In the name of Shower, give Bathroom its Freedom!

Now in my humble opinion Bathrooms are supposed to be a little dirty. Its in their destiny to be dirty, God meant it that way or else why would they be Bathrooms? Wouldn't they be a living room in some shining penthouse in Pansheel Park if they were supposed to be spic and span?
And pray why should bathrooms be dry? Remember they have taps and shower and tubs, and remember all these things are supposed to have water in them so that one can take bath and remember when you take a bath the bathroom is supposed to get wet. Yes WET! not dry because they is no such thing as dry shower.
And toilet seat, why should they be down all the time? Its not as if they are open manholes and somebody would fall in them. Also, can somebody please explain why you cannot read books and newspaper in the toilet, its not as if we are using them as toilet papers and then putting them back on the shelf!
And the towel! Now why cant the towel be left hanging in the Bathroom to dry. The objective is that is has to dry, period! Now whether it drys on the clothes stand in the Balcony, in the bathroom or on the chair in the bedroom what difference does it make? Unless off course you tell me that the main source of rain in Delhi is the water that evaporates from my towel when I hang in in the balcony.
Also, why cant you flush the cigarette butt in the Toilet ? It takes a lot of crap any which ways, what difference can a tini winie ciggy butt make in the entire sewage system? Its bio- degradable and hell it might even help in creation of compost, who knows?
Paintings, Yes Sire! paintings in the Bathrooms. " Come dahling, I just bought a new painting thats hanging in my Bathroom, lets sip our wines and appreciate the painting in the Bathroom"
So ladies and Gentleman , in the name of Bathroomity, I urge you to let the Bathroom be.. err..just that... BATHROOM!

Hungry Kya!!! UPSC Chatwalla


View of Delhi from Jama Masjid



I know that no one cares.... but I am Back!

You know that its been way too long since you lasted posted when-
1) It takes you 5 minutes to figure out how to write a new post.
2) The folks who earlier wrote about drunk parties and speed dating are now writing about tips on changing the baby diapers.
3) The Travelogue you followed wrote about surviving Delhi's heat are now writing about ice bath at North Pole.
4) You stare at new widgets like a teenager's first visit to a topless bar.

So I am back! Not that it really matters because not many subjected themselves to the torture of reading my blog. Well it will matter to Sake since I promised her that I will make chillum for her for the rest of my life if I didn't start posting again. So Sake there goes your chance of having your private chillum maker!

A lot of water has passed under the bridge since my last post. In my last post I had mentioned-why am I so scared of "M" word. Well I did manage to get rid of my phobia or maybe kicked out of the phobia by my girlfriend( who now is my wife). So my major achievements in the last year or so have been -
1) Getting married and staying married.
2) Getting Cannon 1000D SLR and learning photography
3) Learning to play Djembe.

A lot of posts for now onward will be photo blogs. I have been in love with my city for a very long time now and also know a lot of stuff that probably lot of people don't know about Delhi. This will be a humble attempt to show case Delhi through my camera. You can also expect a lot of Travelogue because after a year of domestication the wander lust is calling me and I already have Travel plans for the rest of the year chalked up( more on that later). So folks as you can see I am well and truly back !!!
