Hon’ble Shri Karan Singh Tanwar delivered a motivational speech on Clean India Drive (Swachch Bharat Campaign).
Sulabh International Founder, Dr. Pathak addressed the audience and said that our aim is to create awareness about toilets and sanitation. Hailing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of having a toilet built in every household by 2019, Dr. Bindeshwar Pathak said that the country will finally realise Mahatma Gandhi's dream of total sanitation.
"Narendra Modi is the first Prime Minister to have emphasised this much on the issue of sanitation. Even the developed countries have not emphasised as much," he said. Lamenting the fact that previous governments did not adopt the "Sulabh model" he expressed hope that the Modi Government will replicate it, which he claimed will help the government in achieving its objective of total sanitation.
"Our model has helped in putting an end to large scale open defecation in many areas apart from liberating many manual scavengers. The Alwar and Tonk model should be replicated all over the country," he said.
A skit “Ghar Ghar Alakh Jagane Wale” was played to show the importance of Sulabh Shauchalayas in our lives.

Close up of article about cleanliness during menstruation.
"There are many old wives tales about the things a girl should, or should not, do during the time of her monthly period. A wise girl will ignore all these tales and remember only that at this time she must be particularly careful about hygiene. Regular washing and warm baths are essential both to bodily comfort and in the interests of hygiene. It is perfectly safe to have baths and to wash your hair during menstruation, in spite of tales to the contrary."
Dad unfortunately has Progressive Aphasia and is declining mentally and physically..but we went on a long drive to the Hudson River Walkway in Hudson NY and had a wonderful short walk on the trail, on an absolutely gorgeous day.
Dad was formerly a sales manager and a very gregarious, social creature. He loved to schmooze, talk and be in the middle of any social gathering. In his younger days Dad was a superb athlete with better than 20/20 vision and reflexes like a cat. He played golf, loved boats, waterskiing, travel and driving. He raced cars like American Grafitti back on Woodward Ave in 1950s Detroit...his hometown (and very illegal and not something I'd encourage). He loved and was good at photography. he used to develop his own slides....of which we thankfully have thousands documenting our lives. These are quite precious to me now, although years ago I was bored silly by old pictures. Now I can't get enough of them! Oh the folly of childhood! Dad also played guitar very well and was quite the performer. Camp fires, picnics, open mike nights all over town, business meetings...anywhere you could play to an audience...Dad brought his guitars and delighted crowds. His Gem was a Gibson J50 he got at the Gibson factory in Kalamazoo in the early 60s. He loved the blues, rock and roll and folk music,...and especially the Kingston Trio. In fact I was named Ian after Ian Tyson, of Ian and Sylvia fame. I think this was his true calling, but I don't think he could have made the money sales did, being an itinerant musician...nor would he really have liked the musician's un-moored lifestyle. Dad is and always was quite fussy about his appearance. He is quite buggy about neatness and cleanliness. These are certainly from his mom who was the consumate 50s housewife...and a reaction to his dad who was cheap to a fault, and would for example wear shoes that hurt and clothes that didn't fit and were terribly out of style but were a cheap deal. His dad was an unhealthily odd person. He was a WWII Navy vet who saw lots of combat in the Pacific He also had an overbearing tough mother. She left home at 14, married a lumberjack in Canada, left him without divorcing him, and met my great grandfather, an immigrant from Scotland. Great Grandpa MacDonald died young and by all accounts Great Grandma was a tough person to deal with. She rose to a high position in Carhartts on the steam ships ssiling on the Great Lakes. She made good money and invested. During the Depression she bought stock in failing companies and did very well in the WWII and post WWII economic boom. As the main breadwinner she wielded this power like a cudgel...and I think we have the classic example of inter generational dysfunction. Grandpa was an odd guy, but I've never known if it was because of his upbringing or his wartime experience...likely a bit of both. Anyway Dad rebelled against this and went into sales...rather than doctoring, law or accounting much to the dismay of my grandparents. He really did everything on his own and was his own man. One should mention mom who also was a huge source of his success as she ran everything at the homefront and worked full time. If mom were paid for efforts she'd have made 10x more than dad. Dad was very successful in business and frankly loved the lifestyle. Thus it's particularly hard to watch this dynamic, self-possessed guy wither away and fade away mentally. I'm not sure I believe in Karma or anything but this is the worst fate I could have imagined for him. Time is precious and I live far away so this time together was very important..and I'm glad he got to enjoy a day out in the sun...even if we only walked about 1/4 mile...and had to rest once.
Found in an Hispanic grocery store.
Apparently, it's a combination of gelatin & pudding.
No Bill Cosby here.
I liked the lighting, the presentation and the cleanliness.

Is it really that hard to go outside once in awhile and clean your door bell? I guess yes........I went out to take a shot, took a bunch, and THEN realized it was just really filthy. So I ended up cleaning the doorbell. And the door. And the window near by. And the railing, and so now it is safe to come on over, you will be greeted by cleanliness, (though sadly that changes once you get inside). Anyway, I thought this might be a good shot for creative commons, as there are so many blogs about housework and first impressions and stuff. Have at it. Thanks for linking back to this image.

The largest tri-coloured Flag of India was unfurled with pride in Connaught Place when Dr. Bindeshwer Pathak, icon of Sanitation along with 2000 people including erstwhile untouchables of Alwar and Tonk, Rajasthan and widows of Vrindavan and Varanasi recited “JAN-GAN-MAN’. This was part of the International Toilet Festival being celebrated by Sulabh International Social Service Organisation.
On the occasion Hon’ble Shri Karan Singh Tanwar, Vice Chairperson, New Delhi Municipal Corporation, Dr. Bindeshwar Pathak and Sulabh Sanitation Club’s member students from six countries — Bhutan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Bangladesh and Afghanistan shared the dais and lighted the Lamp.
Hon’ble Shri Karan Singh Tanwar delivered a motivational speech on Clean India Drive (Swachch Bharat Campaign).
Sulabh International Founder, Dr. Pathak addressed the audience and said that our aim is to create awareness about toilets and sanitation. Hailing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of having a toilet built in every household by 2019, Dr. Bindeshwar Pathak said that the country will finally realise Mahatma Gandhi's dream of total sanitation.
"Narendra Modi is the first Prime Minister to have emphasised this much on the issue of sanitation. Even the developed countries have not emphasised as much," he said. Lamenting the fact that previous governments did not adopt the "Sulabh model" he expressed hope that the Modi Government will replicate it, which he claimed will help the government in achieving its objective of total sanitation.
"Our model has helped in putting an end to large scale open defecation in many areas apart from liberating many manual scavengers. The Alwar and Tonk model should be replicated all over the country," he said.
A skit “Ghar Ghar Alakh Jagane Wale” was played to show the importance of Sulabh Shauchalayas in our lives.
