A brand New start ---- Moving!

Countless number of packed boxes ready to move !

I never knew moving can be so tedious. Last couple of weeks I have been busy in planning, packing, making to-do-list and crossing each item after finishing them. This to-do-list seemed an endless job. How busy I was, that you might have noticed by my sporadic posts these days.

Now the good news is that I have finally moved and now there is another endless to-do-list of unpacking. Choosing appropriate place for each item needs lots of planning and brooding. Every item has to be in the right place to look pretty and show your sense of taste .Not being an internal decorator, the process of setting each item at proper place took me several attempts and finally I found a sweet place for each item. However, this will keep going for a couple of few more weeks, of course at an easy pace.

However, the most surprising thing is that in this moving process, I discovered few brand new muscles in my body :)), which I thought never, existed. Such as ,I had no idea that my arms have so strong muscles, my body has so much endurance power of working like a labor for non stop 19 hours and above all I have so high metabolism and finally I have this huge appetite. This whole week I have been eating like a glutton. I work for two hours and then sit down, rest and eat, then start again and then again eat ------and that goes on and on and on----

The next thing that I discovered was some useful household items, which I had forgotten long, time back. Apparently, I had no idea that in these few years I have gathered so many things. I have kept not only useful items but also kept plenty of useless items too in a hope that I will need them in future. I realized that I have a problem in throwing away garbage and useless things. Because it is clear, that the things, which I did not use for years, I will never use them again. Perhaps I have become a garbage queen.

When I was in India, I grew up in the same house where I was born. When I would see tenants moving out or moving in I would envy them .In my mind they were having a great deal of fun by moving from one place to another. I would always fight with my mother for not moving to another house ever and have the same fun. Being stupid, enough never occurred to me that we live in our own house and that people have to go through lots of hassle in moving process. After this first experience, the scene of moving experience has become clear in my mind, which is no fun anymore.

As a result, I have made few resolutions. Primarily I am not going to buy any thing in this new apartment. Nonetheless, if I really have to buy ,then before doing that I will think at least several times as without that item I can survive or not. If I get a “no” answer, buying plan cancel. Secondly ,I will do clean up operation frequently to get rid of all the use less items .And lastly change my habit of being so fond of garbage .

I think for now this is enough and hopefully I will stick to my resolutions.

Now let me go and do some more unpacking.
