packed and ready and still 48 hrs till take off

I have 8 pairs of trousers in my tiny back pack. Is this really necessary? This is how fashion manipulates my mind despite itself. I suspect that, once in India, the illusion that these are essential will dissolve and I shall feel a twit as my bag is too heavy. I notice I have had to recheck the number of pairs 3 times now as I started thinking I had 3 pairs, one for the journey. That seemed reasonable till I remembered the track suit bottoms, the light weight white linen trousers for use in southern hot India, the two pairs of salwar kameez pants I put in for fancy evening wear and the red cotton pants for running on the beach.
I can already see this is ridiculous, just helps to spell it out, so back to the bag.....
