I have decided that....

I am gonna be a Minimalist...God, the pain of packing all those stuff to move from Hyderabad to Bangalore, most of which I did not even use...that is when the thought occurred to me, that embracing minimalism will be a good one. But then when I reached Bangalore and saw all those luggage and when I started to unpack them... well that is when my thought turned to a decision. Don't hold me to it in the near future though. But I am really really gonna try that. I don't even understand my need to buy these books any more because I read mostly in my iPad, but still I go and buy those books. I am usually a very bad shopper and will not shop especially for clothes but suddenly I have around 25-30 set of clothes, whereas I used to have only 15 max every time. How nice it was to have one suitcase which had my essentials and I lived almost 3 weeks only with those and I could have continued to live with those alone for quite some time. But seeing all those things (and most of them are two in number because I maintained two homes for almost 6 months now) gaaaah...I don't know know what to do now. I don't want to recharge my digital TV (whose account has expired for almost 6 months now and I get daily calls from the company on why I am not recharging it) because I don't watch it anymore. I use my internet facility almost for everything.

My first order of this month (or what ever is remaining of it) is to clean up this mess. Coming home to a leaking roof, a soap filled suitcase (all the soap from a new packet of handwash that I had shipped got spilled in the suitcase, but thankfully most of the damage was to the umbrella and some towels, both of which are washable. I dread to think what would have happened to the books that lay above them), and to all these luggage lying around, I am so tired of just seeing these. This is one of the reason that I don't like changing....its like my work environment, everything is comfortable, cozy, adjustable...so no need to look for a change. And when I do, I see how much luggage I carry (not only physically...)... I am a materialist, I love having things that give me comfort, but now that has gone a little bit too much. Ok..now I am gonna start with dumping up all the unwanted clothes and bring back the count to 15. See ya...
