Hmm now that its been almost an year here, I see certain bags and things just lying around utilizing space. If it was to me, I would have eliminated these too. Here goes my throw away list :
1) Bulky Beds or furniture in general : We got this heavy one from india, its too heavy even if you take the parts out. Everytime we think of moving even in the same building, this one will be the hugest hurdle. So yeah sell it there. Here you are the packers movers.
2) All gadgets with indian chargers or plugs : We brought in a home theatre and ps3 from india, its cool it works but I think you can't really hang on to converters all the time. Its risky with plugs. Also, they are not under warranty or service. There are so much better products you can buy.
3) Flour pulses rice etc : There is no need to bring anything except spices or snacks from your favorite local shops. All the pulses rice kinds flour kinds mtr maggi junk are available in indian stores. There is no need for extra baggage.
4) Extra clothes : Bring only your best clothes. If its more than 2 years old or rugged or faded, throw it. All those traditional clothes too, if they are not good, donate. You will hardly wear them and they will just occupy space.
5) Quilts : There is no need to carry these too. There are better and weather friendly options here. You will never feel cold inside home so you don't really need these things. AC quilts should do. Never pack curtains.
6) Cookers pans ladles : For kitchen, I would say just get dishes and plates mugs. After a while, you are going to buy pans here, cookers here. They are better, affordable and less messy. Its time to move on from those ancient devices. They even have a yogurt maker which made me feel really ignorant when my friend recommended to buy one. Get rid of old chopping boards while you can.
7) Shoes sandals : The same clothing rule goes, if its old and lies in corner there, it will end up taking more space. Throw away old shoes, old sandals. They don't look good, they don't really work here. While you are at it, throw those socks too.
8) Medicines stock : Everyone says you should pack indian medicines, well you should but not like a full year quota. As soon as you get insurance, everything is covered. Carry basics like antibiotic or special prescriptions like vitamin d or iron. Other than that, there is no need to carry cold cough vomiting blah blah medicines. They are available in all the supermarkets .
9) Hanging watches or photoframes : I personally don't like hanging anything on walls if its a rented house. So I wouldn't pack things like these.
10) Jackets Coats Sweaters : If they are new, yeah bring them but if they are old and only worked in indian cold, you will not need them. Get rid of them, donate them. They just don't work for this cold.
11) Papers papers : Eliminate all the papers if you can. All those extra diaries notebooks hmm not worth it really.
