Addendum: Shoes (noun)- Comfort Stuff

Yup, some changes to the below post.

The 11th point (for Advantages of shoes over clothes) goes for stilletos AS WELL AS the male species.

Reasons why shoes are better than men/ boy friends:

1. Though both of them give you pain and agony, shoes do NOT do it on purpose.

2. Shoes have no say in the relationship you share with them.

3. Shoes are ALWAYS at your feet (like they have choice).

4. Shoes always taste the dust AT your feet.

5. Shoes look up to you.

6. Shoes have no choice BUT to do as you please. (Best part is you don't even need to say it)

7. No matter how you feel shoes will always support you and understand your pain.

8. Shoes are NOT immature.

9. Shoes do NOT get jealous when you fall in love with other shoes.

10. Shoes accompany you for shopping without complaining. (Hey, they are part of your shopping anyway)

Do I need to give more reasons to everybody now as to WHY do I love the things to be worn in the feet? That's it! I am switching careers!

In a few years, actually.

Shoes (noun)- Comfort Stuff

Yes, this is the question I frequently (read: ALWAYS) ask whenever I go to buy any sort of clothing to cover my extra large surface area. I might as well shop in the Junior section. Whats the difference anyway nowdays? What is the world of clothing coming to? I am sorry but the free sized clothes just, well, plain suck! and I refuse, simply REFUSE to shop in those stores which advertise for bigger clothes. I am not THAT big nor am I small. Where the hell does that leave me? And people FYI, a person like me. Does. Not. Lose. Weight. In. One. Night. So I find solace in shoes. Ah! That word just makes my heart skip a beat. When you finally see a perfect pair of shoes you just know in there (in your gut) that this is it. This is the one. You feel clammy. Heart beats faster. You lose your appetite. Then when you come home and try them on you do not feel like removing them and letting the whole world know about your new found love by shouting from the rooftops and posting pictures of you with them, ALL OVER! You DO realize I am talking about shoes/ stilletos. And I was describing MY feeling. I do happen to have a back problem in which I am forbidden to wear anything more than one inch. I burst into tears on hearing that. I mean, people are just mean. They are my love. If I ask them to give up something they love for sometime they will throw a godforsaken fit. But I composed myself. My shoes are gonna feel lonely, but finding shoes for me is a challenge on its own. You see, my shoes size is bigger than most people, but when I find them I feel all of the above.

Advantages of shoes over clothes:

1. After a certain age you will never outgrow them, no matter what.
2. Even if you grow width wise, your shoes will support you.
3. They are instant "pick-me-up's" (if you know what I mean, hyuk hyuk!).
4. They look good.
5. The free sized ones are not hideous.
6. You do not feel embarrassed shopping for bigger size.
7. They make your (read: my) large sized shapeless clothes look really hot and sexy.
8. They make your legs look AWESOME. You yourself cannot take your eyes away from them!
9. They give you height.
10. You can use them as weapon against those godforsaken-we-have-no-work-but-to- irritate-you eve teasers and lechers.
11. Really hot ones cause envy in the female species.

Sometimes looking good takes precedence over style. Well, for me its most of the time. I have shoes which make my feet feel as if they are on fire after an hour of wearing them. What do I do? I wear the rest of the evening. I run in my stilletos (when I am drunk obviously). I jump in them. I dance in them. I can marry them if that was allowed and legal! Oh God!

Ok I gotta go and put on some shoes as I am just stepping out. Thats my favourite part of dressing up, by the way!

Memories

Ok this is going to be a really short blog compared to what is written below.

Its nothing philosophical or deep or emotional or whatever you think will take lots of time in understanding. Um, does it happen to many of you that when you are drifting off to sleep you get memories? Like they-still-make-me-smile-those-sweet-times memories AND
they-make-me-cringe-even-when-I-am-asleep-oh-god-why-cant-they-just-
be-discarded(?) memories. The latter actually happens to me......... A LOT. Actually everytime I am about to fall off to sleep and my mind goes like, "Not this one! Not this one! The other one you fool" and then I end up having arguments with myself. In my sleep. It aint good. (What? Its my two sub-consciouses who argue with each other).

Should conduct a poll on this, eh? What say?

Turmoil of Emotions

Yup. You read it right. No need to read it again. If my life were a soap opera (hmmm I was planning to put this up as my title but then again it wasn't as catchy as "Turmoil of Emotions"), the camera would have tilted at crazy angles from all the directions possible for AT LEAST an hour starting right about now and I would have been cryin'. Alone. Since that hasn't happened so I aint alone. Plus, there is not any camera around. So coming back to the turmoil within me: I am currently feeling PISSED OFF, restless, lonely, like a loser (like a 20 something loser to be more precise), bored, sleepy, hungry, pain. Get the drift! I know you are probably appalled reading this, but hey as Ron Weasly puts it, "If a person felt so much, they'd explode". Yeah well, no explosions happening here. Let me explain to you all of the above........ one by one (said in an evil whisper).

1. PISSED OFF: Because of the 26/11 attacks. The godforsaken govt. of our country was informed earlier. I totally agree they keep on getting billion tonnes of information day in and day out but c'mon they would have gotten the info again a few days BEFORE the attacks. What did they do? Nothing. I was angered and pissed off like the other billions of people in the whole world but couldnt do anything cuz of two reasons: 'cuz I didn't know what to do and 'cuz I was on bed rest. According to me that one lone terrorist who was caught should be tortured like no one has ever been tortured before. Or better yet he should be thrown in front off the crowd in Bombay. Ooh better yet............. ok I'm getting a bit carried away here. But its annoying. And what did the politicians do? They played it to their advantage as the elections were right there. Sly lil people! I was overwhelmed looking at the peace marches taking place across the country. Though it wasn't much its only so much you can do and sometimes its enough. I cried like everyone did during these times. I cried for the people who died, I cried for their families. In a way, I pity the guys who arranged the attack and carried it out. I mean no mind of their own, no life of their own, stuck in some godforsaken desert, no education, no b'days, xmas, new yrs, diwali, children's day, holi presents. Yuck!

'cuz of really annoying advertisements too. I mean what was the marketing and the advertising department THINKING? Or what were the channels show casing the ad thinking??? E.g.: The advertismement by the Future Group (Central, Pantaloons, E-Zone). Its about giving away surprise gifts to every customer, which is not a bad thing. Everybody loves presents. Who doesn't? (Except for the guys who carried out the attacks. Probably a voucher to the blood bank is more like it.) Trust me you need to see the ad to understand it. Switch on your tv now, now now! go!

Oh and 'cuz of the weird soap operas which show the weakness of women. For heavens sake its the 21st Century! Or probably they are not able to think straight as they must be weighed down by the jewellery and clothes. Hyuk, hyuk!

2. Restless: 'cuz I have been on bedrest since, get this, @%TH oh sorry, its my habit to press shift and put EVERYTHING significant in capslock. I meant 26th November. Yes, and today is the 18th of December. Lets just say its been a helluva long time for a bed rest, eh? Everyone envies me but they shouldn't. Okay, people at work should but not everyone. I luuurve reading, but I cannot read the whole day lying down in bed. I luuurve sleeping, but theres only so much you can sleep. I luuurve eating, but I just dont feel THAT hungry when I'm lying down the whole day. And then theres the problem of walking around and bending. Got a teeny weeny disc problem in the back. So I totally "kill it" on watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S. and cracking up. Though there are times I relate to some scenes/ episodes. And I'm tired, TIRED you hear me, of taking pills. Am I a subject of some big medical experiment taking place on earth? Something like lets-see-how-many-medicines-she-can-take-in-her-lifetime-and-how-can- she-not-shoot-herself. Something like The Truman Show meets Scrubs/ ER type- thingy.

3. Lonely: 'cuz of having no friends out here. No I have friends, but no one here where I stay to talk to or hang out with. And as 3rd Eye Blind says,"I never felt alone, till I met you", except that "till I met you" part has not come and I will probably burst into tears and will be worse than the time when I burst into tears during my 2nd std. music practical exams.

4 a. Loser: Yeah I compare myself like everyone else. Oh c'mon! What did you think? I have achieved self- actualization and I am content? Of course not. People who say they are content are usually the biggest liars around. They usually say this when they are out on dates or when they are at a big gathering to make other people seem small and materialistic. I compare myself to other people for practically everything. Ok, not everything but a few things. Yes, insecurity MIGHT be the word out here. Lets just keep this point short, eh? Don't want it embedded in peoples' minds.

4 b. 20 something loser: Whenever I see famous women who are younger than I am, what am I supposed to feel? I am management trainee, which is good. I have loads of plans for my life. Lets see how it all works out.

5. Bored: Extremely! It does get boring being on bed in pain the whole day for three weeks. You try it if you think I am being whiney! My favourite part is going to the loo, where I can take in the sights and smells of the world outside my bedroom.

6. Sleepy: You feel sleepy-er if you over sleep. Trust me.

7. Hungry: Yeah I know I said initially in this blog that I don't feel THAT hungry as I am on the bed the whole day. I know I contradicted myself here, but hey, tell me one theory you have come across which does not condradict what it itself says.

8. Pain: I am feeling pain because I am in pain. Like I said I got the teeny weeny back problem and its hurting like crazy.

Yeah the bedrest has made me cynical.

And sadistic.

Filling my mind with evil thoughts.

Ooh while we are at it, lets practise voodoo! (evil laugh)

Yeah, writing something after eons felt good.
