Major consideration is given to cross ventilation only when we talk of suffocation; but many other harms are also caused to the body and the environment through little or no cross ventilation.     In big cities, where we have congestion of people, house are built mouth to mouth, which makes it possible for someone to jump from a building to another; do you think it's possible to have fresh air? Same also in rural areas, because of their low standard and willingness to increase their income, they prefer to manage their lands to build shops close to their houses, at the detriment of their lives; do we say the devil is at work when we suffocate to death at night?       Similarly, students also make use of their windows as a shoe rack; blocking the blessing and the soothing cozy breeze from enchanting their body while asleep in hostels; do we also blame the management for those plights?    Ignorance they say, is a disease: but what do we call t...
