Look what a little imagination…
Careful planning…
And Hindustan Sanitaryware fitting
Did for this bathroom

Hindustan Sanitaryware & Industries Limited
makers of India's largest selling, largest exported bathroom equipment.

That’s it. You just make the life choice.” Richard looked up and inhaled needfully. He gazed at his cigarette. He didn’t really want to smoke it. He wanted to eat it. Almost the only thing that he still liked about Gwyn was that he still smoked…Paradoxically, he no longer wanted to give up smoking: what he wanted to do was take up smoking.
