Cleaning day!
Gosh, I never would have thought that the office had so much dust and grime in it!
Went off at 11 and came home at 8. Loads of Colin, soap, water, Nirma, brooms and with a bit of teamwork we cleaned up the place like it had never been done before!
Rotting wood? Yes. Creepy crawly insects? Yes! Snails? Yes. Mud? Grime? Junk paper, bottles and glass? Sand? Bricks? Yeah! All this and much more! [mostly in the back yard though!]
I would probably never have cleaned even my room half as much as I cleaned the office today. And had fun as well! Chucking water on each other, lunch at Stu-C, cleaning up together. . . Felt rather liberating even to the mind actually.
Just made me really think about this. . . we try so hard to keep our surroundings clean (most of us do! :) ) but we never really care about the junk we keep filling in our minds. Chatter in the brains, thinking the same old thoughts day after day after day and yet leaving the relevant thoughts, unthought! We let mindsets and perceptions rule our real world and mess up how we look at life. We don't ever really clean the way we look at life, do we? How many of us actually have a time during the day when we have no thoughts or chatter in our mind at all? A day when everything is new and fresh rather than thoughts that drag us down?
Weirdly enough though, cleaning the office, at some strange sub conscious level, cleared up my mind as well. Calmed it and just focused on the task at hand! Music, people I like, AIESEC, everything was just. . . damn cool! Talk about living diverse experiences! :)
The strangest thing about AIESEC is that it gives us the most different experiences could expect but we are still able to take them with a pinch of salt and love each moment! Whether it's meeting a top notch business professional, college principal, NGO head, student, member, professional meetings or randomly driving around with the EB, chilling anywhere and everywhere, partying till 7 a.m. at conferences, traveling for 50 hours, cleaning up office, staying up half the night coz of a document, going crazy about visas, actually, anything you could possible imagine has been a part of my AIESEC life!
And today was just one of those moments where you're with people you love and you're all working together and having fun as well!
I'm happy today! Even though I'm not in Silvassa and still want to be there, I'm doing pretty okay here as well! :) Gonna go next year for sure! :P
Oh, and did I mention that I love planning Office decorations? ;) Paint jobs and charts n everythn? ;)
