Not everything in Bathroom is sh!tty..
I am serious. Seriously.
It is bathroom where it
all starts. Please stop laughing. Am not kidding.
Ok, what's the
similarity between mom's lap and bathroom- you find solace at both the places/
you feel the most comfortable to cry. (And you are
not embarrassed to have/ have had sh!t there).
Isn't it the bathroom
that has mostly been responsible for all the life changing decisions?
It's here where you always get your doze of determination.
Zero interference. No
compulsion. Purely voluntary and absolutely personal!
A place of complete withdrawal from the world and a complete surrender to self.
Is there any other place in the world that can be so customized (imagine not even your girl friend/boss will bug you here if you stay here longer.

Is there any excuse in the world more convincing for not answering your call than to say that "Sorry, I was in the Bathroom". (Tip- You can even use this excuse every day without sounding absurd. Even Murphy's Law doesn't apply here).
Bathroom - where you get
to look into your own eyes and "say" things with such sureness that
you have never been before.
I think I owe it to the
Bathroom for all the times I realized that it was a high time to make
or break things up in life (Mostly breaking though).
While your hands play
with water in the basin, and you gaze at the mirror, You begin the intellectual
tête-à-tête with the You inside. And Voila! you hit the bulls eye. You
get replies. You find long lost affirmations and the bridges between your
doubts and possibilities.
An important business
meeting or a difficult exam- bathroom is the place for the pre-run.
Moving forward. Public
toilets- epitome of human creativity and prose. Remember the school toilets and
not to miss the ones at the railway stations and the super graffiti.
When you are caught between the chicken-or-the egg theory, suddenly someone pulls you and hands over a chicken wing and that’s when your Thought flight takes off. (Einstein had an omelet though).
Only if your questions
are simple, your answers will surprise you.
P.S.

He continues to ponder
And his wife moves next to him.
She looks. They look at themselves
Looking through the fog.
She has a meeting she says in about
Thirty minutes, he has
Something too. But still she has
Just stepped out of the bath
And a single drop of water
Has curved along her breast
Down her abdomen and vialed in
Her navel then disappeared
In crimson. …….
I used to sing in the shower
ReplyDeleteDance like I was in the rain
Watch all of my worries
Be washed down the drain
I’d use all the hot water up
The mirror covered in steam
So the bathroom was foggy
Like on a cloud, in a dream
I’d wash my body with soap
That smelled just of a daisy
So I was clean and sweet
Then I’d shampoo like crazy
I used to sing in the shower
But that was when I had him
When he left I was drowning
And he knew I can’t swim
