You know how you can judge a man by his shoes? Scuffed leather, cracked heels—says more than his résumé ever will. And if his feet look like they’ve trekked the Himalayas barefoot? Well, let’s just say, Namaste and no thanks!
Similarly, the soul of a household is reflected not in the drawing room with its fake flowers and laminated sofas, but in two sacred places: the kitchen and the toilet. Clean these two and the gods might just bless your house without a pandit.
Now, a close relative of mine once went to “see a girl”—classic arranged marriage scouting mission. Accompanied by elders, of course (marriage is a serious affair after all).
The girl? Stunning. Bengali Brahmin. Fair as morning milk. The family practically danced out a baraat in their heads. Half the battle won, they thought.
And then—cue horror music—he visited the washroom.
The moment he walked in, he claims his soul tried to leave his body. The mug in the bathroom, presumably used for daily ablutions, looked like it had been rescued from a swamp. Moss-covered. Green enough to photosynthesize. And the toilet itself? Let’s just say, he wasn’t sure if he’d accidentally walked into a forgotten railway station loo.
He came out pale, visibly traumatised. “Not happening,” he said firmly. “I can’t marry into a house where the mug is growing its own ecosystem.”
And that was that. Match rejected.
Reason: Environmental hazard in the bathroom.
So yes, dear readers, there do exist men who prioritise hygiene over horoscope! While some people are busy hopping from tantrik babas to feng shui dragons to balance their planets, their kitchens look like a war zone where food goes to die.
Forget evil eye—have you seen their spice rack? Even bacteria wouldn’t dare enter.
Moral of the story?
Clean your home. Especially the kitchen and toilet.
And remember, no amount of pyramids, crystals or enchanted lemons will save your luck if your guests are slipping on soggy bathroom mats or running from your kitchen like it’s a chemical lab gone rogue.
Keep it clean, folks. Literally and karmically. 😄
