So how many remember these? They were the classic one-foot rulers, available in plastic, steel and wood, and often used in schools. Most students called them “scales”. Most teachers called them “rulers.” We generally used the half foot ones in class as our notebooks were smaller, but when exam time came around, out came these because answer sheets were generally wider. One of the trademark signs of examinations were these being carried clipped on to clipboards, along with a pencilbox. Most parents preferred purchasing the wooden ones as they lasted longer, and many students preferred them too as they were handy “slap weapons.” However, for serious drawing, the transparent plastic ones worked best as we could see the page through them, making them better for straight margins and underlinings. The big problem was that they cracked in the corners. Camlin and Camel had slightly narrow versions and were a little expensive but local brands were wider in size and more affordable. Priced anywhere from Rs 3 to Rs 10. Often kept inside carefully and brought out for the exams. I still have mine.

A cancer-causing material that's banned in 70+ countries and kills 2 lakh people annually is being legally used in India - in our roofs, cars, and even some appliances. The government says it's ‘safe’, based on a foreign study that wasn’t even accepted in its home country.
