From towns to cities, from billboards to mere inscriptions on heavyweight trucks, words of wisdom abound in this incredible India. There's no dearth of free advice, of course. But that's not our concern right now. We are more interested in a signboard hung in front of a public toilet in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. A photo of the signboard has caused a buzz the microblogging platform Twitter. The board reads, "Sir to the left because madam is always right," while directing people to the two different sections of the toilet. Whether you consider it a slogan on women empowerment or not, the words have definitely piqued the attention of social media users. The post was shared by Teri Mitti famed lyricist Manoj Muntashir.
