phew, what a busy summer. it surprises me every time i think about how quickly this year has gone by. i mean, we are already at the end of September? oh, whats that you say? i already said this before? shussh!
anyway, i am not exactly sure what was the trigger but, i have gotten in to the housekeeping mode with life. from small little things like cleaning up my social network thingies to selling off my motorcycle.
one day as i was facebooking, i realized i had about 450+ people in my friends' list. half of them hardly ever say a thing to me on there! its like having ton of things in your house that you don'y use, ever! so, i started tidying up that list and cut down to some 200 people that actually keep in touch. i felt like a jerk, but it somehow felt better to be left with genuine friendships or those that care to keep in touch. so is the case with twitter and google+.
then came getting rid of unused email accounts. i owned: 3 gmail, 3 yahoo, 1 hotmail and 1 rediff accounts. i guess they piled up since the last 11yrs since i came in contact with the interwebs. so, started deactivating accounts i don't use much anymore.
having said that, i wish i was doing the actual housekeeping (with the house). the dishes in the sink and unvacuumed floors are staring me down as i write this.
happy housekeeping everyone.

the relief in making interwebs-life lighter, inspired me to get rid of some things that i own too. so, after couple of weeks efforts, finally was able to sell my Ducati. i felt very bad letting that go, but i was happy that it went to a good owner. then, i got rid of some bulky camping gear, clothes and some more things that i don't use anymore. it feels great to cleanup. i get a sense that i am preparing for a big adventure or journey. so, its kinda awesome.
