Celebrate World Toilet Day Today

It’s not just the dog but toilet also has a day these days. Today is celebrated as World Toilet Day.
Wish you all a very happy and prosperous day to all of you. I hope you all had an amazing celebration today morning, but I couldn’t contribute too much because my stomach was working normal.
I wish I had a friend whose birthday matched with the toilet day. I checked my orkut friend list for any matching birthday after reading the article “Celebrate World Toilet Day today”.

Jack Sim has made some valid points regarding the situation: “The toilet has always been an intimate part of human civilization. But these days, there is a stigma associated with sanitation habits and the ‘toilet culture’,”
Jack abandoned his business and established WTO (World Toilet Organization) in 2001 for the same cause. “Toilets have to catch up with the growing standards of living in India, hence the need to privatize them — fast,” He adds.
So wish you all a very happy toilet day.

P.S: From the book “Mother Teresa: a biography”:
No task was too menial or disgusting for Mother Teresa to undertake: One sister, repelled at the thought of cleaning the toilet, hid herself away. Mother Teresa passed by, not noticing the Sister in the hall. Seeing the state of the toilet, she immediately rolled up her sleeves and cleaned the toilet herself. The sister never forgot the experience and applied herself more fully to her tasks.
