I am not a minimalist

My recent trip to India, I purchased a lot of tiny things from street vendors. I had a very tough time with the new currency notes. I couldn’t distinguish the difference between a 200 rupee note and a 500 rupee note! So when I gave a wrong note the vendor returned to me letting me know of the mistake. Every day morning I come down the stairs, I remember this incident as I see the tiny elephants.

I completely acknowledge minimalist lifestyle. But it is not for everyone. For a person like me who struggles with so many every day things, I need these small souvenirs. A picture blown up, a wall hanging or a cup in a showcase all pushes my day and the struggles I face!

Anyhow I am not for buying things and putting in storage or hiding it in the closet! 😊

The tiny elephants match my son’s icecream sundae puzzle on the wall

  2. I almost had a chance to visit India in 2007. I was supposed to travel for work, but I had some health issues serious enough for this to be a concern, so the relevant colleague from India came to Israel instead.

    Since then I thought of visiting again, but I’ve heard too many people concerned about women’s safety there in recent years, especially non – Indian women. Is this an issue?

    1. I didn’t travel alone anywhere. But my friend took her kids to Tajmahal. She said it was good! For us South Indians traveling North is like going to another country.just need to get the right travel agency. Again I am not familiar with it.
