When I embarked on a routine shopping spree in Nakuru city a few days ago, it turned into an unexpectedly urgent quest for a restroom, as nature's call struck at the most inconvenient moment.

This was the classic tale of seeking salvation in the midst of the crowd.

Desperation set in, and the search for a public toilet commenced as I navigated through nearby stores like a washroom-seeking detective- a relatable adventure for most urban dwellers.

Finally locating the facility, I stepped in only to realize it wasn't just another restroom. This particular one provided a different environment without the awkward sounds of fellow 'guests' attending to their own needs.

The space was filled with the melodic embrace of music, transforming the atmosphere into something extraordinary.

The strains of music played a symphony of privacy, muffling potentially mortifying noises and providing a harmonious backdrop to the surroundings.

Suddenly, it was as if the restroom had a vibrant, inviting personality that whispered, "Relax, you're in good company."

Located within Nakuru's busy city centre, this particular gem near Wakulima Market stood out.

This oasis of relief didn't just offer solace, it treated its guests to a musical interlude. Gospel melodies danced from cleverly placed speakers.

James Mwangi, the owner of the facility, revealed that he has been serenading his clients with music for years now.

“Music uplifts the spirit, and in the midst of life's rush, a dash of melody can soothe even the busiest souls,” reveals Mwangi.

One customer said that the music is a good addition as it makes the place a bit lively.
