Diwali is the perfect time to declutter, organize your home and share things with people less privileged than you and make their festivities special. Tidying and organising have now become the latest trend- the KonMari way. We tried it to clean our children’s toys and we must confess- it worked like a charm.
In what started off as a tedious process- the end result was totally worth it! From kitchen to wardrobe to toys and books, we have started KonMari-ing every little thing in the house, and I am able to see the difference. But the bigger worry for Indian parents is the lack of space to keep the stuff you are willing to give away (and maybe before you change your mind!)
Fret not- we have put together a list of the best places in the city you can give away your stuff to in Mumbai, so you hit two birds in one stone. You have a clean and organised house and at the end of the day- you feel good to donate some of your closest stuff to help bring joy in other’s lives.
Go ahead and do a good deed, this week.
