| Rubberband culture |
 What is it with Delhi and rubber bands? Three months in Delhi and my house is overflowing with rubberbands, mostly black, some red and even fluorescent green! Seriously, I am not kidding thee...We take three newspapers so that's three rubberbands per day. In Bombay, the paperwallah never rolled up the papers; the papers would just be slapped outside the doors. But I guess that makes sense because in Bombay you have mostly flats so paperwallahs can't very well show off their javelin throw skills outside 7 storey plus buildings.
Anyway, back to the rubberband count. Three from the daily newspapers, two from the bread--in Bombay the loaf of bread was usually secured with cellotape--that's five per day. So at the minimum, the rubberband count in my house must be 450 at the moment. Is that wierd or what? This is apart from the predilection Delhi shopkeepers have for whipping out rubber bands at the slightest excuse. Have product, will rubberband.
P.S: The image above is an actual picture of my rubberband collection. Please to note the fluorescent green and orange!Labels: culture |
