..you gotta go.
If you are new to Bangalore (or anywhere else in the country for that matter), the first thing that strikes you as you drive across or stroll across the city is the number of people (usually men) answering the 'call of nature'. This could be anywhere - empty plots of land, busy roads, residential neighborhoods, literally anywhere. Of course, we could all blame each other - but the fact is that we lack civic sense and we also lack the sanitation infrastructure to provide the bulging population a cleaner way to answer the call of nature.
In this perspective, this video circulating around of Asha volunteers trying to solve this problem, is really commendable.
In the same vein, Bill and Melinda Gates foundation also called for innovations in re-inventing the toilet :-). There is a good business opportunity here for all entrepreneurs out there.
