回复 “印度合伙人” 查看节目全文&TED演讲 


It is based on the real life of a social entrepreneur and activist from a rural village in India. He has introduced low-cost period pads to women living in rural areas in India.


When his wife was banished from the household during her periods, Laxmi got worried on seeing her using a dirty rag as period pad. 


He looked for female volunteers to test his inventions, but most of them were too shy to discuss about their menstrual issues. 

However after 18 months that he started his research for his wife, she left him. And after some time, his mother also left him. The whole village ostracised him. 


His mini-machines have been installed in 23 of the 29 states of India. He is currently planning to expand the production of these machines to 106 nations, including Kenya, Nigeria, and Philippines.


What is my mission? I'm going to make India [into] a 100-percent-sanitary-napkin-using country in my lifetime. 

If everyone runs after money, their life will not [have] any beauty. It is boredom. A lot of people making a lot of money, billion, billions of dollars accumulating. Why are they coming for, finally, for philanthropy? What if one decided to start philanthropy from the day one? That's why I am giving this machine only in rural India, for rural women. 


Money is not the goal, it is the consequence of success. 


背景音乐:菊次郎的夏天

    前两天刚好看完看完这部电影,让我想起了印度的厕所,在印度,厕所都被认为是不洁之地,禁止在家中入厕,所以印度广大农村地区一直拒绝在家中修建厕所,他们的厕所大多设在室外的,如果去印度朋友家做客,借用厕所是否是很不合适。电影里的妻子更愿意相信宗教,也不愿意相信丈夫所说的卫生,这种宗教对思想的枷锁与禁锢根深蒂固。这也反应了整个印度社会的现状。但是在如此迷信的社会,能像男主一样的成功,估计也是凤毛麟角了吧。影片中55卢布的护垫难倒了一大批英雄好汉,生理期的五天更是让女人浪费了生命,是根植在人基因里的封建迷信。

    今日小笔记:social entrepreneur and activist 社会企业家和积极分子。// period不只是时期的意思,在口语中还可以表示大姨妈来了。//She period is coming today.她今天“大姨妈”来了。//She is having my period./She's on my period.她“大姨妈”来了。//She period is over.她“大姨妈”走了。//menstrual月经的,每月的。//sanitary —adj.清洁的,卫生的—n.公共厕所。

    renee_n6 回复 @renee_n6: She is having her period.//She's on her period.

    不以盈利目的而创业成功的,妻子是让他产生想法,女二将他推向成功。最让我感动的是他那股坚持不懈的精神😊

    Zoey朱珠 回复 @Fools_hk: 嗯呢!总结得精辟哈哈
