It was in class 5 when I first held a geometry box and zindagi mein khushiyon ki jo leherein ayi! I felt like an architect who was about to use a complex apparatus to draw diagrams which not many people could understand. I felt grown-up. I felt I had a purpose!

But soon I realised that most items in the geometry box weren’t of any use to me. The only thing I properly used was the compass and the protractor to measure if my angles were accurate. I already had a pencil, a sharpener, an eraser, and a scale, so to have another set didn’t make much of a difference. Also, to this day, I don’t even know what the divided and triangular scales are for.

Having said that, a woman shared a picture of Twitter which accurately captured such “functions” of all items in a geometry box. According to it, the sole utility of a divider is for kids to draw on wooden benches and that of the triangular scales is to come into use when one loses his/her ruler!

Somehow, most of us ended up losing the eraser and the sharpener, and also, that’s the worst possible pencil one can work with!

Have a look at the woman’s tweet here:

People online heavily agreed! Having been reminded of their childhood, many had some serious questions to ask about their beloved geometry box!

Is there a way for future generations to just purchase a compass and a protractor? If not, then there will come a time when they grow older and ask these very same questions!
