    'Kissa Kursi Ka"
    What do you have in your mind when you do puja to the chair. The best puja you can offer your chair is by not dirtying it, giving it respect by doing what you are supposed to do, don't try to stick on to it, don't creat a tunnel under the table or chair to collect that extra, keep the chair clean so that next occupant can use it as it is and not order a new one, in turn will also carry on the good deeds of yours from the same chair.
