For centuries, Hindu women have worn a dot on their foreheads.
Most of us have naively thought this was connected with tradition or religion, but the Indian High Commission in London, has recently revealed the true story.
When a Hindu woman gets married, she brings a dowry into the union.
On her wedding night, the husband scratches off the dot to see whethe r he’s won a corner shop, a petrol station, a curry restaurant, a taxi cab or a motel in the United Kingdom.
If nothing is there, he must remain in India to answer telephones and provide us with computer technical support.
