Shri Nathji hardly had any good achkans left in the house. Most had been ruined by the spurious moth balls, and the older ones had worm holes in them.“Keerron ke chek vaale kaprre ashubh maane jaate hain!”“Clothes that have been eaten by worms are considered to be inauspicious.”And yet he would ask Mangla to darn them, and then go on wearing them. Even the green achkan that he wore daily had multiple holes in it that had been darned.
