Reflections* – on washing clothes

Yesterday, I had to wash three sets of clothes. First set of clothes were of course mine that need not be pressed. They had to be folded – though!

Second set of clothes were those that had to be pressed.

The third set of clothes were those that did not need to be pressed nor required to be folded. They could be handing for couple of days with pleasure.

But, this was not how I labelled them or saw them at the start of my ‘job’. I saw them as just ‘all these had to be washed’. And so, without a second thought, I simply put the third set to be washed first.

You do see the order – right? In actuality, the second set should’ve gone into washing machine first so that they can be given for pressing immediately after. That way, those clothes would’ve one day to get dried up and second day it could conveniently sit with the ‘man who would press them’ (istri).

They can remind you of 'what you knew and have forgotten' and help you to be back on track. Read them - they are not randomly posted. I spend hours searching for exact words to post them. There certainly is a reason why they are posted....
