KonMaring Consciously - Shoes, Space, Smoke and Illusions - Day 8

 What the hell have I been doing with 21 pairs of shoes? Too much for someone who keeps wearing the same pair of sandals or goes out wearing slippers.

We are real hoarders. Understanding the value of money and being more mindful in my futuristic spends is the goal. I just realized while talking to a friend that I have reduced smoking thanks to the constant question that even though I can afford one pack what's the value of buying that pack? Does it help me in anyway except for a couple of minutes of pleasure and taste?

The shopkeeper keeps trying to sell me a full pack and I keep pushing it back. My life and health has no meaning to them, of course. :-D But it need not be the same for me.

I have 21 pairs of shoes but why? What for? Buy few things but make them memorable and usable. So many clothes and nothing to wear is a waste of time, space, energy and money. So many shoes and still picking up the comfortable slipper too is a waste of space and money.

This helps me understand one thing that when we have a constant supply of money which we feel is never ending, we end up spending mindlessly. I don't intend to be a miser ever. But I also don't want this "I will spend because I can" attitude. I would like to spend because I honestly and genuinely want to.

The funny thing is that both the expensive sandals and the inexpensive ones don't last for long. Buying expensive long-lasting sandals are a myth. Shoes are fine, though. Expensive shoes are comfortable and last long. But sandals are such a waste of money. It's just the brand name and nothing additional.

I absolutely love how I am thinking right now. It's creating a lot of space in my mind as well as my shelves.

I also realize I can easily take a roommate now. My items will easily fit into one room's closet. The illusion of having a lot was what made me wonder all this while on how to reduce my belongings to a 1BHK.

I also understand why Mom is always so hard-headed on de-cluttering the house from stuff that are no longer useful. All these things affect our subconscious mind and the energy of the place. She needs no Marie Kondo or Access Consciousness to realize this. She knows it by default. She won't be able to express it in words and write a blog post. But I swear to God this woman knows much more than she shows.

Next category? Bags and Documents.

P.S. There are just still so many clothes, although now categorized. I just washed a full load in the machine. And there's already another pile left to be washed. It's a never ending cycle.

P.P.S. I got a roommate today itself. Verbally confirmed so far from May and aligned with Owner. HDIGABTT.

P.P.P.S. I also confirmed a free client for makeover energetic shopping assistance. Verbally confirmed only. Yet to schedule. HDIGABTT.

Yesterday's client today confirmed that he is relieved of his neck pain and back pain. HDIGABTT.

"Are You a Lesbian?"

“Are you a lesbian?” A friend of mine once asked me mockingly when we were discussing about my aversion from some (“some” not “all”) kind of men. “No. But does it matter?” I asked her scornfully. No, I wasn’t bothered that I was asked a question about my sexuality. But what I didn’t understand was that is being a lesbian a matter to be jeered about? What if I was one? Wouldn’t I be hurt and embarrassed that my sexuality was just mocked at? Why are the words “gay” or “lesbian” used as slangs? Another incident, that took place a couple of years back, was when I was teasing two girl friends of mine, accusing them of having an affair. I considered it as normal as teasing a guy and a girl. One of them found it so disrespectful that she, instead of simply denying the fact, chided that she isn’t of such “third class” standard. I later discussed the small argument that we had, with her, trying to make my point that being a lesbian or a transgender doesn’t define anyone’s cla...

Ek Tha Tiger : Review

A huge fan I am of the actor Salman Khan, but as asked by my friends for an unbiased review (i.e. assuming it was just another actor and not THE Salman Khan) here it goes: 5 stars is what I would give it just after recalling Salman's face once, but "committing" to my promise as stated above, I am giving it somewhere between 4 and 4.5 stars. Now, I know that many critics have given it 3 stars but ignoring every other review or the star's charisma I give it a 4 that goes solely to the movie. One star I have deducted because the dialogues at the very first scene did not live up-to my expectations. Nor was Salman looking his very best (I felt like he was having a cold or the likes of that).  The action scenes were not over shown or dramatic like that of Bodyguard’s (albeit it came as a nice surprise to me). But the unexpected twists and turns after the interval of the movie are what made the movie one of a kind. You would expect something to happen while the oppo...

Because You're a Woman

I am often surprised, if not dismayed, when I read those angry articles on women, and especially when it’s penned down by a woman. A few days back I read a piece of article written by a renowned author quoting that the modern woman instead of seeking to be a man should regain her femininity. Whenever it’s mentioned what a man or woman “should” do or be like, it disappoints me. Who decides who should behave like whom? Are these the rules written in ancient scriptures, which were written by no one else but men or women like us who happened to belong to a different era? Are these the rules mentioned by kings and queens who no longer reign? Or are these rules conveyed by the Almighty himself/herself whose existence is somehow dubious for some, if not all, of the people? It must be amusing to look at the world through the tinted glasses one wears; and then whenever a color seems too bright or too pale, to quote it as a misfit. Where lays the liberty of just being human? Is i...
