Our neighbours and
children drop by and share what we are eating. Annasamy Anna comes daily and
has tea with me. All plates and glasses are obviously the same. Our village is
an SC hamlet.
I told my daughter that
in many urban home seperate glasses as kept even today for 'maids'. She asked
why. I said the urban employers say that they may not brush their teeth so it
is not 'hygenic'.
Then she said that the village people
brush their teeth so much better than we do, and for much longer. Which is
true. Their neem stick brushing goes on for half an hour unlike the hurried
urban teeth brushing of a minute !
