[Leica] Juneteenth

[Jayanand Govindaraj]

The colloquial Tamil word for toilet, in the villages, is "thottam", which
means garden. In our ancestral home in the villages, a similar construction
stood at the far end of the back garden.

That said, the slave quarters is a darned sight better than what 20% of our
population live in, even today.

Cheers
Jayanand
