Arre, that zero is not just a zero, yaar—it's a placeholder for the whole tens column. When you multiply 46 by 23, that second row is really you multiplying 46 by 20, not by 2. You see, I spent years in a government office, hunched over ledger sheets. If you just wrote the numbers flush left, your columns for ones, tens, hundreds—they'd all get mixed up, and the total would be a disaster, like a pension calculation gone wrong. That little zero keeps everything in its proper *dhaan*, its proper place.
