Hi !! Happy Vishu / Tamil puthandu vaazhthukkal to all ;)  Vishu has always been a sweet memory in my mind .

Sometimes we get snake gourd if we are lucky .Konna Poo ( yellow flower ) need not say we just pluck it from the trees .

  Hello ! How are you all doing ? I am happy to know many people from my previous post . Thank you .  Today I just thought of writing about living with needed items . What is your view on minimalism ? Everywhere it’s minimalist videos and related videos .  Are you a minimalist ? Have you heard about this concept in younger days ? How was life then ?  If you are a minimalist how did you start the journey ?
