Toilet in violet - the new Xavier's loo

The loo blocks on the ground floor are back. With an explosion of pink....in the case of the 'ladies' loo.

All the space has been used in an optimum fashion indeed. And as of now, they are clean, but whether they stay so remains to be seen. The doors in violet, and they look OK but I still feel its the wrong shade of violet. Same goes for the pink tiles.

Another new feature is that there is something for every market segment (in this case, the market being ...toilet seat preferences), what with English, Anglo-Indian and Indian loos. English for those who're certifiably lazy to the extent of wanting to sit even in loos (!), Indian for the gals who don't subscribe to the theory of butt-bonding, and Anglo-Indian for those who are plain indecisive about anything and everything.

The washbasins are shinier, and they don't give you this impression of slush and other icky stuff ready to pour out of the pipes. The flushes work (hehe, isn't that great !). And the showers are sleek and not leaky cranks.

Last, but not the least, it's extremely well-lit and does not make you feel like you're entering some dingy sarkari assembly line.

After those horrible monstrosities that they called 'toilets' in the hostel, this really rocks !

Even the Xaviers loo evokes memories for so many ex-Xavierites.......Which other college can boast of that???.......Not that they'd want to......but anyway.

Is that half open shutter between the two loos still there? Hasn't anybody wondered about that? I mean, we are after all a coll with so many rules and regs to keep boys from being boys; so its a wonder that thing even existed!

I've always wondered about that shutter in between the two loos as well. They could have easily built a wall in between but they chose to keep that shutter there for so many years. I wonder why.

There is a wall between the two loos now.......like a solid one.

But yes, no mirrors, I think those marble lined slots are meant for them....they may fit it in after the guys loo is also done.
