Discovery on Agarbatti

               All of us have done a lot of discoveries during our childhood. Some of them might have lead us into trouble and some have taught us new things. At the end of it, these discoveries are the ones made us who we are today!

               This new discovery of mine was made way back in 1993 or 1994, when I was still in my 2nd or 3rd standard. My parents were not at home, I don't remember where my brother and grand mother were. I was wearing a skirt, which was bought for me to wear on my brother's "Upanayana" ceremony, and it was over long before then. I found an Agarbatti (Oodubatti) somewhere and had lit it and holding it. That was when I accidentally touched my skirt with it and was surprised to see the beautiful tiny hole it made on my skirt. I discovered that, it is very easy to make holes with agarabatti and they come exactly in round shape! Creative side of my brain worked then and I made hundreds of same sized round holes around my skirt. Had done it very neatly and beautifully in circles on my skirt and I was very happy with my new achievement. But the broad smile of achievement remained on my face only till my mother came home and found all the holes on my skirt! So I don't have to say what happened after that, but never did I try it on my clothes again!
