Spandanangal :_ January,2015 I used to go through all my possessions-[(I have a strange way of collecting things which others may find crazy, but to me precious) like news paper cuttings, wishing cards sent by children years back, their school diaries, beautifully shaped or colourful stones or pebbles and tree leaves( mostly green) of peepul or banyan from almost all the places I visited, key chains,cowries,seashells etc....].at least once in 4 months. I do dusting and rearranging and throw out certain items. I know that a thing which is not used or touched for at least 6 months is of no use to that person.Then you discard certain things to save some space. But it never happens because some new objects take that place. This process is going on for years. (I feel that each transfer of my husband's job to different places was a bliss in my life) Now we are settled permanently. But still accumulating decease hasn't fully cured.. Any way I decided that by 2015, some changes should be done to my habit of accumulating things or nurturing myreminiscences. So, early morning I did Pranayama, yoga and made a clear mind and started sorting out the essentials and non essentials things which I should keep as long as I am here (Live). I made up my mind hard and decided to fill my garbage basket. One bundle of paper packed in a beautiful rapper caught my attention. I opened it and those where the paper cuttings or the 8th page from New Sunday Express, dedicated to Yoga or s.s's 'mind-body', article written by Swahilya Shaambhavi, the Yoga Teacher, writer and speaker of Human resources. On left,there is a small column of her Himalayan sojourn. Back of this page was about travelling, in different parts of world.(that also is my love) Last 6 years it was sleeping in that rapper.....I went through them.The one dated back May 24, 2009, attracted me. She has given 4 points as instructions to keep or how to decide what is necessary and protect things in your cupboard. 'Check of all your possessions and keep a list of what you really need. Segregate them specially which you have not used for the last 6 months, discard the unwanted things'. Very difficult to decide what is to be preserved and what not... .......... Now what shall I do with this monument?? keep it for another 6 years or discard??
