Have you ever seen an abacus?
The abacus (plural abaci or abacuses), also called a counting frame, is a calculating tool used primarily in parts of Asia for elementary calculating.
We were in shopping last week (for buying a curtain) and the seller used an abacus for calculating the price. It was really amazing that he still used Abacus instead of calculator.
He was an old man and I took a photo from him abacus.
It is his abacus picture:

Nice memorise dear Sewar :)
Oh my dear, really you took me back to the warm memories with your abacus. These memories have been stuck in my mind since I was 5 years old. Our neighbor’s son, who was 8 years old, used to steal his father’s abacus to lure me to play with him. Thanks for the memories.
It is really amazing that it is still in schools!
