In linux everything is considered as file, Now if I want to find only folders/directories not the files then how can i do that?

I am getting all the modified files with the following command.

find /Users/ghanshyam -type f -mmin -5 -print

My goal is to generate the log file with all the modified/access folders. Here two options are available.

• create a module and call every time when a folder is modified (this one is bit difficult
  because I need to check particular event)

• create a cron task that will run after every 5 minutes. cron task will execute shell
  script and generate the log entries with the modified folders.

Do you have any other option to do this task ?
