89‑Year‑Old Retired IPS Officer from Haryana Wins Hearts With Delightful Tour of His Bengaluru 1‑BHK Home
At an age when many choose quiet routines, Kartar Singh Tomar is proving that joy and zest for life don’t fade with years. The 89‑year‑old retired IPS officer from Haryana has become a social media favourite after sharing a heartwarming guided tour of his Bengaluru residence in a video posted by Manasum Senior Living.
Clad in a bright orange kurta and a traditional Himachali cap, Tomar greeted viewers with infectious cheer and confidence, as though he were a practiced content creator. “For the first time, I am making a vlog of my flat,” he cheerfully explained before leading the camera through every corner of his 1‑BHK apartment.
For Tomar, the house reflects more than just walls and furniture — it’s a place of comfort and contentment. “I am Kartar Singh Tomar, retired IPS from Haryana Cadre. I’m about 89 years old and thoroughly enjoying life… this is my 1 BHK flat where I spend all my time, and for me, it feels like heaven,” he shared.
Each space in the apartment received thoughtful attention in the video. The living area, serving both as a sitting room and a bedroom with a sofa‑cum‑bed, also doubles up for dining and as his study. He proudly pointed out the kitchen’s modern and uncluttered design, where he handles his daily needs with ease.
One feature that particularly impressed him was the anti‑skid bathroom flooring, which he praised as a “wonderful addition” for ensuring safety — especially important for older individuals. In the bedroom, he demonstrated how the large glass windows usher in refreshing breezes, making fans unnecessary.
Tomar also spoke about why he chose Bengaluru as his home for retirement — a move that brought him tranquility. From his balcony, surrounded by lush greenery and distant from city noise and pollution, he said, “So peaceful — no pollution, no noise at all.” The calmness of his surroundings clearly means a great deal to him.
The video struck a chord with online viewers, inspiring many with its simple celebration of independence and happiness. One commenter summed up the sentiment well, “What a joyous spirit! This is living life to the fullest.” Another Instagram user offered warm words, “Sir, respect and regards from a younger colleague.”
Kartar Singh Tomar’s gentle, spirited home tour is a reminder that a home’s value is not measured by its size but by the peace, independence, and joy it brings — no matter how many years one has lived.
