What all types of days get celebrated currently!!! On Saturday, it seems it was the global handwashing day. Does not it make the whole world in to a twenty first century version of Lady Macbeth? The one damned little spot that all the scents, eh, waters of Arabia would not wash off? Ha!
Well, the entire ecosystem (to use a favourite term these days) now seems to have overcome the Covid obsession, right? Otherwise, palms were peeling off with repeatedly washing them with sanitisers of all sorts! The sanitiser-making cottage industry then had a field day indeed. All sorts, varieties and types emerged overnight. That reminds me. I must finish off the costliest variety i bought, and consistently kept on forgetting to use it. Ha!ha!
Indeed is it worth dedicating a day to handwashing? True, unlike the First World countries, not all nations use the paper roll. Even then, a day dedicated to handwashing is much too much. The whole humanity cares for such basic sanitation, and one or the other variety of keeping oneself clean does get invented and followed over generations, right? Ha! Ha!
Well, it seems, consumerism in the neo-capitalist scenario needs to advertise (unsold) products in some form or the other, right? Hence such days? Hence this insistence on wash or not to wash (hands, you, bum!)? Ha!ha!ha!
Pratima@ Dedication (even of a day) must reflect real devotion, not fancy but funny, actually funky, frivolity. What say?
