But that would be overkill :-)<br /><br />Jahnvi, I don't know if the handkerchief was invented in India. I just feel it was always meant for India. On the subject of conservation, sample this. Most of us go to do groceries and end up using tons of non-bio-degradable plastic bags. My mom and aunt etc. would simply take a couple of cloth bags to the market and get their vegetables. Smart, efficient and in harmony with nature. <br /><br />Manjusha, wonder if it happens to women in real life? I know I haven't chased anyone down with a handkerchief :-)Parthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10756964089084413413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861627.post-1100873153029562312004-11-19T06:05:00.000-08:002004-11-19T06:05:00.000-08:00I am surprised u forgot one more use of the hanky,...I am surprised u forgot one more use of the hanky, one I saw most frequently in Bollywood movies. The hero, or more often the villian, checking that his hanky is loaded with enuf perfume (at least I have convinced myself that, that is the case) before handing it over to a sobbing heroine. :-)Avinashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12979524725505362083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861627.post-1100855118459484442004-11-19T01:05:00.000-08:002004-11-19T01:05:00.000-08:00Hilarious! :)
