Here's the secret to the knack of deftly picking things off the floor.

Get right to the side of the errant object, bend your knees and pick it up.

Most of us tend to bend from the waist as we simultaneously reach out for the object. Reaching out is a big no-no in Chhaya's book.

Chhaya's tip: It's very important to walk up to the object before bending from the knees to pick it up. Any other way is just unladylike!
