Duster cloth with stick handle from broken....

During childhood in the marketplace shops, I used to observe with awe how the various items they kept for sale were dusted with a piece of cloth tied at one end of a wooden stick.  It looked very impressive.  Several years later, I used to spend some time at my friend Nikams' Curios Shop on Dhanvantri Road where the senior Nikam often used to order his assistant "Jhatak re, jhatak re".  [ Hey, dust the items....] They called this tool as "Jhatakni" in this case it was a colourful lacquer-coated wooden stick.  These were 'Kolata' / 'Dandiya' sticks [used in a certain type of dance by women / girls by striking them to produce leasing sounds in chorous as they danced].I bought two pairs of such sticks from Mr.Nikam at different times for making dusters for my home.  

These were the first ones I made.

Subsequently, I found a broken badminton racquet handle at a place where my friend played badminton.  So I collected it and made another.  Pictured below, black handle/stick. 

And then there were a couple of wooden racquets at home, warped and with tattered guts.  One was from my childhood, of smaller size.  I repurposed both these and made two more.  Pictured below.

I keep one at different places where it necessitates frequent dusting.  
The 'Jhatakni" or whatever it is called, is a very handy tool to have and very easy to use and maintain.
