I’m grinning like a Cheshire cat today. Been grinning since yesterday…
Yesterday was one of those spring-cleaning, list-making days.
After a reallllly long while, I pulled my sleeves up and rolled my trouser legs and got my hands dirty, many times over…
As a result, the house is rendered back to its primeval state of sparkling cleanliness; the cobwebs are shrivelling in the dustbin; the shelves have been lined with new paper and stuff stacked on in
neat, ordered columns; clothes-no-longer-worn have been handed over to the maid/cook; old shoes have been thrown out; the potted plants have been pruned; sarees have been identified for blouse-and-false work; naphthalene balls have been chucked into every corner; scented sachets have been lovingly under the clothes; and all is right with the world!
The best part is restoring order to my book shelf in order; typing out a list of all the books I have; and an additional list of books I am yet to read. I even set aside a pile of books to donate to a children’s library. Coated with varying shades of gray dust, I find I still manage to impress myself! Tra la la…
A hard day’s work…

But even then, it would take me a few more weeks to actually get down to doing this
The joys of a clean home, eh
And after reading your post, I think it could also be ‘false’. A sorta deception
Interesting, have never thought about the spelling of this one
hey, it could be both i guess, I put falls and then changed it to false, cos I figured it was like false bottom…dunno… It’s Indian, isn’t it?
Cd be anything, then!
