lately I've been mesmerized by the whole tiny house movement, and have spent/wasted/enjoyed time watching youtube videos of mini spaces. my fascination is probably deeper now that I'm in India... now I'm almost jealous of people who tailor their homes to their living style and daily schedule alone; who don't bother about guests, and most importantly, who need no house-help to maintain their living spaces (read no one to spoil and mess up their homes). and then guess what, I found a small group of tiny houses in India, where I'd least expected them. but more than that, I found a maverick Indian guy who built a house out of shipping containers (although not so tiny, this one). pretty cool, I'd say. and the narrator who covered this story hit the nerve when she said: "the biggest barrier" (to adoption and emulation of this idea) "is perhaps psychological"! as with all new ideas in India.... (sigh). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bh59v6dM9Os
