Of Towels , sheets and curtains

 Good day friends

This is a short note on towels, sheets and curtains.
I know it is a rather mundane topic, which may not exactly interest you, so if you are a busy executive, or if you just have something more exciting to do – please stop reading at this juncture.
Would never want to take up your time. Good-bye to you for now


Hello again to those who are still with me.
So yes – this is about towels, sheets, curtains and women. I left out the word “women” on purpose at the start so as not to tempt the ‘busy bees’.
No seriously speaking, this is not interesting and not some erotic tale either – just stating some facts.
What is the correlation between towels, sheets, curtains and women of the house – wives to be more precise?
When I opened one of the cupboards at home this morning, I was dumbstruck at the number of towels, sheets and curtains within. In fact, there was no room for any other item and the cupboard was surely over- packed to the extent, one of the hinges had begun to come lose due to the door being forced shut.
If we were to do a little calculation – how many of each would a family require?
Now mark this – I am not only referring to the cupboard at home which is rather large – this is something I have heard from many people (read GENTS & HUSBANDS)
Every time we go to India, we come back with Towels, curtains and sheets of various hues and sizes because supposedly the ‘quality of the cotton’ is so much better there. Is it really?
If my wife spots a shop which says, Bombay Dyeing , Linen Club or something to that effect , we must enter and exit an hour or later with me attempting to carry more packages than I can actually manage.
The same goes for curtains in Dubai. Now, I must admit, that you get beautiful curtains here in the UAE, but the question is “how many sets does one need”?
These are questions, which perplex me, and hence this short note. I warned you it was nothing interesting!
Some of you are so worldly and wise so I will look forward to your inputs if any.
