but "du -xk --max-depth=1 /" will not include a file say "/home/user1/movies/virumandi.avi" in its calculation of the disk usage of / . Is that ok?
vatsil.

and which are real, space consumung, directories so {list of
directories you want to check} isn't easy to create and may well
change occasionally.
Anyway someone else came up with an effective solution to what I
want:-That works exactly as I want showing all directories on the root
du -xk --max-depth=1 /
