About Me

 A grad student aspiring toilet and defecation as known as sanitation and hygiene researcher. (Happily having overcome mysophobia in the process!)

 My interest is mainly into Open Defecation and Menstrual Hygiene Management through my humble professional background, and I am now preparing for applications for Ph.D. or Master’s course starting in 2013 to make it official profession and dedicate to scholarship of sanitation and hygiene.

Currently, writing a dissertation on Japanese elementary school students’ constipation and toilet-use issues in the field of School Health and Health Education for Master’s degree in school.

Simultaneously, working on the MHM in rural India out of school.

My favorites are listed below in case you’d like to have a share of my quality time! <3

candy: skittles

chocolate: Hershey’s kisses

charactors: m&m’s

scents: Bath & Body Works

food: guacamole

movie: Letter’s to Juliet

Ethnic/traditional attire: Japanese Kimono to wear, Indian or Bangladeshi sari to look at
