We live in a world where we watch, others watching .. watching stuff. My son watches videos of people telling alexa how to spell supercalifragilisticespi.... Its a thing .
We watch people getting new faces, new bodies new homes and even new husbands ... and dogs too ok not in that order
So Now we have a program called Tidying Up and Marie Kondo is a verb .. albeit not a happy one. Tidying up for me is procrastination. Emptying my recycle bin is always a good place to start . See this Marie mami hasnt met our mommies and mamis. My mother in law had diaries dating all the way back to 1979 . All blank . Why I asked ? You never know ? My mom has a collection of 20 mugs all from a brand of coffee we once had only for that reason. My mother's store room has only Horlicks jadis and mudis . Almost all bottles that have stood on that ledge have witnessed 3 generations of pickles , prickly fights and petty much more.
Have you ever taken food home from your mom's? The next day she will say .. If you have finished please return the dabba . Only that dabba has that cover that can do that thing.... Yes but its a box that came when Appa went in 1979 to London. That too .
See we dont give away . We keep. You never know when a 1989 Murugan calendar could be back the hit thing on your wall. You never know that a Nalli bag would be used. Hello now the manjai pai is that IT THING.
See if we all our pattis had Marie kondoed their armarais. How many afghan snow bottles filled with Patti smell would we have been lost ... Many many. How many mamis take Chanel No.5 fill it with Gulab water and spray 5 drops...? C'mon thats cool
MY mother's jewellery collection is completely wrapped in wedding goodie bags . WE remember anniversaries only due to this reason. That necklace is in that Sundaram's bag 2-2-84 , All welcome with friends and family ... Ofcourse today is their anniversary.
Another thing our family collected are ponnadais. We give it away as Ethnic golden throw to unsuspecting foreigners . We make cushion covers, bags , the odd pavadai and ravikai !!
Now if we didnt keep it all safely in a hoarded nalli bag ?? Imagine .
My mother in law would bring back a suitcase full of empty dabbas from the USA. They throw nice full round dabbas with round tight fit muddis . These dabbas full size appalam we can keep. We had so many round fitting dabbas that we could have populated an Ikea store.My husband once suggested like a wine collection we have a dabba collection. This particular box circa 92 with lemon pickle topnotes ....
Now we call these Marie Kondo , Upcycle , recycle ... NO its not that .. WE keep for keepsake . Because you never know ....
Between Marie & Mami what wins??
