I conquered both of them........ Yipee!!!

There were 2 major things that i never wanted to do in my life.
1. Walk bare feet on a normal day near the Sec-bad station road.
2. Walk bare feet on a rainy day near the signals ( a common place where some creepy men relieve themselves.

Believe it or not, both my fears have been conquered.

Fear 1: Thanks to Gyana. Both of us were walking near the station road one evening. We had to cross the road. As usual the lady was speaking on the phone, unmindful of the traffic. We got stuck after crossing half the road. I moved and she pulled me back. Then she moved and I pulled her back. And then this lady steps on my sandal and i start to run, only to realise that the strap came off....We were right between the road, so i just removed the other sandal and walk till the cobbler store...Over all the dry spit and paan and what not....

So well.....I did it!!! Doesn't feel all that yuck.

Fear 2: It was 8:20 PM when i signed out at the security. It was raining heavily, right outside my office was a big pool of water. I walk out of the gate and walk right in between..... I like that feeling of walking in rain water. Then i realised that i was wearing this jing bangee gaudy sandals(my sister's). I could feel it getting loose on my right foot... I kept walking...I managed to get till the bus stop. There was this bus almost empty (a very rare sight in this city) so i started running towards it and whilst running the sandal came off... I just removed it and boarded the bus...

Then at Paradise i had to walk barefeet.... The place stinks.... But i had too... I walked back home bare feet.
It doesn't feel that bad after all....

Btw....the pic was taken in Kanya Kumari.... Lesson leart: don't wear a skirt if you are going to a beach.
