How many lazy desi's does it take to shift ? None ... 'cos even a billion of them couldnt manage.
There is just way too much to do - cancel bills, change addresses, call up all the relevant people - telekom, GEZ, credit card, bank ... Add three rounds of cleaning to it - enough to satisfy german land ladies and real estate agents . I remember my mother's cleaning routines - she was armed with a whole entourage of people to help her and I am armed by a whole retinue of cleaning agents - no, not robots or sci-fi humanoids but not so plain and not so simple, not just cleaning fluids ... the queen of the lot if the "Scheuermilch" ... just a dab and it cleans! Then ofcourse there are the glassreinigers, sink-openers anti-kalks and carpet shampoos. But honestly, what is this is with germans (mainly middle aged and elderly) and their cleanliness fetish ...
Round three of cleaning starts on Wednesday .... Feel free to join in for a beginers course! Free admission to the course!
All this reminds me of house elves - do you think use magic or is scheuermilch powerful enough magic?
This is how heidelberg looks right now !!! Just enough snow and greyness to make shifting even more difficult. The static friction to get things done is way too high and the doing friction is pretty high too.

kinetic friction to moving wasnt all that high. nice picture of heidelberg. cant for the life of me recognise it. are you sure its h'berg!! :)
and see, you shifted your location, it stopped snowing/raining for a few days, and its back again. the secret is (always) timing!
