The Multipurpose Banyan



Mom(concerned): Are you comfortable travelling by train?

Son(mumbles): Bus or train… Okay…

Mom: Do you have train ticket with you?

Son: My friend has it. He is going to drop me at the railway station.

Mom: What about your purse?

Son: What about what about the purse?

Mom: The railway station is crowded. There are pickpockets! Be careful.

Son: Purse will be safe in my jeans.

Mom(thinking):

Son(watching TV):

Mom(all of a sudden): You don’t wear a banyan!

Son: What?

Mom: You could put your purse inside the banyan! It is more safe, you know?

  5. You perhaps know that in olden days, Banyans were actually used to carry money/wallet.
    In local language they were called "bundi"

    @Laks - Yes, it is from the mamans. :)

    @Radha - The best use is the protection from pickpockets.

    @JD - You have been away too long. Welcome back! This is the latest thing I did with the blog.

    @Vineeta - So, don't tell Hritik about this. :)
