Worst job of the world!!
Its quiz time!! what's the worst job of the world? Once Abhay had mentioned this to me. One of the world's worst job according to some research is 'killing rats in Mumbai'(Watch DHOBI GHAAT to get the clue). Today I will reveal another one to you. It's RELOCATING YOUR HOME. Packing till the last ounce of energy in your body has been used and then reaching the new destination and instead of rejoicing the beauty of the place,unpacking all that stuff that you had just packed a few days ago and not just dump it but instead arrange it in an order. Phew! It is full of so many challenges. If you have had a life like mine, I am sure you will end up knodding your head in affirmation till the last word of this article.
The biggest problem in this process is distractions and dilemma. You start packing in a good rhythm until you come across a section of the house which you didn't even bother to check for ages and then you see things you had bought centuries ago and never bothered to use it and you wonder why did you ever buy it at the first place? And then you plan to throw or give it away but your emotional attachment won't let you do so. And between all this dilemma and confusion, you must have wasted almost an hour of your precious time.
Spending the last night at your old place is a nightmare. When you want basic necessity to remain unpacked but at the same time you want to finish up packing and not to keep things for the last minute. Another challenging task is brushing up your memory when you spend the first day in the new place. Its a disaster. 'I can't find tooth paste!', 'Where have you kept my shoes?','Where is the towel?' It is full of all that. You open a box to get something and you see a bottle of oil has spilled all over and you completely forget why the box was being opened and instead you end up cleaning up the mess.... lol. I can give inumerous examples of this kind :)
BUT! despite of all this madness, there is a great feeling. The excitement of exploring a new place, starting things from the scratch and creating your home :) Its not easy but its worth it :)
I am tired. I am exhausted. and I can feel pain in every tiny little part of my body. Phew!! Yes, we have moved to london :)
