Gaurav?! Oh-No-Mics!

Sure he needs no mics after what he's saying. He'd just whisper this and even that mouse in my kitchen would be listening with ears all pricked up.

Lax Gaurav, not all my 300 hundred words are going to be in third person. Here I go with why 'I' want all those things you own. Being true to me, I have to reason this out with you rather than just say my thing the way it is. I completely agree with your 'deriving sense of identity' theory. Though, the hierarchy in my case drastically differs - relating with people > experiencing life > creating meaning > owning things. I live my life (subconsciously) around this structure.

So, coming to the point (with a bit of bush beating, I agree!) I’d want all that stuff you own to give-away to different people who mean a lot to me. I’m really trying to put this across in the most non-crass (read refined) way and I see myself super stumbling. But what the heck, I have my reasons pieced out.

Before I hit 300 (and with no six packs, arghh!! Where did that come from?!) I must spell out which part of my life deserves what.

All your furniture and soft furnishings will sit very pretty in my sister’s new house. She has a little of her own. I’d like to add to it what you own.

All your electronic goods, appliances and utensils (including the hundreds of bar glasses) will find their place at my parents place.

All your clothes, books and DVDs will make a perfect surprise for my brother-in-law. He will take them to bed while my sister is with the soft furnishings (Hahaha!) I might just borrow some books from him but that again depends on your collection.

Three hundred it is, but I must say luck to you! Though, I don’t know if you’ve really cracked it this way.

P.S.: I live with none of them. I live alone. And, I don’t lie :)
