Minimalist living

I started 2026 with a simple realisation while standing in front of a pile of clothes. This goal grew from wanting more mental space, fewer things to manage, and a healthier relationship with shopping.

A minimalist lifestyle with kids may seem like a contradiction in terms. But, with some effort and patience, it is possible, and wholly worth it.

Initially, the family would take weekend trips to Sakleshpur, the quaint hill station in Karnataka known for its plantations and coffee, and live in tents inside the jungle.
