Hand wash and Culture

Is culture only about what you eat and how you pray? Cross culture marriages and inter state transfers are constantly changing food habits, body language and worship. Our elders repent that we have gone astray and that we are relinquishing our culture.

But culture is more than food and worship. It is about how you lead your daily life. Do you wash your hands before eating? Do you allow others to complete what they want to say without interrupting? Do you tell white lies to avoid confrontations? Do you talk loudly over the phone? Do you treat your employees with respect? Are you as courteous to your family as you are to your colleagues? Where do you drop spent counterfoils?

Now that is your culture. Little things you habitually do or fail to do define your culture.

Every man makes his own culture.
