My Privacy Battles

I'm a great champion of privacy as you'll guess by the title. Not only that I'm a fastidious person who is very keen on cleanliness. But in our great country, words like privacy,personal space or personal hygiene are of no use. It would take a whole new composition to write about our people's hygiene standards! So let's talk about privacy.

Everyone has a right to privacy. But alas! In India it's an alien concept. If I talk about myself, my bathroom tops the list of my private places. But here in our country it's not considered as a private place. Once a lady came from our building whom I only know by face came just to see my bathroom...Now my bathroom is not jewelled or anything. I was bemused. It took me a while to recover from the shock! I politely refused as it would be violation of my private place. But she didn't think of it as a private place. For that matter, we don't consider anything as private. Nothing is beyond our reach. Be it bathroom, bedroom or somebody's closet. Yes, I have seen people rushing into one's bedroom opening the closet to see if they have bought any new clothes! These violators of privacy think what you have got to hide. Well, I have many things to hide, from fake eyelashes to stashed away chocolate-chip cookies.

There's no concept of personal space either.People just don't understand.. I am sure everyone must have had an experience in a lift when 10 people try to fit in a space made for 6 people. The same thing happens in a bus or train. With your every breath, you get to smell people around you.

As writing about this giving me creeps I am going to stop for now. Will write again when someone comes to see my bathroom again!

 

Thank you.
