clean your hands by plunging them in the suds.
V. K. Balakrishnan of Round Rock, Tex., writes regarding, Our Enemy Hands, by Katherine Ashenburg (Op-Ed, Nov. 27), to say that in India, most people routinely wash their hands before each meal. Since we use fingers to enjoy the spicy food (Pundit Nehru once told his guest Maya Plisetskaya that eating scrumptious Indian food using knives and forks is like making love with the help of an interpreter), we invariably wash our hands and rinse our mouths after every meal. A good hygienic practice indeed.
Paper napkins are seldom used.
In some Indian restaurants, the person who serves the meal brings a bowl of warm water with lemon rinds, a bottle of perfumed soap and a towel.
