In my journey to understand various cultures, I stumbled upon a fascinating Indian tradition called 'Bohni'. It's the term for the first business of the day.

Interestingly, a chair played a significant role in this tradition. Shopkeepers would place a chair outside their shop every morning.

The arrival of the first customer was a significant event. The shopkeeper would bring the chair inside, signifying the start of business.

When the second customer arrived, the shopkeeper would direct them to a shop with a chair still outside, indicating they hadn't made their 'Bohni' yet.

This practice fostered a sense of unity and mutual respect among competing businessmen, contributing to their success.
