English or Indian or the Anglo – Indian.............

Well don’t think that I am here to compare the English & the Indian Cultures. Yes but a common aspect in both which is practiced in different ways can be compared as a fun though. WHAT ASPECT???? Can u guess??

Never mind if u cannot. The other day myself & one of my friend were discussing about the new place we were about to go, the rooms of the Infosys’ campus & all. At that time another friend just queried if the restrooms or what we commonly call as “toilets” will be common for all. Well a thoughtful & worried question. The fact is restrooms are attached to the rooms. The specialty being that they will contain Commodes, the English Toilets.

Ahhhh!!!!! I saw a friend being uncomfortable to it as he probably being unused to the English style.

So that’s the point or aspect of comparisons. Toilets are used by people from English cultures & Indians definitely use it, many roadside or railway track-side people giving greatest ever proof for that. The style used is different, though the universal task done is the very same.

Now-a-days many comfort seeking people go for the English style as its very comfortable where u just sit & yes u can also practice multitasking…..like one might read newspaper or some novels or do any other possible task. But the Indian style doesn’t give this comfort….ya but one good point is that we get good exercise for our limbs & thighs in it. Also the Indian style seems to be more natural, isn’t it?? I wonder what the English people used to do before th

e commodes were even invented. Where did they sit??? The Indian style doesn’t need any toiletries, you can just go anywhere in the nature, as it is you are attending Nature’s call…….

Each has an advantage, so what to do??? Y not to have a commode and use the Indian Style….as it is nobody sees when u do tht in a close room…...So Anglo – Indian Style can b thought of….isnt it.?? A patriotism in the foreigner style……!!!! What say??
