Top Ten Modern Luxuries I Can’t Live Without

Shoutout to Tooth Truth Roopa Vikesh for your list. Your list made me think how much I appreciate Hot Water!!! It features TWICE in my list. Especially since it is still winter in western UP and quite cold!

1. Hot water on tap in winter. Hot water in every form, in showers, for baths, for drinking in cups in winter. To make green tea. To dissolve coffee cubes in. To wash clothes. To wash utensils

2. Hot water baths in the summer. Yes, hot water forms two points on the list because I can’t live without hot water.

3. My kindle. I am a reader. My form of relaxation is to read. I usually don’t fall asleep unless I unwind by reading something. A kindle is the easiest way to carry books around. Even heavy books have the same weight as the kindle.

4. Coffee cubes. As a coffee lover, I have tried all types of coffee, from filter to Nespresso. Hassle-free flavored coffee, which keeps me alert, is what I like best. I loved Nespresso when I could find it. But coffee cubes, which dissolve and form flavored strong coffee, are close enough to Nespresso in my ranking.
