The world is broadly divided into two types of people. One group is the one that thinks meticulously and plans well beforehand. I belong to the second group. So it was but natural that when we ventured out for our first foray to " see " Bangkok, I forgot to take care of my natural needs. Eventually the inevitable happened. Whilst seeing the various sights, I started squirming first on one foot and then on the other, all the while searching desperately for a toilet sign. Suddenly, like a tantalizing mirage, up ahead was the inviting sign showing two forms of humans, one wearing a suit and the other wearing a skirt. I was wearing neither, but these were desperate times. This was not the time to be fussy. Telling my wife and son to wait, I hurried to that beautiful sign. A dour looking old lady was sitting straddling the entrance. I said, " Excuse me. " And tried to sidle by her side. The lady stopped me and said, " You need a bath. " At that juncture I would agreed with her if she would have said I needed a shave, a tuxedo, or even a clown suit. I nodded in agreement but added in a quavering voice, " Okay! But what I need urgently right now is to take a leak. Could you please let me get in? " She folded her arms and repeated, " You need a bath. " I hopped from on foot to the other. " Listen, I need to Pee. " I emphasised this with my little finger. " Very Urgent! No go - bad thing happen! " Somehow we always feel that if we speak broken English, the other person understands you better. The lady firmly repeated, " You need a bath. " This had started sounding like a broken gramophone record. (The younger generation may not know this, but in the olden days we had CDs which were much bigger and blacker and they kept repeating things unexpectedly.) " Look lady. I shall take a bath later. What I need now urgently is to Pee. PEE! Understand? " " You no understand. You need to give me a bath! " Now this was getting quite weird. I mopped my perspiration. If things continued as they were, I soon would not need the services any longer. In a final desperate attempt, I mustered all my frantic gesticulations and gave a heart-rending performance showing all the dire consequences of delay. The lady looked unimpressed and said, you guessed it, " You need a bath. " Soon I really would need one. Suddenly, a friendly American tapped my shoulder and said, " She means that you need to pay her a Baht. " It was only then that it dawned on me that the currency of Thailand was the Baht and the lady was just asking me to pay the money so that I could proceed further. Relieved, in more ways than one, I quickly dropped the coin, a one Baht coin, into her gnarled fist and made a quick dash to the long delayed heaven.
