For centuries, Hindu women have worn a dot (Bindi) on their
foreheads. Most of us have naively thought this was connected with
tradition
or religion, but the Indian Embassy in Washington , D.C. has recently
revealed the true story.
When a Hindu woman gets married, she brings a dowry into the union.
On her wedding night, the husband scratches off the dot to see whether he's
won a convenience store, a gas station, a donut shop, a taxi cab or a motel
in America. If nothing is there, he must remain in India to answer
telephones and provide us with technical support.
