There is a secret Olympic sport that many Indian households have mastered — it is called “Tube Wrestling.” It involves squeezing a toothpaste tube to its absolute death, flattening it, twisting it, rolling it and then — just when it should be given a decent burial — cutting it open to scoop out its final breath with a toothbrush. That last speck of Colgate is a national treasure. We may misplace property papers worth crores, but never, ever a half-used tube of paste.
