My family and I had planned a day out at Beach on a warm Sunday. We reached there and spent a few pleasurable hours watching the waves. Evening came and it was time to head back home. But before calling it a day, I wanted to sample a Juice. That was enough tp set off my already-strained bladder. I was sure I would find a tiolet nearby. It's a tourist spot after all. We trudged back and forth for more than half an hour looking for a public toilet, asking vendors and security guards, but in vain. As time passed, I was getting more and more desperate. Things weere so bad that I was keeping an eye out for bushes. But thanks to my never ending misfortune, I couldn't not find a single one. Eventually, I decided to go to a nearby Five Star Hotel facility. I was embarrassed to go to the hotel just for the loo so my family thought up a ploy. We ended up spending Rs 100 for a cup of coffee so that I could use the toilet without embarrassment. Post ur comment and let us know whenever u have been in this position

That is sooooo crazy! But when you gotta go, you gotta go! I was in the Army, and in basic training they make you drink tons of water. They took us on this road march to some shooting range but before we started walking, they made us drink a whole canteen of water (which is a whole quart!). So we started the road march and about halfway through, I really had to pee. There was no latrine nearby just woods and the road in front of me. I dared not ask the drill Sergeant to stop in the middle of a road march because I would end up being punished doing pushups or something and then my bladder would really explode. Well we get to our destination and by then my eyes were tearing up with every step. They let us have a break and I made a beeline for the latrine. I have never been that happy to use a porta-potty in my whole entire life!

Thanks for sharing that experience with me. Because most of us cannot stop the nature's call. Toilets are symbol of development in the city. Everbody has to go to the bathroom-it is the one thing that unites all humanity. Every woman in the city has had bad experience of not finding a loo and finding a loo which is almost unusable.The real problem with the public toilet is that there is no maintenance. There is no water and there is no cleanliness.

Thats a bad experience.. I have noticed these type of things in some beaches. I think its an agreement with the hotel lobby. May be the authorities are making good money of this.
