The Handkerchief



As a kid I used to pester my mother with incessant questions. One day we were all watching TV. Then this ad came up

“ What is that Ammi? I asked

Ammi didn’t reply. I thought she didn’t hear me. The ad was about a cloth which is capable of absorbing all water poured on it. So I asked her again

“ Hmmm… that is a handkerchief monu” Ammi replied after thinking for sum time

“ok. Ammi I want two of them so that when ever I go out to play cricket I can use it. Pls buy it for me”

“ Oh sure monu”

For some reasons Ammi didn’t buy me this special handkerchief. Every day I used to ask her when she comes back home after her work. Because of my persistence she bought me 2 different colored handkerchiefs but not the one I saw in the ad. I was not fully satisfied n I forgot abt this special handkerchief as days passed by.

After many years I realized why Ammi didn’t buy me that special handkerchief. Now that is available in the market in different brand names like whisper, stayfree etc.
