Why I like my house clean

Today, my husband posted an article on my wall, which essentially said why waste time cleaning our homes when we could be doing so many other things. Like painting, baking, drinking wine, reading a book, going outdoors etc etc. I'd love to do all those things. In a clean house 😜

Here's why I think u def should've a clean home:

1. It looks/is clean !

2. It looks beautiful. It's a pretty sight. U would want to be there. Who's going outdoors everyday. When u come home from office, imagine stepping on a dusty floor, dusting the sofa so u have a decent spot to sit. 

3. It's good for ur health. If at all u r living in dust, why bother having a house. Might as well stay on the road. 

4. Easier to find things when required. I hate it when I enter a kitchen to get myself a cup of coffee n have to search for 10 mins for a clean cup, lighter to switch on the stove. I like things to be organised, to be in the same place I left it before. If someone messes up with my stuff, better be prepared to face my wrath. 

5. Clear mind. Argue what u may, I think clearly in a clean, open n fresh environment. It's just the way I'm wired. A cluttered room isn't going to get any work done by me. 

6. Great way to relax. Dusting, folding clothes, organising kitchen etc relaxes me. It's my meditation. 

7.Great way to get some exercise. Just sweep n swab the whole house n see how much u r sweating by the end of it. It's better than a medium impact cardio session. 

8. Great way to bond with family. And also to make kids disciplined. 

9.  When u have a clean house, u wouldn't feel like going outdoors unnecessarily. Don't get me wrong, I love going outside. But it's not to escape a dirty house or to excuse myself of the duty of cleaning my house. 

10. Bahiranga shuddi-> antaranga shuddi 😊 

Anyone agrees? Disagrees? Would love to hear ur thoughts. 

Petu, u r not getting away from ur chores with a romanticised article about writing 'I love u' in the dust. I'd love to see that on a clean floor with rose petals ☺️

Yet another 'My Choice' post

To be happy should be my choice. To complete my education should be my choice. To work in the field I'm passionate about should be my choice. To love my family n friends should be my choice. 

I would like to teach such 'my choices ' to my kid. Not the choices a well dressed actress blurts out in a video. Such choices r choices for the heck of it. 

The video questions the foundation of societal norms. It questions the very basis of freedom. Why r societal norms present? Not all r relevant or correct, I agree. But some of them do make sense even now. When U think of a teenager on the throes of deciding whether to sleep with someone or to go pubbing all night long or to do drugs. This video gently pushes them to the other side. It justifies their decisions. The result, I ll leave it to ur imaginations. Now, imagine a society of such people. Not a pretty sight. 

Have ur say, have ur choice, do right by it. Not for the heck of it.
