Had your bath?!!
What is it that occupies your mind when you are having a harmless routine bath?..
You wake up, drag yourself into the day(some times, waking up is all healthy n fresh too, but thts not my point), get your major daily chore(s) done and over with, and then you enter the bathroom. There's nothing inside the bathroom that guides your mind to think of anything else but the bath itself. But, still, you seldom are aware of the act you are performing.
The bathing part(thats all the part there's supposed to be) is all mechanical. You can have a routine bath even while you are snoring. For me, it starts with the soap, to the shampoo, to the face wash, and ends with the water. There's something to the whole process of this routine that makes you float, that makes you wander off while your body keeps up the cleaning work going. Your brain keeps splashing the water all around you..while your mind is in a different place altogether.
Many go through the whole process in the company of songs or only tunes that makes it more rhythmic. Many start by going through the events that they are looking forward to in the day, before they come back for their next bath.
But, thats just the start. They eventually lose control over their thought process, and as i mentioned earlier, they wander off.
(this blog is not for the ones who take less than a couple of minutes for their baths..that is not called a bath in the first place)
You never think of social issues around you, say, medha patkar's hunger strike, or, the municipal corporation killing all the mad dogs.
You are never political. What happens to israel-lebanon or ayodhya doesnt matter a dime to you.
You are never spiritual. You dont see it as you are cleansing your sins that you've carried on to the next day.
In a way, for me, it is the best time of the day( read a weekend). Because I dont have a control over what i think. It's all random. It always is. Even if you have crossed a lethal deadline in your profession or otherwise, that fear or the search for solution(s), all become secondary.
It is different while crapping. While crapping, you dont move, you just stay stationery and let thing happen to you(!!). For some(read me), its a thorough mental preparation that results in a healthy productive session. Nothing of that sorts when u(i) bathe.
What is it that you actually think of(when u bathe)? I dont suppose science could ever answer this question. The scientists themselves might be victim of the phenomena too.

But for that matter, when do we stop thinking? Walking down the road, during those lectures, or even while dinner at times, its never under our control. Of course there are sane people who manage that, but wants to talk about them anyway?
well i think wen a person is taking bath he doesnt really think about the national issues..he only thinks about himself..well i think i can give a kinda psychological justification to it.
"i thin its coz wen a person is taking bath he wants privacy,coz somewer in his mind he thinks he is naked.hahaha!!!!!.well thats jus a theory....n he doesnt let his privacy be disturbed by any of the things that dont concern him...he only tries to concentrate on himself..i mean i thought its wonderful...and secondly as u said its the best time of the day to think i agree..i think "while u r doing ur ablutions ,for that matter even when u r in toilet and while brushing u think only about urself"...i think i kinda get y is dat so..wat ya say..
