"Toilet" training [adult learning!]
Imagine you have pressure building up deep
inside your body and you are desperate to relive yourself. Your feet will
automatically carry you toward the nearest ‘washroom’ [as we like to polish the
title of the room – these-days]….but upon reaching there, you are forced to
contract your muscles even longer and stress them….why? It is occupied. It is
under scheduled cleaning. It is under repair. Not available. Worse still, left dirty
by some uncouth user before. Lucky them, unlucky you. Either you must exhaust
your bladder or you perform the dirty work yourself, after heartily abusing and
cursing them! Now, they are unlucky! After doing the “job”, some may make the
effort to hunt down the culprit and give them a piece of shit – from the mind!
Yeah, well for a simple task of relieving one’s bladders, one has to slap the
hat of an investigator at times on the head!
Would then we like it if someone else
curses or abuses us if they fall under a similar situation? Would we like to be
at the receiving end of a verbal shit? A curse or an abuse? Then what is
stopping us from adopting hygienic, civilized, mannered and clean toilet
habits? At home, in public, in office, in a hotel, a lodging, a hostel, shared
accommodation, at a family function, anywhere? Don’t you frown and shrink your
nose? Cringe? At the ghastly “sight”?
These “uncouth unlucky despos” are found
everywhere, or a circumstance may force you also to become one! Who knows, how
‘desperate’ is your ‘desperacy’? [duh]…once a person is “used” to being clean,
couth and hygienic, the person cannot survive in a contrast environment.
Microbiology experts claim that the density of pathogenic bacteria found on:
cellphones, kitchen platforms, kitchen instruments, kitchen sink, dining areas
is several times higher than the pathogens found on th rim of the toilet pot,
toilet floor and wash-basin….why? Can we not challenge this theory / claim? Can
we not negate this? Higher the presence of pathogens higher the rates of
sickness and illness. Higher the intensity of human beings’ unhygienic habits, higher
the multiplication and flourish of microbes and pathogens. This is not an under
cover information. We all know it. Everyone knows it.
We are practically allowing the filth and
dirt visible to our eyes, that which makes us frown, cringe and even has
nauseatic effect on us, to enter our bodies, impact our health and disturb our
biology. To cause us to fall sick! That which we hate to see, is going inside
our body and we are okay with it. We don’t care, do we? We are quite ‘okay’
[read: acceptable] with our own colleagues unknowingly bitching about us candidly!
No one knows who the “culprit/s” is/are!
Can we not adopt simple, but crucial
hygiene habits? At home, work and other places we visit? Why are public toilets
so filthy in our country? Why? If we care to keep our domestic toilet and bath
clean, spick and span, why not the office toilets? How would we like it if our
organization sacks us or fires us thanks to our unhygienic unhealthy manners? This
filth, this dirt, this seemingly disgusting ‘ambiance’ that we ourselves
create, gets straight into our heads. Creating the same impact on the mind. The
mind impacts our behavior. Our behavior impacts our work. Our organizations
monitors only our work, not the activities inside the toilets. But…..!! well!!
These toilet habits impact our performance
at work….that which reflects on our CV!! Just imagine!!
