Get the bright red Bumble from the Hoptimist collection from Denmark for your car or work desk

Author : Supriya Sehgal

There might be little chance of feeling beat or overworked in Copenhagen. After all, it is the capital of one of the happiest nations of the world&mdashDenmark. But if you were to feel drained at some point of time, a shot of Hoptimist cheer is all you need. A round, happy face and a springy neck bobbing in front of you can be hard to resist. Since a smile is almost imperative, I thought a bright red Bumble would be perfect to counter traffic woes in Delhi. Lodged on the dashboard of my car, he is now used to a swish of the hand as soon as I hit a jam. Only if a mid-sized Hoptimist didn&rsquot cost as much as &euro24.95, I would have got the whole family of the girl Bimble, the boy Bumble and the frog Kvak, conceived by cabinet-maker Hans Gustav Ehrenreich in 1968.
