Ok..we have laws... There is nobody to follow them. We have public toilets that some agency tries to keep clean and collects charges for keeping them clean. But the truck drivers, and homeless on the street are not going to use...

SViswan They should be taught in government schools. Even though most of my kindergarten students do not need to be taught, we still do it as a part of the curriculum. I can relate to dirty toilets :-( When we moved to India for a couple of years during my school...

I know they are helpless creatures; they are only doing their work when they keep queuing in corners of rooms and go by single files. I do not touch them when they just mind their business; but when they sit on me and inject me I...

We all known that it is important to sleep for 8 hours in a day. However, today I read an article and according to the scientists' research, this is not the best style. They found that actually the people who sleep 7 hours a day...

SViswan That's the point!! I'm NOT upset and I guess that bugs him more :-) I'm not really bothered about my own birthday after more than a decade of marriage. Now the only birthdays that are important for me are those of the kids' and also my parents and sister...

SViswan It's not really the low sum. Some of the public toilets in Bangalore are done up by Wipro and the do put in money for it. But there's no one to monitor the cleanliness of so many toilets that they set up. Implementing things is the hard part.

I couldn't find the 'Homemaker' category. We all (or atleast most of us) agree that the homemaker does a lot of work. I've seen discussions on how much the pay would be if a homemaker went out and did the same amount of work. I...

SViswan Well, 5 am is my earliest. And yes, my house is set up in such a way that my cooking does not disturb them. Though the master bedroom and the kitchen share a wall, that's the wall where I only store stuff and not do the main cooking.

SViswan Thinking logically, they didn't have time zones then. But obviously there were time zones (places to the east having their day earlier than the ones on the west). I'm sure the Mayans had some sort of calculation on that. I know for sure that most of the new...
