"So, what I used to do is that when I was returning home from school -- our school was very near as we lived in the Army cantonment where school used to be inside only -- so, while walking on the road, wherever I would find a wrapper on the way, I would pick them and even the ones that we aet the chocolate from... I would pick up wrappers from the road," Anushka said. "I (used to) think I'm a ragpicker."

I'm telling her very seriously, 'Mom it's my collection' and she goes like 'What kind of collection is this?' I used to collect stamps, coins. I used to have a very nice stamp collection, coins I would collect, and this also, it was my hobby."
