Realizing a childhood dream

Finally got down to cleaning up my desk. I have always struggled to maintain a clear desk ever since I had one of my own. Sis and me got one each when we were kiddos and both tables existed in a remarkably similar state of untidiness as long as they were with us. Buried under clutter, they were consigned to never see the light of day again before they were rescued every month or so when my exasperated mum took us siblings to task. They probably went to better owners when we had to get rid of them when we moved out of Raipur.
During my years at Engg college each hostelite got a desk of his own. These were handed down over the generations and the engravings in them could speak a million words if given a chance. They ranged from pearls of wisdom like 'I can't C' to anatomically impossible sketches of Shakeela. Unfortunately here too I could not make any progress in having a clean desk. If I were to construct a graph of the level of tidiness of my desk it would reveal an alarming dip during my years at college.
Now I think I have found the solution to this vexing problem.I have decided to have a 'clear desk policy'(borrowed from office lexicon).I have decided to keep my desk clear except for a few articles. The laptop gets pride of place and along with it are the laughing Buddha I picked from Singapore, a bottle of WaterBury’s Compound, my wallet, my watch and a box for miscellaneous items like the scissor and the nail cutter .I hope the status remains unchanged at least for a week;)
