1. Doiyer Phonta (a curd spot :ya you can laugh): this is what adorns the foreheads of numerous children as they enter the exam hall. It is considered auspicious. The only benefit of topical application of curd that I know of is that it cures dry skin....mine is oily so did not try out this beauty therapy on exam days....(chuckle chuckle).
2. Glucose Er Jol (glucose water): Good old water is never enough for the E-Day. Moms very kindly pack a bottle of glucose water. It provides extra energy . (which can make them restless, pee more etc etc...but who cares?)
3. Some Dried Flowers: No they are not endowed with magical powers yet they find a place in pencil boxes, pockets and what-not. everyone is not a phool.... after all.....it has God's blessings.. (grinnn)
4. A photograph of a deity: This is rubbed all over the answer scripts. Why? no idea (no abhishek is not standing beside me to say get-Idea).
5. At least one parent/guardian waiting outside the hall- worrying and panicking about everything that might happen inside. Every martyr needs mourners. A-men!
