dost-mitter ji

Why western countries have not started installing jets on the toilet seats till now? It is time they do or atleast south asians start this practice.

Regards

Dear Dost-Mittar,

I`m not trying to offend you but You`re a Sikh, right? I say this `cos on my last trip into a Gurudwara and the usage of its loos, I noticed that every loo (that`s just a statistical assumptition - I wasn`t checking out all the toilets) had a lota??? I`m just a bit confused as to why you pose that question.

Since there is serious discussion going on on this board about lottas, can anybody enlighten me how the lotta brigade ( the one who carry the lotta everywhere) manage to use same lotta for washing bottoms, washing their faces etc ( for ablutions) and also rinsing their mouths? Yuck, thoo, thoo, thoo.

And second, has lotta brigade now started washing hands with soap after using the toilet?

Ref ali_1 #68
[Talking about lottas... I have always had problems using toilet paper...Sometimes after cleaning myself I have had some toilet paper sticking outta my azz.. how do i prevent this. CAn Godot,Hamidm or any other westerner help me?]
Please read the Sunnah and the hadiths. I am sure there is somewhere some mention of how Prophet Muhammad cleaned his bottom and you have all been enjoined to follow the Prophet in every one of his actions.
If in fact he used sand, you will have to import sand from the Arabian desert. Kitty litter may not be an acceptable substitute.
Anyway, fatwa-online will be able to give you a definitive answer rather than Chowk. Unless Mullah321 chooses to weigh in with his answer.

Ref dost-mittar #69
[Can anyone tell me how people use lota on Western toilet without messing up the seat?]
They don`t. They spill water all over the floor. Try any flight out of London to India.
[ali-1
Use a premium quality toilet paper!]
Ali is a cheap-sh!t bum.

If the ``our`` in ``our culture`` includes the Japanese, then I agree.

re: aubergine

{The one thing I wish Westerners would adopt from our culture, with thanks from us, is using water as well as toilet paper after they use the bathroom. That would be a great step forward in Western culture, in my opinion. }


...assuming you live in the West, do you carry a lota in your pocket?...

RE friend # 62
``Yes. And what amazes is creativeness of people that spans across religion and nationalities. In this case, party collecting money for Ganesha is a ``muslim`` vegetable exporter!! ``
I would recommend reeading ``God, Graves & Grandmothers`` by Namita Gokhale - it has a wonderful take on this theme.
