सिल बट्टा... a flat stone block, with another small stone-piece to grind items at home.. to make chutney, pastes, dry powder etc. And with that goes the hawker, who used to come to make grooves on "सिल बट्टा " - with छेनी हथोडी

yes it is.... but 10-20 years back it was a 'must' have in middle class and lower families. Now you do not see this in homes of newly weds. definitely not in middle class.

I was just thinking about these. I haven't seen one of these for maybe 6-7 years.
Those are dead for good. I remember owning one long back. Used to store phone numbers and some bits of text information in them. How fast the world has gone on to tablets!

(From Wiki) Future of Ittars Due to increasing cost of Indian Sandalwood and high cost of production of ittars has had an ill effect on existence of this industry. Competition comes in the form of chemical based perfume products, which are cheaper compared to natural ittars. Talcum Powder..Hmm..It used to be used by adults and there were many brands in India. Now with Deodrants,I don't think its used as much (except for babies )

Pagers - still used in hospitals but other than that they have become completely extinct. @Yoda-esque talcum powder will stay for quite a few years.....in India at least
I have seen people applying in on their face. I haven't used it in a long long time.
