Commode

This issue can sound a bit vulgar, but everyone knows and feels the same from inside. Some express some don't! I am the one who wants to express my insights about it and its relations with the world.

Commode is an essential commodity in our lives, not just for the excretion of poop, but also for draining out the most important thoughts, decisions of our lives. Shitting is the only time when we're completely with ourselves. As experts say that one must completely concentrate on the activity and must not listen to any music or even read while in the process. I assume that it is because it might disturb the creative thinking, we're into, during that particular period.

I suspect, the geniuses would have discovered this activity as a self brainstorming session before discovering or inventing out-of-the-world ideas and concepts. One gag I remember, read in some forwarded email, which said, Isaac Newton discovered gravity after an apple fell off from the tree on his head, while sleeping below the tree. But, why didn't he discover it while shitting every morning? I suspect he'd have got the discovery calculated while emptying his bowels, but just to make the discovery sophisticated and to be able to explain it to young children he disguised his findings in an apple.

I think, that Mr. Thomas Edison wanted to light his toilet during the dark winters, which can be the reason which motivated his invention. Although, I am approximately sure about the invention of a motion picture camera, I am damn sure that he invented the phonograph to make those everyday 10-15 minutes enjoyable.

The commode has also created a lot of competition amongst the design of it and mainly the tissue papers. Whenever I roam around in a mall, I think why the hell they have a scented tissue roll with the picture of roses? Who the hell is gonna smell your ass after wiping it? Some cynics might do it, you never know!

The sound of flush is like the sound of those pleasant sea waves, but like a fast-forwarded sound-clip or a worn out, old cassette. I think that can be an inspiration for music composers to make something unique other than stealing pieces.

I don't think there's much inspiration or motivation for painters as they'll find only one colour, you know which one. But Graphic designers can learn from it as they're accustomed to work with strict briefs and tight measurements. So here's the sample of motivated brief: you've one colour. Design!

I've heard that people in Germany first look at the toilet and then the rest of the house while buying a property! I wonder what exactly they look for? The design of commode, its cleanliness or the creative environment to make most out of the daily 15 minutes.

I think India is still a developing country, not because of the corruption but because, in the glittery houses of the government authorities, it misses the breathing space of the toilet! It doesn't have the creative environment for them to think and make decisions. The dark yellow ochre accumulated around the space and the increasing smell of ammonia makes life more difficult.

You might think that I am writing this blog sitting on the commode, but please mind it that, that space is only for thinking processes and not for work!
