IMO there should be two sections on SUCH. One for the commoners and one for the high class peeps.

white water rafting excuse me? Richie rich people driving BMWs eating fancy salads and doing white water rafting for leisure...clearly, I don't belong here.

Point me to the gulli-danda section please.

That would again be me. I sport a tiny scar on my left brow bone courtesy gulli danda. Came from someone hitting the gulli, and me missing the catch. No, we don't need a 3rd section I-will-play-anything-anytime for this.

 Hey you are smart. I am still figuring out about what this such-community argue about caste, tambram fetish?!, and all of the above and why the argument started and where it ended and how it was concluded and judged and defined.

 Yes, it is not expensive and one need not know to swim to raft. Unless they want to raft for days and raft in deep currents and deep river. Mostly with family rafting the river could be like 5 feet deep.

2 is good for the first time. I really enjoy a quiet day on class 2 or 3 waters.

 what helped were several canoeing/kayaking trips with my daughter the past few weekends. reallyyy helped with steering techniques. of course none of them were rapids, just calm lakes. nevertheless, one to three hours on a canoe/kayak was amazingly relaxing.

What does one do if one is canoing/kayaking and one wants to pee?

It depends if you own the kayak or rent it. If one rents it - there will be rest room facilities available every mile or so. But then you should know few basics about rowing to the end, parking the kayak there and making it stay at a place until one returns. If you own it then you can read the recreation facilities before you go kayaking.
