From Horns to Hills: Brigadier R.V. Singh’s Life-Changing Move from Delhi to Dehradun

In the heart of Delhi NCR, where car horns scream louder than birdsong and smog hangs heavier than clouds, Brigadier R.V. Singh (Retd.) spent years trying to find calm amidst the chaos.

After decades of distinguished service to the nation, one might expect peace and serenity in retirement. But as Brigadier Singh candidly shares, “Retirement didn’t feel peaceful in Delhi. The noise, the pollution… it was like my body retired, but my mind couldn’t.

That’s when his journey to Dehradun began—a decision rooted not just in practicality, but in a deep emotional need to rediscover health, silence, and a sense of belonging.

The Delhi I Knew Was Disappearing

Brigadier Singh recalls how Delhi used to be: sprawling gardens, crisp winter air, a sense of openness. But over the years, that version faded beneath layers of dust, noise, and concrete.

Why Dehradun? Why Now?

For Brigadier Singh, Dehradun wasn’t just another city. It represented something bigger—a return to nature, to values, to life.

“Dehradun has that rare charm—of stillness, of time moving slower. You see the sky here. You hear the wind. You wake up to hills, not high-rises.”

He began exploring options for a home that reflected his aspirations—not just brick and mortar, but a space filled with greenery, dignity, and tranquility.

That’s when he discovered Windlass River Valley.

Finding a Home, Not Just a House

I didn’t want a home that felt like another apartment block. I wanted community, elegance, and simplicity.”

Brigadier Singh chose Windlass River Valley because it offered everything he was missing in Delhi—peaceful surroundings, world-class amenities, and a sense of respect for nature and residents alike. With luxury flats in Dehradun that combine modern comfort with scenic beauty, his search was over.

One of the moments that truly stood out in his interview was when he spoke about the vibrant, inclusive community at Windlass River Valley.

He noted with pride and warmth that:

“Here, you don’t feel alone. There are children playing, young working professionals, and also people like me—retired, but still very much active. It feels like a complete society.”

That unique blend of generations—kids bringing life, youth bringing energy, and seniors bringing wisdom—creates an atmosphere that’s both dynamic and comforting. It's not just a housing society; it's a harmonious ecosystem, and Brigadier Singh has found his place within it.

In his words:"When I sat on my balcony here for the first time and looked at the mountains, I didn’t just breathe easier—I felt alive again.
