Jayanthi Janata express which used to ply to New Delhi (not New Delhi for exact...but Hazrat Nizamuddin, which is near to New Delhi) from Cochin used to carry me when ever I travelled to Delhi. In Andhra a lot of nick knack seller will enter the train with many useful little articles. One of them used to the a bunch with three little copper knick knack. One is an ear pick, another is a tooth pick and the third one is a little forceps. The whole thing put on a little tiny copper ring it cost me two rupees of the olden days! I fell for it at the first sight and ever since I was a user and a devotee of this great equipment.
I bought them on almost all my travels and gave it to mother when I reached home. She will distribute it to those who wanted them. But I kept my first one. Chicken curry was a delicacy in those days in the train. After a chicken curry lunch, I did not have to use it as I was a lad of 26 and very healthy. I had no health issues and never had to use a tooth pick. I had got the bunch for the beauty of the ear pick. As a finger will not go into the ear, it is good to use the copper ear pick. It cleaned the ear spic and span after a bath. I used it for a long forty years all through my working years, but lately the use slowly changed from the ear pick to the tooth pick.
Any fibrous food will send in a few fibre into the cavities of the teeth which is simply taken out by the tooth pick and at times the forceps. That bunch of three items, lately became a bunch of two items containing only the ear pick and the tooth pick only. And among the two the tooth pick started to run before the ear pick as the use of the item increased..! Ask any one above sixty, and you will see they generally agree.
