Marie Kondo talks about tidying up, de-clutter and cleaning and has made a fortune doing this. She says you must start tidying up with your closet and drawers. Remove clothes you don't need. Now, in middle-class India that's a crime. Old clothes get transformed into new pocha (mop). They are not thrown away. Nothing beats a nice (new) cotton pocha.
Anyways, I know three people who follow yearly cleaning of their closets. They make lists of things they don't need like clothes, books, junk jewellery etc. and give them away. But they don't do this for a minimalistic living. The ulterior motive is that hey now have more space for new clothes.
Marie Kondo talks about re-organizing. Re-organizing is a good thing. Mothers love re-organizing - from cupboards, books (looking for hidden exam papers and love notes), to their kid's lives. Kids these days can hide their chats on the phone with passwords, but there was a time when kids used to plan on hiding mark sheets, love letters, and money. And that was a good time.
I like the concept of tidying up, removing things you don't need and the overall concept of minimalistic living. I wish this concept worked for body fat. Imagine living with minimalistic flab and fat. If there was this concept - Grab your muffin-top. If discarding it gives you joy, you go girl! Not just me, but a lot of women (including the middle-class Indians) would jump the bandwagon, and I am sure that would be a real revolution.
