Why is it always difficult to get rid of something as trivial as a withered flower or a pen that no longer writes or anything that has some close significance to you?
I was de-cluttering my shelf today, and I found a sizable number of a myriad of things that I didn't want to throw away.Ranging from old slam books, post-it pages, a few diaries to broken stationary, a ripped toy and lots more... The things that I did not want to throw away seemed to outgrow in number than the things that I actually did part with. As I flip my old diaries, I can almost visualize myself living in those moments and the transitional change that I've undergone. I also got hold of a few tapes in which the conversation between my cousins had been recorded. I was almost ROTFL when I heard their squeaky voices and not to leave out my guffaw and snide remarks in between.
The broken or useless branded goodies might clutter my house, but the memories that I can associate with each one of those paraphernalia is absolutely priceless.
very nice piece of writing :) usage of sentences, narration skills and surprisingly the title all are good...

ReplyDeleteyesh yesh you are right
ReplyDeleteAbru,
ReplyDeletehehe :)
Manoj,
u agree for a change eh?
Its not so easy to part away with things that so close 2 the heart..esp the senti ones! However I am learning & trying to get rid of things as much as possible - so that i can avoid the extra kuppai & @ the same time giving away things that r no longer of much use to me but that it wud be of use 2 others :)
