When I came into the drawing roomafter having my bath I saw that brush holder innocently sitting on the center table of the drawingroom. “Who put this toilet brush stand in thedrawing room?” I shouted. “Ammagaru (ma’am), why do you want to throwsuch a cute thing in the dust bin? You can use it as a flower vase. I will bring some flowers in theevening and keep them in that thing” she said innocently. I didn’t know whether to admire hercuteness or to put my palm across my face. “Lakshmi, yours is a cute idea.
