Buying unnecessary stuffs

I wanted to write about this for long time..

I have seen many of my friends purchasing so many house hold items without even thinking whether it is really required..

Some of them are, A complete set of business sofas, A complete big set of dining table, Good designer wooden cots, Wall hanging televisions which will be really big in size etc.

That too for a rental house where in we may need to vacate and change the house at any time for any situation..

Will they be really useful?

But if I ask this question, I always get any one of the below answers..

    - Yes.. These are all really useful ( I really wondered!!!)
    - If Some relatives or friends come, they will use this
    - What others will think if we purchase small item in this.
    - Small Items will not have good quality.
    - I liked that design.
    - I will not feel comfortable without these things.
    - Home will be perfect if we have all these.
    - There was a nice offer for this item.

Whatever... But I always wondered if I get any of these answers..

Because I never liked any particular thing, simply for design. As per me, If it serves the purpose that's enough.. ( People tease me that I dont have aesthetic sense, But I am like that only)

I never liked to spend money on big things... ( I am not that money saving person, I don't want to put it in things...)




The only thing that I can't control my expenditure is craft materials.. But I will definitely use them..

I never felt that someone will be comfortable in our house only if this thing is there...

If they are not able to adjust in my home, I don't have any problem ( Until unless they need a thing which is really going to affect their physical or mental health in a very bad way)

I never liked to spend more money on rent also ( But there is no other way in some cases )

I asked so many people, "Give me one value added advantage of double door-ed Refrigerator over single one"

On top of all these, I am very very lazy to keep on cleaning everything..

For me, house has to be clean always, If I have all these things, I can't take them out and clean regularly..

So, I wondered how people will clean the house if so many things are there..

I prefer to cut vegetables in hand using knife than putting in cutter, I am very lazy to clean that cutter.. And the same for everything..

Some times wondered about one more thing. At that time of marriage, Girl's parents have to give all the house hold items ( In India ) even if it is not going to be used in her life time, and that calls for another post :-)

I will regret about my purchase always if it is not used at least once in a month..

Again, It depends on each individual's personality..

Just wanted to share... Thats all...

Then, Whats up? 3 more days to reach week-end.. ( Ya.. I am that working woman who longs for week-end always )

I already pre-ordered Preeti Shenoy's next book which is getting released in November.. Waiting for it..

I did this because of the impression I got in her last book "The Secret Wishlist"

Okay.. Thats about all....

Take Care..

Have a nice Week followed by great week-end..

With Love,
