08: The Blue Bead by Norah Burke
- #2Which things attracted Sibia on her way to work?Ans : Sibia was a little girl with little likings. She did not have high expectations. Very petty things attracted her attention. She could even enjoy the sight and smell of the honey confections, abuzz with dust and flies at the sweetmeat stall. The smell was wonderful above the smells of drains and humanity and cheap cigarettes. At home, she sometimes tasted wild honey or crunched the syrup out of a stalk of sugar cane. There was the cloth stall stacked with great rolls of new cotton cloth, stamped at the age with the maker's sign of a tiger's head and the smell was so dear to her that she could stand by it whole day.
