Lists and me have a long history. Very few people are list maniacs. Those who are, inevitably end up being compulsive list makers. I am one of them. I have made lists ever since I remember. Lists of everything under the sun. My favourite books. My favourite smells. My favourite words. The ideal guy. Things I need to buy. Things I want . Things I hate. My list of lists is endless. I even have a list of all the lists I have made.
In class 11, I met AK. Who happens to be another list maker. Imagine my joy when I found that out! Infact we made our ideal guy list together. We made quite a few lists together.
Last year, I reconnected with S (also known as Amateur at this.) She too is a list maker. There are very few list makers in the world and when one finds the other, an eternal bond is forged.
Whenever I am confused about the oh-too-many-things at hand, I make a list. And feel better. Suddenly the world seems more organised and less like a mass of confusing here and theres.
We list makers have lists tucked in everywhere. I sometimes make a list of things I want to say to a person, lest I forget.
I was over the moon when I found Confessions of a list maniac in the library. Even though it's written for young adults, I loved reading it. Just because it was about a compulsive list maker. The numerous lists the protagonist writes made it such a fun read. The author herself confesses that she absolutely adores making lists.
I am not organised, otherwise. List making is more than being "organised". It's fun. It's comforting. And one of my favourite things to do.
I would have been lost without my lists! Making lists never fail to brighten my mood. Sometimes I make Compare Lists too... Have you ever done those??
ReplyDeleteYes, ofcourse I have! I love your bucket list! Do you have a "places I need to visit" list. That's one of my favourite list and I keep on adding to it.
Deletehow do you organize all the lists you make?
ReplyDeleteI don't. They are here and there. On sheets of paper. On last pages of diaries and notebooks. In memos in my phone. As word documents on my laptop.
DeleteDhut! Erom korle kikore cholbe? Make a list of lists!
DeleteIf you like making lists, then it is highly likely you will like the website L-Lists. It is a website for making lists of links, and adding to other peoples’ lists. For example:
ReplyDeleteList of Search Engines
http://l-lists.com/en/lists/qukoen.html
The lists don’t have to be of websites. It is possible to create a list which contains row titles and descriptions but not URLs. The important thing is that the list should be interesting or useful to others.
I went through the website. Bookmarking it! Thanks a ton :)
DeleteI am sort of a list maker too. I make check-lists though. But its a list anyway. But I guess I am not that compulsive as I have deciphered from this post of yours...
