Desi Brooms

My wife Sudakshina is always telling people that I am obsessed with cleanliness - that I ask people visiting Bradford or Southall to get me desi style brooms. Now any duffer knows that UK brooms simply don't match up. Of course in her heart of hearts she is thankful that I keep the house absolutely spotless - but recently I came across this BBC essay about the Swiss people's obsession about cleanliness. Well - compared to them, I am almost normal.
