Its a common sight in most cities in India to find people peeing in almost every street side corner. Public awareness campaigns carried out by newspapers have managed to inject some amount of shame into the civic(!) creatures and made them hold themselves till they reach one of the public toilets or the Sulabh Souchalayas. However, the problem is far from solved and street corners and public walls still stink.
Now, here is a solution to a problem plaguing most municipalities in India for so long that they have given up worrying about it. 
Mexican designer Miguel Melgarejo has come up with a public urinal concept dubbed “Axixa” (urine in Nahuatl) that will help in maintaining the cleanliness in the streets.
Featuring the shape that a leak leaves on a wall, the public ceramic urinal generates a permanent mark in public streets or places where people can urinate and participate in a manifestation in which the disposal itself becomes part of the public life.
This prototype may be worked upon to develop a solution for our Indian streets.
Next, I think we need something in these lines for the guthka spitting menace!
