Retiring room

At the 1851 Great Exhibition in London, thousands of people lined up to see one of the event’s most talked-about attractions. For a penny, visitors could not only see this modern marvel up close, but they also had the opportunity to test it out, pulling chains that demonstrated how the new technology worked. It was a mahogany-seated flushing toilet in a women’s restroom. The Great Exhibition was one of the first major recorded events that featured public restrooms. Millions of people visited the Crystal Palace during the months it was open, and the organizers knew that people would be coming for the entire day and would need a place to relieve themselves. And for women, this included a parlor attached to a room of toilet stalls.

Hi, It will be nice if you can select train that stops at CST. much much safer than LTT. CST area is good & very safe. LTT station is good but their retiring rooms are average I think. Once you are our of station it is not very good. Lot of hassling from Taxi & autorickshaw drivers. Better to take Uber or Ola to where ever you wanna go. Take a budget hotel nearby rather than retiring room. Better to be safe then taking a chance. There are few good options in Chembur & Kurla. Safe journey. Cheers!!!

CHANDIGARH: Sounds strange, but the fact is that two of the retiring rooms, which were constructed in the Chandigarh railway station, is yet to open for public usage. Interestingly, according to the authorities, the reason behind the delay is the fact that the rates of the retiring rooms are yet to be fixed by the division. Sources said after the demand of passengers in the feedback of the passenger amenities committee, two retiring rooms were proposed for the Chandigarh side of the station. With the increase in the number of trains plying from the station, two retiring rooms were in huge demand among the passengers. Almost eight months ago, the retiring rooms were readied for the passengers and were handed over by the contractor to the railways. But, they have not been opened to the public till date. The railway station has an old Sources said the higher authorities are asking the station authorities to send a report after surveying the cost of the hotels close to the station, so that the rates of these retiring rooms can also fixed on those lines. In fact, the executive lodge which is for the first class passenger is also open for public free of cost. Sources said as per the railway policy, the executive lodge can be run by the IRCTC or

Dear Straight Dope: Why would anyone want to rest in a room with a toilet? Or why would anyone move a toilet into a room of rest? And toilets used to be smellier than they are now, I’m sure. Who was the idiot who thought of this? Willie MacDougal, Whittier, California SDStaff Dex replies: Of course no one wants to rest in the room containing the toilet; restroom is an obvious euphemism. Interestingly, English (like some other languages) can express the “toilet-room” concept only via indirect terms like this. The French are more straightforward – pissoir means “place to piss” – but English has no similarly unadorned word aside from shithouse, which is not exactly usable in most conversation. Cecil John. One of the the most common American euphemisms; Cecil’s also cuzjohn, an abbreviation of “cousin John.” Even earlier terms included jakes (from the late 1530s, meaning a chamber pot) and Jack’s house or Jack’s place. By the 1800s there were several different proper names in use: the Joe, the Jane, the Fred, Miss White’s, or the Widow Jones. Of interest: john also, of course, means a prostitute’s client (since at least 1906) but in the 1800s meant policeman – an abbreviation for “John Darm,” a pun on the French gendarme. Ladies’ room and gentlemen’s room. Probably the most polite of the several designations for public toilets; also seen as just ladies and gents, boys’ room and girls’ room, and other sex-differentiated variations.

Over recent years, we have been specialising in projects that incorporate 360 sound design with the aim of re-contextualising how people experience music. Many of these projects have involved deconstructing and rebuilding existing music over three-dimensional spaces but in summer 2022 we began a collaboration withthe lighting designer Ben Donoghue andthe award-winning musician and composer Toby Young to explore what it means to, from the outset, compose a piece of music that would be experienced spatially. Whilst developing the composition we approached The Standard, London who very generously offered us one of their hotel rooms for a week in November 2022 to continue to experiment. We were really happy with what we were able to create and, with the team at the hotel, began to explore a way to share the experience with the hotel guests. The name of the project is inspired by the short-stay beds available to rent to take a break on a long journey through the Indian Railway system. This, in turn, is a nod towards the golden age of rail travel that inspired some of the interior design at The Standard, London due to its close proximity to Kings Cross Station. The project takes place in one of the iconic Cosy Core rooms at The Standard,London. Guests book a timeslot and then report to the front desk. They are given a key card and some simple instructions. On entering the low-litroom, the guest is encouraged to take off their shoes andrelax. A warm soothing voice then invites th...
