MODERN BATHROOMS CREATE BAD LUCK

MODERN BATHROOMS CREATE BAD LUCK

MUMBAI, India (Wireless Flash) -- The layout of your bathroom could be causing your luck to go right down the drain. That's according to Rohit Arya, an expert in "vaastu," which is the Indian equivalent of Chinese "feng shui." Arya says it's considered extremely bad luck to have your toilet in the same room as your shower or bathtub because it supposedly pollutes the same area where you clean yourself. In fact, "vaastu" practitioners say you can't really become prosperous unless you move your toilet out of your house -- or at least put it in a separate room. Since modern bathrooms usually combine toilets with tubs, Arya says you can reduce your bad luck by simply keeping the lid of the toilet shut whenever you're not using it. Arya is the author of the new book, "Vaastu: The Indian Art of Placement" (Destiny Books).
