Because that is at least as likely to mean "I walk at home" or
"I walk in the home". It's certainly not as clearly expressed
as the {juH vIghoS; jIyIt} that charghwI' suggested. Although
one might be able to interpret the two sentences as indicating
a sequence, the important idea of going home is unmistakable.
To be more certain of being understood, one could make one of
the sentences into a clause tied to the other one:
juH vIghoStaHvIS jIyIt.
juH vIghoS jIyIttaHvIS.
juH vIghoSmeH jIyItlI'.
jIyIttaHmo' juH vIghoSlI'.
