I dont think it should be trivialised as hoarding. Yesterday when somebody reminded me that my daughter will be finishing her school this year, the memories of her going to school for the first time flashed and I was flooded with emotions. (Didnt think I was sentimental. But, then may be am getting old). So, what am I trying to say... well.. Goes to show writing a good coherent blog like you do, isnt easy.

I have done it several times and it is indeed a night mare.<br /><br />One of the problems associated with shifting is that your good furniture will get damaged.<br /><br />Another serious problem I faced was labor problem in Kerala. when I was transferred from Bhopal to Kochi the laborers demanded a whopping amount of Rs.1000 just for unloading where as for loading in Bhopal I paid only Rs.100.This was in the year 1987.When I told the laborers I will get some office help and unload the household articles my self they said I can do that but still they have to get Rs.1000. Police will not interfere in these matters.Finally I had to shell out Rs.1000 and they unloaded the goods in the compound and walked off and I had to make arrangements to get the things into my house.<br /><br />Another problem associated with interstate transfer\shifting is that getting admission for children in good schools and they have to learn the language of the state in lower classes.<br /><br />Even if the company will pay for packing and shifting we have to supervise these things ourselves. I had the bad experience of losing some useful items because they were taken away by the packing laborers.<br /><br />I am sure your husband has several excuses including sentimental reasons for hoarding those things just as you have many reasons for accumulating your things. We all have this habit of hoarding things and I have really not checked what I have hoarded. Yet once in a way I make a half hearted effort to get rid of some old things because of the insistence of my wife. Sometimes I just tell her that she can bury those old things with me when I die:)<br /><br />Yes, I agree with you that shifting houses is really nerve wracking,tiresome, tedious,time consuming and gets on ones nerves.<br /><br />Best wishes Latha:)<br />JosephJoseph Pulikotilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07074346261093541776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5111808059873754677.post-9504709622998759432010-08-02T13:55:33.712+05:302010-08-02T13:55:33.712+05:30Collection of comics which I probably read as a pr...Collection of comics which I probably read as a pre-schooler........<br />how could any one think of disposing these off.<br />These are life time treasures.<br />(I still can't find mine......could have been lost/misplaced in one of the shiftings....sigh)Haddockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11573906991666088642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5111808059873754677.post-38089192485498608612010-08-02T12:08:36.281+05:302010-08-02T12:08:36.281+05:30C'mon parents always like to store their baby&...C'mon parents always like to store their baby's Kitty-Petty things...

I still treasure my dual floppy disk drive IBM PC.<br /><br />We moved a couple of times because my company moved me. That made it a little easier because the movers, arranged and paid by my company, packed everything and unpacked and put them in the right place at the new home. Sometimes, they over do it.SGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05790347071764332430noreply@blogger.com
