Let me jump to the point right away. Indian society is not in the most salubrious of the states today, badly afflicted with every kind of social disorder. If one were to map out the roots of an ordinary Indian, he would have to cut through a vexing maze of castes and religions down to bewildering detail. The mind boggling division and sub-divisions within the society conjures up a highly entangled mesh of hatred and more hatred amongst them all. But amidst this turmoil, inspiration comes from an unusual source. There is one instant which effectively dissolves all barriers of caste and creed. The one circumstance for which the human mind can defy, even if momentarily, the enormous weight of materialistic and cultural ties which arrests it's life. When this moment arrives, there is no poor, no rich; there is no religion and no creed. This moment my friend, is great like none other - the greatest equalizer in human society - this is the moment when nature's call becomes a shout.
There is no other urgency big enough than to timely make number two before it burst opens in the world itself. Whatever faction you may belong to, cultural or economic, you will never want to carry yourself in a stained underwear for rest of the day. And imagine the borderline cases you have been into, how many times have you cared about your social status or the caste you belong to or the pride you have taken in your affluence. When you gotta do it, you just gotta do it. And the moment you enter into the toilet and you loosen and position yourself and you know you have made it, rare feats can compare with the joy of victory so attained. You are not just any ordinary person on a commode, you are the king on your throne. The joy of expelling can attain orgasmic proportions. This is the point of extreme happiness, regardless of whoever you are, you can arrive at it. The task demands equal commitment from everyone and favors neither the rich nor the poor and those who can accomplish it, are the kings. You can be the king in spite of whoever you are and this is justice and equality in true sense.
This little run of search-position-discharge brings everyone at one equal level. It lays the foundation of a society which is just and beautiful in demeanor. Our quest for such a world has evidently been a futile effort, nothing more than a clueless trot. The questions maybe complicated, but answers may not be necessarily as snarled. Infact, they are very simple and all around us. In this embroiled society, toilets provides us a glimpse of the perfect world - where everyone is equal, where everyone is happy and there is peace and harmony all over. While nobody can undermine the importance of toilets even today, they are still abominated in general context. What we fail to see though, is that the objects of abomination today can very well be the temples of a new world order.
So next time you are into a toilet to do your daily business, don't forget that a peaceful future of humanity begins right where your butts are.
