The Case of the Missing Handkerchief "One bright morning, Riya brought her favourite handkerchief to school. It was white with small blue flowers. She left it on her desk during recess. When she came back, it was gone! She looked everywhere, but there was no sign of it. Suddenly, her friend Sam giggled and pointed to the window, where they saw Riya’s dog Max, holding the handkerchief in his mouth. Max had followed her to school and wanted to play with his favourite toy! Everyone laughed, and Riya was happy to have her handkerchief back.” |

No matter what the shape and size of the dwelling, mother soon put her own special stamp on it and transformed it into a familiar place - our home - complete with bright yellow-curtains, coffee-brown carpet, assorted pictures, hanging ferns and potted palms - providing a comforting sense of continuity in our essentially nomadic life.
I was thirteen, the year we moved to the Cantonment at Allahabad. In stark contrast to the razzle-dazzle of the city's commercial areas like Katra and Chowk, the Cantonment was a quiet, orderly place with broad tree-lined roads that still carried the names of long-dead Britishers. Our bungalow was on a sleepy by-lane called MacPherson Road. When we first saw it, my brothers and I were delighted. It was by far the biggest house we had ever lived in. The task of furnishing those huge, echoing rooms daunted Mother.
