It’s the 3rd night in a row I don’t intend sleeping!
No! It’s not because I’m an insomniac(that I am). But,because I have OCD! Yes,add one more to the list of my insanities or to put it cutely,quirks. For the last couple of days I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder to Organise, Compartmentalise,Discard!So a double OCD!

Basically I am on an aggressive cleaning spree! And when I say aggressive I mean aggressive. I have traveled 11 kms and spend 8 hours,stopping at every single shop to find storage boxes,crates,baskets and containers to store other boxes,jars,bottles and whatever else you can think of.I know it’s not Diwali and no I haven’t moved to another house,but just because!

I have emptied all my kitchen and bathroom drawers,my wardrobes,my art station and every single corner of the house. I am disposing the junk, and organising and compartmentalising it all according to intended date of use,need, things I want but are useless,alphabetical order,colour, gradation etc,etc. Its a never ending and almost addictive process when you’re in a frenzy. I start with one drawer,I remove,clean,discard and go to re-organise it,and as I find an appropriate place to keep it another drawer yawns open in even more disarray. So I move on to the next and then the next. Though I know,even after I meticulously re-arrange everything my staff will still mess it up. But I will still do it.

This OCD IS NOT only addictive,it’s also extremely therapeutic. Because when i get to organising a drawer,or a cupboard it actually gets done! Unlike life! That I haven’t really figured, starts from where.

I wish systemising and re-organising life was as simple.
We collect so much clutter over the years. From situations, relationships,from people we know,some we have adopted as our own and some strangers who have moved on leaving their garbage as a parting gift.
I wish we could Organise our wants and needs and accordingly prioritise what we NEED to keep and what we HAVE to discard.
Lets start from Throwing out the garbage of expectations and disappointments. Clean out the dirt of Doubts and insecurities that came from dejection. Wipe out ego and anger. Banish the complexities. And accumulate only that,which we require to make us happy and complete.

We don’t have to lug the chaos that has collected over years,its not ours to keep.
And just because We have decided to harmonise doesn’t mean it won’t ever reoccur. But that shouldn’t defeat us.
Only when we Discard all the crap that’s crossed its expiry date, will we be able to make space For what needs to be preserved. Ourselves!
