Sriram has a nice post about The Maternity Bench.
At my place, we have a bench too; it certainly isn’t made to last — but it had lasted for about 60 years now; it is not teak; nor is it in great shape — if you do not ease yourself on to it, it vibrates as if there is an earthquake. But, I have spent so many hot summer afternoons lying on it reading the books and even some nights sleeping on it, that, it is impossible for me to imagine the open courtyard at the centre of our ancestral home without it! So, I obviously liked Sriram’s post!
