YouTube - Watch - Indian&Western Style Loos
There are basically two types of squatters on the pot. The Indian style and the Europian style. So when you start building your house, the engineer will ask you a query as to what style to put in what bathroom (rest room, in US parlance) – IWC or EWC (WC==Water closet)? You have to choose the right one. It is normally EWC for the master bedroom where the memsaab and the master will be cosy and comfy. But for the “common” toilet is relegated to the “desi” style. Even our trains have 1 out of four in “Western Style”. Though the converts to Western style commode is growing, owing to the comfortable seating and the possibilities that it throws up for “multi-tasking”, you can’t discount the inherent advantages of our Indian style. More on this theme as you progress!
The Euro style is really versatile. You can view the boy making it into a veritable paradise! Some folks are even more ingenious. The rig up a book-rack, hi-fi, a PC (or even a pantry 
) inside the rest room!
Yes. Toilet is the place people are at “ease”. Whether it is a mere pee or the “big one”, you release all the tension that has built up in you and you regain your poise and equanimity after the affair is over. So the loo is the real stress buster of your household.
But there is one risk, as the wont of all good things in life! You remember Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction
Womenfolk have another set of issues. In a survey conducted by Time on the views of single women, one member of the species avers that it guarantees the toilet seat being always in down position! Men lift it up for a standing pee, but forget to restore the status quo after the discharge ends. The just roll the thing in, zip the fly up and leave. Lazybones, what!
Someone had reported in a court that his penis got injured when it was caught between the toilet edge and the seat sue to a design defect. Perhaps he was awarded a huge compensation, but what about the functional loss? Ok, it is not our problem. Look at the predicament of this man. Can you offer him a solution? Have a heart, yaar!
Now to the Great Indian loo and the way of squatting. Research has found that the Indian style of squatting with the knees bent and the thighs pressing on the abdomen helps in better movement of bowels. And because the muscles are stretched and the joints are bent, you are forced to finish the affair quickly and get out. If you need more dope on how to use one, the above picture may be of help!
There are hi-tech loos like this one too. You can’t stop progress, can you!
Now some fastidious dude has made a customized loo in a personalized style and he carries it wherever he goes!
Ok. Enough of this aromatic research!

I have to tell my daughter 100 times to get out fast. She sits..and sits..and sits..!!
I agree that the WC is comfortable but like you said in the end, the Indian style is better.
But after using the WC for a long time…it becomes difficult to use the Indian style.
LOL – customised Loo.!!
Did you miss a ‘h’, Narayananji?
Hee. Never thought the topic of loos and how to use them will merit a complete entry.
Kudos to you
Another thing with this wester toilets is that some people don’t like to put their “seat” on the toilet seat that has seen many others’ “seats”. This is particularly a problem in public toilets.
