Products that’ll help you achieve ‘Aatmanirbhar’

Ever since our Prime Minister‘s speech, the term ‘Aatmanirbhar’ is trending everywhere. For those of you who still need to figure out the meaning, it means self-reliant or being independent. So, we have come to your rescue by curating a list of must-have products for the modern-day millennial who is living away from home. 

 

A. FIRST-AID KIT

Safety first. Always, especially since you are living alone. You never know when a vegetable cutting session can turn gruesome. An antiseptic, a few bandages, essential tablets and drugs, etc make up a good first-aid kit. There are cases where a good kit has saved lives as well. So, that is the first essential on our list.

 

B. FOOD – RICE COOKER

Now, as much as we love cold pizza and beer, that is, sadly, not healthy enough. And so, presenting you the quintessential Rice Cooker. Cook anything from boiling water (Seriously, start there) to cooking a full meal of pulav (or maggi). An ideal bachelor mate.

 

C. DECOR – Tapestry, Painters, Lights, candles, plants, etc

Make yourself home! This is the most important tip in the entire list. Even if its a small room or apartment, give the place life. Plants and fairy lights are our go-to! For a bit of a masculine vibe, posters help too. Decorating your room would have you appreciate and respect your space and not dread going back to bed alone. 

 

D. ENTERTAINMENT – Books, Games, OTT platforms

Please do not overestimate the hours you can spend on your phone. You need some other means to pass time sometimes. Books are our best-friends too; at the least, they’ll help you fall asleep. Further, if budget allows, subscription to platforms such as Netflix and Prime is a good bet too. And your pad is a host to friends and parties, cards and board games are absolutely delightful! 

 

E. WASHROOM ESSENTIALS – Air Fresheners, Toilet Cleaners, etc

No, we are not talking about toothbrushes and soaps. Washroom air has a tendency to get dingy and foul; and that is where our air fresheners come in. Additionally, toilet rim cleaners and the likes of it keeps your closet sparkling. Also add wipers and other brushes for the hygiene enthusiasts amongst us, at your discretion!
