Blushing while Flushing

hahahha...as most of the foreigners, i also became the scapegoat to the technology these japanese have. having a credit of shitting in 9 countries of europe...above all being a typical indian, wherever i go to do my calls...i used to go with a coke bottle/ some sprite or some pet bottle, that too into washrooms/toilets designed for physically challenged people. hello u bettah pull up ur jaw. this is just the beginning. not because i use a wheel chair or am physically challenged (touch wood) but thats the only places where we can find water outlets. else u hardly find washbasins in toilets anywhere in europe. atleast in these few countries which i hv seen.


but here in japan, it was a total new excitement n something to do with IQ. did i say IQ...huhh..once i gave my MENSA for dummies test and the computer spat on me saying better not to take this test again in this life. first so being skeptical about my IQ, first time when i went for my shit, after my long haul flight journey, i had a very thought provoking experience. everything was fine till i didn't notice one arm rest like panel, on my right hand side of the commode with some scriptures n symbols on it. astonished and looking funny, i was puzzled thinking what the heck was this..? is it some interactive gaming as nintendo's WII calling as score hitting while shitting kinds or is it some kinda gadget of CCTV for extra security. u cant believe japanese TRICKknowlege. cant take chances. so i was smiling all the way of my act if theres some web cam out there somewhere hidden so that i look good n cheerful. come on..everybody wants to look good on TV. ..don't we...?
now am done...getting puzzled again wat this touch panel is...to my remotest though i felt it has something to do with the act itself. whoaa...the whole commode is digitalized. WTF...? am sitting on a digitalized commode at my service to do everything i want the pot to do. functions like 1) seat warming 2) initial auto sensors to flush lil bit as soon as u sit 3)deodorizers for odour absorption 4) flush sounds ( just the sounds ) to muzzle the droppings n embarrassing sounds 5) water sprayers with 5 levels of water pressure adjustment to clean 6) another spray for diff areas of ur b*tt 7) wide span sprinklers 8) stop button 9) timers cuts - just in case u did something wrong or over did things, esp for guys like me ...lolz 10) blow dryers...etc etc...!!
wat a way to shit. being a lazy sloth am just so pleased and fascinated to see this technology. forget the multi level subways or the bullet trains. this is just heaven. all u have to do is sit n shit. head over heels on this, i had a doubt, if theres some facility to hv a robotic arm with a guided joystick where u can get the hose inserted into ur rectum n have the bionic enema injected n get the shit outta ya....just in case if you feel constipated. good jeez nothing of that sort as of now. but u can always expect it. u never know. japanese technology the best....!! ;-)
now don't dream with all these facilities. you have some panels completely in japanese.you dont know what to press and how it responds. so next time you encounter these kind of commodes, i caution you do ur initial trial and error and get accustomed to the symbols. else you end up either wetting you w'hole butt and dress or burning your base if the previous fellow has put the hot blower at max level or the commode thinks you as a female and hv a total different set of cleaning functionality.

its all just another way to blush with every flush. have fun..!! and don't forget to leave ur comments.

Wasabi and Soba

japan...hmmm....the first thing we get to mind when we hear this word is an atom bomb....that littleboy and the fat man...u remember...? next comes their technology.the third picture will be of those hardworking ppl.i will talk about those nuclear stuff and that TRICKnowledge later, but here i want to tell about one intermittent thing we hardly talk about. the japanese food.

today i happened to hv my tongue taste something very very different.something real japanese.ohkay lemme be clear, am talking regarding some root or its a plant or a root plant dunno wat...but a pure veggie stuff. sorry to disappoint you folks to use this veggie word...but its true.it is called wasabi.despite having dexterity of eating a fish with chopsticks...the funda of eating this is quiet unusual.the mere look of this scared me inside out.the whole dish is called soba. consists of grey colored noodles. yeah..u read it correct its GREY colored noodles. first time in my life seeing noodles of this color ( heard that soba can be found with black colored noodles also..some day i will put that pic also...)... n u hv a small cup with some less viscosity syrup looking like fermented blood but actually made outta some seaweed, vinegar, soy and fish scales. another small cup consists of one spade like scrapper n a 4 inch length x 1 inch diameter root...with beaten sprouts all over it. thats called wasabi. now my excitation levels n my urge to try exotic foods got shot up. the game is..u gotta scrape wasabi to that scrapper n u get fine grated paste of wasabi.now take chops, mix that paste into that syrup. i remembered my chemistry lab sessions in my jr inter where i tried to mix H2SO4 with aquafortis and burnt the lab table.



That Wasabi mixed syrup to mix Soba

i was scared lil bit if some big green gaseous bubble will pop outta that potion...n a voice speaks to me "TELL ME MY MASTER ,WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU". unfortunately nothing of that sort happened..lil disappointed. now u take that grey noodles n dip them in this syrup n slurp them in. WHOA....worth the preparation. i cant tell this is the taste i like or can call as love at first slurp...but sure this is different. i expected wasabi to taste like a pith pulp...or like some plasto eraser. coz it did smell so pungent but looks tell like - hey am tasteless. this is one weird taste...something like ginger mixed with hajmola and perfumed with sweetened tincture. i swear, it did taste like that. now dont ask me when i did taste all these b4. but this is wat i felt just in case if we do. the best thing is i liked wasabi. sure this gonna be a part of my regular delicacies from now on wards.



Wasabi and the scapper

one more thing...talking about SOBA...the grey noodles, it has got high traditional values in japan. this soba is eaten as an usher of good luck, prosperity and as a good omen. esp when u move to a new house...on new years day...when u start some new venture ...etc...u start by eating soba.


My Lunch Tray : Soba + Wasabi

on the whole i enjoyed the lunch today, a typical traditional japanese style, and awaiting wat good luck this food gonna bring me...with all crossed fingers. no doubt these people are so healthy n have the highest life span rate in the world.
jai jai japaan....!!!
