Hygiene and cleanliness are top words hostellers are most oblivious
to. Most citizens of country are, too, but hostellers even more so. Our idea of
‘cleaning the room’ is abandon the
room for good, pack a tent and move to the Himalayas.
Our idea of bathing is body deodorants. Our idea of hygiene is, well we
have none. Some boys do keep their room clean and tidy, they are called girls.
Sorry for being incredibly sexist. Truth hurts. Tough luck.
When I lived with my parents, back during the school days, I
HAD to clean my room. It was horrible. But I still did it as I considered it as
an alternative to paying rent. I had to stack up my books and notebooks. The
protocol was to put the larger books at the bottom and move upwards to smaller
ones. But I went for a little detour every once in a while. I became obsessed
with my study table once. Had different stacks for books categorized on the
basis of importance. It was fun. For some time. And I have learnt just recently
that I was supposed to make my bed too. Bummer.
