World Toilet Summit in New Delhi

In November 2007, the World Toilet Summit will be held in the Indian capital of New Delhi. Many years ago, I put myself through college by working as a janitor. Clean the toilet and then clean yourself. To clean the toilet, please use janitorial supplies. To clean yourself, please use a shower and antibacterial soap.

If you do not clean the toilet, it will become unclean. If you clean the toilet regularly, it will stay clean. Do not allow uncleanliness to accumulate. Therefore please keep cleaning the toilet regularly to prevent uncleanliness to accumulate.

Always keep a toilet brush. Each time you use the toilet, please clean it using a toilet brush. I clean my toilet bowl almost every time I use it. I clean it about 5 to 7 times a week. Never let uncleanliness to collect. Keep cleaning it every day.

When in doubt please do ask one of the largest universities in the world, namely http://www.youtube.com/. It is this university, http://www.youtube.com/ which has one of the most comprehensive and ever expanding syllabus. Please do go to http://www.youtube.com/ and type the words CLEANING TOILETS. Please do go to http://www.youtube.com/ and type the words GLOBAL HANDWASHING DAY. Please do go to http://www.youtube.com/ and type the words HANDWASHING TECHNIQUE; and then click search. Please do go to http://www.youtube.com/ and type the words HANDWASHING DEMO; and then click search. After viewing the video clips, please do read the text responses directly below the video clip. You may learn something from the video clip and the text responses. If you do have a good and comprehensive way to give a handwashing demonstration, then please do upload it into http://www.youtube.com/.

Wait a minute. They are not janitors. They are maintenance engineers. Wait a minute. Technicians will tell you that engineers know nothing. They are not maintenance engineers either. Janitors are maintenance technicians. Technicians are the unsung heroes.

I hope the government of India will give free antibacterial soap to my janitorial brothers and sisters.

You also have to keep your teeth clean. It is good to brush your teeth with tooth brush and tooth paste. It may be possible to brush the teeth with tooth brush and without tooth paste too.

Sometimes you use tooth paste and sometimes you do not use tooth paste, but you always use a tooth brush. If you brush your teeth inside a bathroom, please do use tooth brush and tooth paste. If you brush your teeth inside the living room, then please use a tooth brush without tooth paste. If you brush your teeth inside a living room using a tooth brush and tooth paste, then you will make a mess of the floor and you will get scolding from your wife or mother.

Each time you watch television in the living room, please also brush your teeth using tooth brush without tooth paste. It’s called multitasking. Do not waste time. You have to put television and tooth brush together. Each time you watch television, please multitask by also brushing your teeth without tooth paste.

While watching television, please also brush your teeth without tooth paste. Brush your teeth for 5 or 10 minutes, then if your arms are tired, take a break for 5 or 10 minutes, and then brush your teeth again for another 5 or 10 minutes; then rest for 5 minutes before resuming brushing. If you have watched television for 30 minutes, you would have brushed your teeth well several times.

You may have about 32 teeth. Do not miss any teeth. Make sure that you get all 32 of them. If you brush all 32 teeth, it would be considered one round. If you watch television for 30 minutes, then you would have ample time to make more than one round of teeth brushing. When you finish one round, immediately start another round while watching television at the same time.

Please visit your dentist at least once a year.

The 3R’s are Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. It is a good thing. The so called scavengers are a good people. I have some friends who regularly put their hands into trash bins to retrieve some recyclable material. They sell the recyclable material to a buyer. My recycle friends are a good people. Recycling is a niche in the market. Recyclers know how to be thrifty. Recyclers know how to be survivors. It is a source of income.

They sell the recyclable material to a buyer. If buyers pay higher prices for recyclable material, then more people will be willing to pick up materials in garbage areas to sell to the buyers. If the government is willing to buy trash at a good price, then you can bet that many more people will be willing to pick up garbage more often so that they can sell it to the buyer.

If the price of garbage is extremely high, then may be, all one billion Indians may opt to become scavengers. It all depends on the price of the garbage.

After picking up recyclable material/saleable material from the garbage disposal area, please clean yourself. To clean yourself, please use a shower and antibacterial soap. When in doubt please ask one of the largest universities in the world, namely http://www.youtube.com/. It is this university, http://www.youtube.com/ which has one of the most comprehensive and ever expanding syllabus. Please do go to http://www.youtube.com/ and type the words GLOBAL HANDWASHING DAY. Please do go to http://www.youtube.com/ and type the words HANDWASHING TECHNIQUE; and then click search.

Before I forget, please take good care of your lungs. You should try to build your life around your lungs. You should be the lung person. Ideally, Indians should be known as the lung people, and India should be known as the lung nation. Please do some PRANAYAMA breathing exercises often. Apparently, most of us do not use the full capacity of our lungs. Apparently, we use only part of the capacity of our lungs. We need to improve our breathing to use more of our lungs. You may be able to build your life around your breathing. You may be able to build your life around your lungs. You may be able to put breathing and dancing together to develop a breathing dance. If we could use more of our lungs, we would be on the right track.

Irrespective of who you are, there is always room for self-improvement. So in pranayama, you conquer your mind, conquer your breathing, and conquer your digestive system to achieve self-improvement. So in pranayama, you conquer your mind, conquer your breathing, and conquer your digestive system to achieve self-mastery.

It is important that trash goes into the trash can. We should stop the habit of throwing trash anywhere. Remember that trash goes into the trash can. I hope schools teach children to put trash into the trash can. I hope parents also teach children to put trash into the trash can.

Why some Hindus do not eat beef? I do not know. The Indian civilization goes back to a few thousand years. To get the right answer I guess you should ask the Hindus who lived a few thousand years ago, why Hindus do not eat beef; but those Hindus are long since dead. Thus we can conjecture as to why Hindus do not eat beef. But a conjecture is only a conjecture. A conjecture is better than nothing, though. Allow me to conjecture.

Firstly, you have to think of the word “distance”. Yes, “distance”. It all depends on how close or far away from the animal you are. That is, the “distance” between you and the animal.

For example, you may eat chicken, but you cannot even imagine eating you pet chicken. Why? Because of “distance”. You are closely attached to your pet chicken and therefore eating something that you are closely attached to is unthinkable. However, eating chicken purchased from the market is not a problem.

For example, you may eat pork, but you cannot even imagine eating you pet pig. Why? Because of “distance”. You are closely attached to your pet pig and therefore eating something that you are closely attached to is unthinkable. However, eating pork purchased from the market is not a problem.

For example, you may eat mutton, but you cannot even imagine eating your pet goat. Why? Because of “distance”. You are closely attached to your pet goat and therefore eating something that you are closely attached to is unthinkable. However, eating mutton purchased from the market is not a problem.

In the case of the cow, this domesticate bovine became closely attached to Hindu society. The bovine gives milk, pulls the cart, and plows the land. It gives a lot to man. Thus, Hindus became attached to the cow. Some Hindus in villages have a cow in the backyard. Some Hindus even honor the cow by painting its horns, garlanding it, and giving it a pet name. Oops! This is the mistake the Hindus made. They got too closely attached to the cow and therefore cannot imagine eating it. Hindus DO NOT worship the cow; they do LOVE the cow.

The USA and Western world are highly urbanized societies. The farm sector or the rural sector has been reduced to a small section of the work force. Most Americans know much more about the supermarket than the farm sector. Through television Americans have seen farm animals, but few Americans have had personal encounters with farm animals over a long period of time. Thus, Americans are not closely attached to cows. It is “distance”. Thus, eating beef is not a problem in USA.

The reality is that in USA the cow is transported from the farm to the slaughterhouse; from the slaughterhouse to the supermarket; and from the supermarket to the refrigerator in the kitchen. For example, the American pre-schooler would probably think that beef comes from the refrigerator in the kitchen. The American 10 year old has seen frozen beef in the supermarket. Americans are largely an urbanized people and are attached to the supermarket, not the cow in the rural area.

In the case of India, she is a developing nation. She is largely a rural nation which is continuously urbanizing. The developed nations are already urbanized and no further urbanization may be possible. India is a developing nation and therefore can do what the developed nations cannot do: that is, she can urbanize. In fact, this may be one comparative advantage that India has over the developed nations: the ability to urbanize. Everyday urbanization is increasing in India. With India and China urbanizing, in the next few decades, we may be witnessing one of the greatest migrations in human history. In the next few decades we may be witnessing one of greatest regroupings in human history.

With urbanization, cities will swell in population. The cities with the greater population will have more political, social, and economic influence in shaping the India of the future. For example, if Ahmedabad grows to be bigger than Mumbai, then the Gujarati culture may even become the backbone of the Indian culture in due course.

As regards to the caste system among Hindus, it is sort of a job classification and division of labor. It does not take too long before you realize that it may be based on laziness: the idea is to make someone else do the unpleasant job. The ulterior motive of the caste system is to make someone else do the hard and unpleasant work: that is, I will do the easy work and let someone else do the unpleasant work. If you have lived in this world long enough you would know that there are always some people who are always conniving to avoid the hard or unpleasant work. If you have lived in this world long enough you would know that making someone else do the hard work is not an Indian phenomenon but a world–wide phenomenon. (Thus, the caste system is a world-wide phenomenon). However, the economy is changing. India is slowly urbanizing. The changing economy requires India’s human resources to be increasingly multi-skilled. In the old days, a mason was only a mason; a rice farmer was only a rice farmer; a soldier was only a soldier; and a priest was only a priest. Nowadays, each individual is required to be multi-skilled. Thus a rice farmer has to clean his personal toilet, drive his personal two-wheeler, cook his own food, do his own laundry, learn to use the needle and thread, and join the army reserves to defend the nation. Similarly, the priest has to clean his personal toilet, drive his personal two-wheeler, learn to use the needle and thread, cook his own food, do his own laundry, and join the army reserves to defend the nation. When in doubt please do ask one of the largest universities in the world, namely, http://www.youtube.com/. It is this university, http://www.youtube.com/ which has one of the most comprehensive and ever expanding syllabus. Yes, if you go to http://www.youtube.com/ and type words like CLEANING TOILET, COOKING, and HOW TO SEW A BUTTON, HANDWASHING DEMO etc. you may learn a lot. If you have some video footage to add, please do upload it to http://www.youtube.com/. Gosh! I forgot to clean my toilet after use. I shall clean it now. Bye, bye.

I’m back. One way to get rid of the laziness is to engage in sports and exercise to build your muscle. When you are physically fit work becomes less of a chore. This is where RIGHT and MIGHT are both important. In my humble opinion, it is a battle between righteousness and unrighteousness. The unrighteous will not surrender without a fight. Neither should the righteous surrender. We, however, have to defeat the unrighteous. To defeat the unrighteous you must be “hard” not “soft”. This is where RIGHT and MIGHT are both important. Just because you are right does not mean that you can win; you must also have the MIGHT to defend your RIGHT. You must engage in sports and exercise regularly to build muscle. I hope more Indians would attach value to RIGHT and MIGHT. When you build muscle you can be more hardworking; this is good for the economy. Therefore, RIGHT and MIGHT will bring overall benefits.

Physicians do recommend physical fitness to the people.

To get an education you have to sit and read the book for long hours. Sometimes when you read the book, you may fall asleep. However, if you are physically fit, then you would not fall asleep easily. To be physically fit, please do some sports and exercise regularly. There you go. RIGHT and MIGHT brings social benefits too. Therefore, RIGHT and MIGHT will bring overall benefits. Try RIGHT and MIGHT.

Gosh! I feel hungry now. I need to make some noodle/pasta soup. Bye bye.

Let us discuss how to do your laundry.

1) Firstly, you have to buy a plastic bucket. It should be 300mm at diameter and 300mm at height. You can buy a bigger or smaller plastic bucket if you want.
2) Fill the plastic bucket with water and put your long pants into it. The bucket now contains water and pants.
3) Store the plastic bucket with your pants in your living room for 24 hours. Your pants will, after 24 hours, be well soaked in water. After 24 hours in water, some (not all, but some) of the dirt particles in your pants will loosen up.
4) After 24 hours, please de-water the bucket. The bucket now contains only the pants.
5) Take the bucket and pants to a good location (close to the wall) inside your room. Lift the pants from the bucket and hook the pants to a wall. (If you do not have a hook on the wall, then hammer a nail to the wall to make a hook. The nail should be about 6 feet above the floor.) Hook the pants to the nail and put the bucket below the pants.
6) When we look at it, on top would be the nail; below the nail would be the pants; and below the pants would be the bucket. Leave it in this position for 48 hours.
7) For 48 hours water would drip from your wet pants and fill the bucket below. After 48 hours or 60 hours your pants would be dry and ready to be used by you.
8) Next, you can now repeat the process. Next, you can now soak your shirt using bucket and water for 24 hours. It is a cycle process. If you do it well, your bucket will always be used everyday. Never allow your bucket to idle.
9) You can also put your pants and underwear together into the same bucket of water; and you can also hook your pants and underwear to the same nail for drying. So on Monday you would put your pants and underwear into the bucket of water; on Thursday you would put your shirt and underwear into the bucket of water, and so on. If you use two buckets and two nails, then your quantity of wash and dry would increase.
10) Even after hang drying your pants for 36 hours, you may be able to wear your slightly wet pants. It will be slightly uncomfortable to wear half dried pants, but once you wear it, your body heat will dry it up in about 2 to 3 hours. It is like wearing your clothing on a rainy day when you got caught in the rain: again, your body heat will dry it up.
11) Using water without soap (to do your laundry) is not the cleanest way. It is an inexpensive way. But it is better than nothing. Once in a few weeks you should, however, do your laundry using cleansing agent and water.

Who are the toilet cleaners in India? It would be unfair to comment before knowing more about the subject matter. To know more about the position of Brahmins in India, please do the following. When in doubt, please do ask http://www.youtube.com/ ; it is one of the largest and most comprehensive universities in the world; http://www.youtube.com/ is also a repository of information that continues to grow daily.

Please do go to http://www.youtube.com/ and type the words BRAHMINS IN INDIA HAVE BECOME A MINORITY. Next, click search. Next, watch the video footage.

Dr. Bindeshwar Pathak in the video footage clearly states that since socially the Brahmins are number one, so the whole world has the false impression that Brahmins are number one economically too in India. Socially number one does not mean economically number one; likewise economically number one does not mean socially number one too. The video footage proves that Brahmins are not number one economically in India today. Please see the video footage before arriving at a conclusion. I quote that the footage states that 50% of the rickshaw pullers in New Delhi’s Patel Nagar are Brahmins. About 75% of the domestic helps and cooks in Andhra Pradesh are Brahmins. You will see Brahmins who work as taxi drivers, toilet cleaners, sweepers, etc. Most of the video footage is in Hindi language, but towards the end there is some text in English; it states that 70% of people employed in 1783 public toilets in Delhi are Upper Caste Hindus.

Please do view the video footage before arriving at a conclusion.

Wait a minute/ek minute kijieh. We are dealing with “distance”. Let us continue. Indians have the habit of sitting in the lotus position and eating. That is, they put a plate of food/khana on the floor, then sit cross legged and eat from the plate using their fingers. This is not the best way. We have to maintain a distance from the floor. Dust settles on the floor. When somebody walks by, it kicks up micro dust particles from the floor unseen to the human eye. Just because these micro dust particles are unseen to the naked eye, it does not mean that they do not exist. We have to maintain a “distance” from the floor as much as possible for eating as well as working. We should use our public school system to teach the next generation of children/bacchein the advantages of using tables and chairs for eating and working.

Even using fingers to eat is not the best way. Dirt particles/impurities do accumulate under the finger nail. Also, using fingers to eat allows grease and spices to collect under the finger nail. Later on, if you do not wash your palms with soap and water, then the grease, spice, and odor remain in your palm. If you start working immediately after eating with your fingers, you risk passing the grease and spice on to the books or tools that you use for work. Ideally we want Indians/Deshi to subscribe to the word CHANGE. It is a changing world. We will not be opposed to change. No school in this world can teach you as much as life itself can. We will keep learning. I assure you that what your parents and grandparents taught you is not sufficient: you have yet a million new things to learn. We want to be multi-skilled; that is, to be able to use fingers, fork and spoon, and chopsticks to consume food.
