I was going through some photos and found this one.
It is a blanket label from a blanket I slept under in India one night.
It said the blanket was shoddy but I reckon it did its job.
Was I missing something in the translation?
When I looked up shoddy in an online dictionary it said:
shod.dy
adj. shod.di.er, shod.di.est
Made of or containing inferior material.
a. Of poor quality or craft. b. Rundown; shabby.
Dishonest or reprehensible: shoddy business practices.
Conspicuously and cheaply imitative.
But immediately below it it said:
shod.dies
a. Woolen yarn made from scraps or used clothing, with some new wool added.
b. Cloth made from or containing such yarn.
Something of inferior quality; a cheap imitation.
I guess the Zeenat factory got their words mixed up.

The Journey Five is a couple of posts back. Feel free to answer the questions in my comments section or on your own blog.
This week I’m going back to my childhood.
