It should not be written though.....

There is a reason behind everything, sun, moon, earth, life, human,IIT all have a reason for existence.We are always annoyed when we remind ourselves of being called bloddy indians by British people, we are still looked down upon by people from west, we are not openly called bloody Indians openly as we are a nuclear power now.I agree that It was inept on their part as the remarks are very discriminatory.But there are reasons in support, may be we do not know very common and small small things. We do not know how to litter and how to shit even.Why should we, the IITians, get scholarships go abroad and make things unsavage and unclean.I know some of us come from villages, where forget about flush and English Toilets, even Toilets are not there.But we must learn, we must learn some very basic things.Atleast from the instructions written on inside of doors of Toilets in Trains.I know its hostel, but so what,making a hullabaloo is justified, listening music at loud volume when your neighbour has exam next day is justified,even tumbling the dustbins over is justified but leaving your shit in the commode for the exhibition is something that is strictly avoidable.God, what prevents people from just pressing a knob to flush.We can not save water this way and I can bet this can not be their concern at all.I remember Abhijeet telling stories about inept sanitory habits of one of my classmates who used to share room with him at Mumbai, It was funny when we were told that he used to squat over commode.I remember watching people going towards toilets with their noses closed by fingers and taking a glance inside making sure if everything is okay, Thanking God when they do not have to flush others' shit, and many a times if they find it unflushed they just look for another empty toilet.Its shameful that even after reaching in twenties people do not learn proper sanitary habits even.Its a pity.Boys there are no separate classes for it, its a shame to teach things like it, and am myself a bit embarrassed at it.Hope this post can bring some awareness to the still unawared ones.
