I've always had this strange fascination for feet. Something I do when i meet someone for the first time is to check out their feet...After all shoes too, like clothes maketh a man (or woman). I don't remember how this fascination began. But probably since I've been in an all-girls environment through out my schooling and college life, I've been sighting a gazillion feet ever single day in a riot of colours and a variety of shapes, sizes and textures. I judge the person based on the footware they are wearing. If it matches their ensemble, if it suits the weather at the moment or their age and personality. I get very finicky as well when my feet get dirty. I'll do all that i can to save my feet/ shoes from gettin wet in a puddle, even if it requires me to walk on my hands.
I feel feet have character. Long toe nails, bright red glossy nail paint, stubby toes, strappy shoes, or whatever it maybe... all of this adds to the individuals persona. Another obsession I have with shoes is that they need to be neatly arranged in a row starting from the slippers to the closed shoes from bright to dark colours. On my recent trip to Goa my eyes received a treat as I saw so many slippers in numerous colours. My roommates in the hotel had a hard time putting up with my obsession as I always bugged them to arrange their footware at the door in a neat row. But ultimately i ended up doing it most of the time (though i must admit i did enjoy doing it) I know.. I sound a li'l crazy for finding joy in arranging slippers. I guess I should start a shoe shop or work outside temples where people leave their slippers and shoes before entering inside. I'll probably have a blast in arranging and admiring them.. or I'd probably become nauseas and suffocate because of the foul odour emitting from some shoes.
