Funny reading about Kapu's toilet troubles, With a Sivananda colony upbringing and all that Rao Sahib laziness we are guilty as charged as far as the toilet is concerned
There is no space more peaceful than the toilet and the time spent there reading either the newspaper,reader's digest, bill bryson is time well spent and sheer bliss
The time spent rises with more children you have ( a kinda avoidance strategy)
I still remember telling kapu lets clean the upstairs toilet when they were just built so that we can say later we struggled when we were young -cleaning toilets etc but little did i realise that even at 40 years plus I am still cleaning toilets here ! Anyway life goes on, but remember there is loads of peace in your toilets, forget meditation this is IT

hi ravi,
i realise that u couldnt help responding to such an important topic in ur life. it brought u out of ur self imposed exile.
i always tell the kids the story of how u used to irritate kalu by lecturing about the ways to dispose shit :given in our SPM book.
1. in camps put it in a bucket break into small pieces with a stick and dig a hole and pour it in!!!. that was ur favourite to tell kalu at meal times.
does ashwathas book still have all those methods i wonder!!!!
kapu
I use it as an escape too, especially after Advaith was born as amma can testify...
While i was living in 90 sivananda colony, i remember thatha coming upstairs once (when he was still able to climb the stairs) and giving me a big lecture about the state of the toilets. Unfortunately i dint get Ravi chitappas favourite dialogue "kudisaila irukirathuku thaan laiku" :)))
It seems that two things resonate deep within the hearts of this crowd and strike a chord...input and output
