Ilham has a problem. Her Papa has given her a crisp fifty rupee note for her birthday, and she doesn’t know where to keep it absolutely safe. A pocket would be best, but her new frock doesn’t have one. So she runs to Salma Chachi the tailor to get a pocket stitched – but that leads to another problem. A charming little nugget of a story with the flavour of old Hyderabad captured warmly in the pictures!
