the saga of the never ending sweeping of the broom

Clean your shelf..your clothes fall off when we open the cupboard would be a comment I would face most of the time in my childhood and I would never be able to find my books in that small section alloted to me in the cupboard , finally on one weekend Dad would sit on my head and make me clean the shelf and I would think man its so much to clean, least did I think that its gonna be worse once I grow up

These days cleaning is not restricted to my shelf...(oh no..now i have a cupboard), a room, my car, office drawers and other such materialistic things, I also need to clean and organize my laptop, desktop at work, my personal computer at home, the lab machines, my mobile phone, my emails (in different accounts) apart from office email...Uuuf its too much to doUntill now I have never had the feeling that all my things are clean and organised..something or the other is left unclean or not organized..Will I ever achieve that ?

I have a friend who manages to do it well, she washes her home slippers and keeps it to dry with her utensils and so does the supdi (I am not sure what it is called in english dust pan ??) on her kitchen platform. Also she roams in her house without slippers to verify that there is no dust in the house and even wiped her home walls...yeah right walls

interesting... reminds me of home where you get to see mom & her gang of dusters & helpers (isn't 2 a gang ;) cleaning things 24/7 & i hate when i have to switch off the tv or move to another room.. when they r on the move.. ever heard about painting a ship - the saying goes that when u finish painting from one end to the other end.. its almost time to start all over again.

:-), we always think that if mom tried less of her cleaning activities there would be less of shouting at home.

i know! if i decide to spend my weekends sitting at home, I definitely end up cleaning various things - fridge, furniture, show cases, wardrobe – list doesn’t end.
Best part is, if i m cleaning kitchen furniture and i happen to visit another room, i forget about kitchen & start cleaning that room's furniture :))
