Charpai

Asia introduces two things to the world

  1. Tea/Chai
  2. Charpai

Both share common property that both provide coolness in hot weather while hotness in cold weather. :hehe:

Charpai is famous bed of indian sub-content and made of special kind of rope call baan. It is famous in small towns/villages of India/Pakistan. It looks uncomfortable to me, specially if those *baans *are random/broken.

According to Mushtaq Yusufi, Charpai has different names like *khaat, khatya, khatola, uran khatola, khat chapar khat, khara, khari, jhilga, palang, palangri, mach, machi, macha, nwari, masahri *and manji.

re: Charpai

Charpai always remind me of my village,my moms phopho can not sleep without charpai,if she is staying at someone else place and they don't have charpai she would sleep on floor but never on mattress.
In sindh people make beautiful and colorful charpais.
