you a single answer. I’d give you a timeline. Because for me, the question isn’t just where—it’s when. Life unfolds in phases, and each phase deserves its own setting.

Act I: The Explorer’s Heart

When I’m able with energy in my body to move about, I want to travel the world. Not just visit places, but live them.

And while I travel, I want to taste the world—global culinary delights that speak of culture, history, and love. From street food to fine dining, every dish is a passport to someone’s soul.

When the years slow me down and the heart seeks stillness, I’ll return to my native village. That’s where I’ll build my sanctuary.

  • A big house with wide verandas and open skies.
  • A huge farm, where I’ll grow food, raise animals, and nurture peace.
  • Mornings will begin with birdsong, not alarms.
  • Evenings will end with sunsets behind mango trees, not buildings.
    There, I’ll write, reflect, and remember. It’ll be a life well-traveled, now well-tended.

Act III: The Present Pulse

And yet, here I am—living in Bangalore, India.
This city is more than coordinates on a map. It’s home.

  • It hums with ideas and rains with nostalgia.
  • It’s where tech meets tradition, and every street corner holds a memory.
  • It’s where I’ve grown, worked, dreamed, and found my rhythm.
    Bangalore isn’t just where I live. It’s where I belong.

So if you ask me again where I’d live, I’d say:
Everywhere.
But only when the time is right.
