Since we shifted to Panchkula in 1997, I have been captivated by its tranquil charm and lush greenery. As an artist, I find solace in its serenity, a perfect backdrop for creative contemplation. In those early years, this satellite city was still evolving, often relying on Chandigarh for many necessities.

Residing in Sector 6, surrounded by verdant landscapes and open spaces, I recall a visit from a dear friend, Donovan Wodehouse, who is an actor based in Mumbai. Admiring the natural beauty, he remarked, “Luxury living can be redefined here.” His fascination with our two thriving mango trees in the backyard prompted yet another visit …this time, to indulge in the organic fruits and revel in the pristine air here.

Today, Panchkula is evolving into a hub of premium housing, with affluent communities thriving and fostering a culture of aspirational living. Emerging commercial spaces are shaping the city's future, making it a coveted address for those seeking a comfortable lifestyle without compromising on the essence of nature.

Chetan Sood, Panchkula
