The clean house

..people who know me from a closer point know that i am a slightly obsessive cleaner not the OCD cleaner , but some one who more than once cleans the kitchen i would rate a obsessive cleaner for sure ..and i watch a pro gramme called 'The clean house ' in TV these days . Have been watching for some time now and it is funny the way i go about the pro gramme. There are two episodes about which i was impressed and let me tell you the way of the americans here before we start writing anything . 90% of them are shop-o-holic i mean for an average Indian like me where we think twice to buy anything the shopping here can drive crazy and the way amercians can buy and store things is like ' woaaah ' for me .

So there is this family with the 85 year mother-in- law , a chirpie grand daughter ,another daughter who does not live in the house because of the mess and the father of the house who is junk collector . The chirpie daughter is a ballerina and is the person who calls the clean home team and as all the episodes go about the team has tough time walking in the room to assess the clutter . The girl has ballerina dresses from the age of 4 , the MIL has stuff dating back to the 1930's , and the item of the house the father has the most junk of the house for eg., two dish washers , two black hammers etc., everything in two which he has bought to use if the first get screwed up ...

..and the motive behind writing the post is to observe my sense of satisfaction when i see the house getting decluttered ..i relish and enjoy every moment of the episode and the process of the decluttering is like, as if i am with the team doing the work with them . I enjoy the act of throwing things and coming to the point of that i enjoy throwing things in the kitchen , inside the dust bin when i am done with them ...pooh ..! What do you call this syndrome ?

But one thing is for sure that each american has such a strong individualism and they carry their style with them . It 'sa culture where individualism is appreciated and inter-dependence is discouraged to the edge . So each episode in clean house i get to see the family habits and junk storage of things connected to their personality and blah blah..
