Everyone who has ever been in India, or lived almost his whole life here (like me)
knows how difficult is it to find a public toilet. The problem becomes uncontrollable
(pun intended) when you need them urgently.
This problem is much more severe for girls/women, and has been very well
addressed in this article.
As an alternate solution, which I have personally been using for a long time,
it's much easier to go in a shopping mall/restaurant or other such places
where the toilets are easily available. But one may not always know those
places beforehand.
So, I propose to make a Wiki for easily accessible toilets in India. Its Wiki
structure will ensure that the information is wide and up-to-date.
It could have entries based on areas within a city.
For e.g.
M.G. Road, Bangalore :
1. Bangalore Central Mall, 2nd floor, just turn left from the escalator.
Hosur Road, Koramangala, Bangalore
1. Forum Mall, all floors
Since the wiki will be web based, a lot of people will not be able to use it,
when they need it. So best solution will be, if one could just send an sms
for e.g. TOILET M G Road to 1234 and get a list of all the nearby toilets.
Let's hope that it works out one day.
