Chappals (Sandals)


It's a bikini for your feet.

  "Look at that *insert derogatory  terms to demean feet* "
                               

Chappals are comfortable to wear whilst keeping your feet dry and cool. However, it's more than that. They grow into your feet. In hot and humid (basically Indian) conditions, these dinguses are very suitable. No other accessory bonds with your body like a chappal, it's almost like a "mother hugging" your feet.



 The oldie but goldie Chappals
                                                         


(Sidenote:National Footwear, eh?)


Chappals:


They are
  • Cheap... (Because it consumes less material to make)
  • comfortable to wear
  • Healthy for your feet


The only problem is: People don't like seeing other people's sexy-ass feet. Generally, they are worn for casual occasions because society thinks they are *iMpRoPeR* to wear. (I'm talking about the cheap ones)

                     Aukaad se upar wale chappals.


                                                           

Unfortunately, we don't care, people wear chappals everywhere... I mean everywhere. A shoe rack at any home will always contain more variations (of chappals) than the masala cabinet.


I can't tell you how many times my mom has frowned upon my choice of footwear. I have an inane difficulty of understanding that chappals isn't for all occasions. I wear (cheap) chappals to *insert any occasions or environment*. I once went to a wedding wearing a chappal (the hosts gave me a disappointed look).


Talking about mothers  reminded me...

There is another advantage/disadvantage (depending on how you look at it) of this thing...

It's a ballistic missile used by the IMA.


International Mother's Army


It's lethal and accurate. I have been at the wrong side of this battle and I can assure you, they are impervious to our eyes. You never see it coming because these missiles come equipped with a mom's home attire (they seem to wear these missiles). The only warning you get is when they start scolding you, from that point onwards you can hope for the best.

9.5/10

I cut 0.5 because Salman Khan sponsors a certain sandal company.

    The "IMA" one is very funny. I am one of the lucky men who has never been attacked by this missile.

    Mr. Akhil (in the cliched Indian manner of just omitting the surname because I dunno Akhil's surname),

    I'm just commenting because I'm just as jobless as any other back bencher at IISERK (and hence am just randomly looking up blogs on bikinis before Biology blagues )
    and I've just passed the phase in life, of being on the wrong side of a battle involving the IMA
    and I just imagined myself as a just lieutenant of the IMA ( Oh ****, now I've got that pikchah just stuck in my head, yaaaaay!!!)



    and maybe,
    just maybe this writeup does justice to the most overlooked pieces of footwear.

Local Trains

This is what happens when something is too cheap. Can you see a train? I see a human centipede A train travel's quality depends on 3 factors: Space in the compartment Number of people Cheapness of ticket It seems while maximising 2 and 3, they completely forgot about 1...like completely. How is it physically possible to fit so many people into such small spaces? (No " that's what she said" jokes) The only other place I have seen so many living creatures in a single place is a bee-hive. It is amazing to see how people get perplexed by the sight of other passengers fit into an already Indian  filled train cabin (you know it's a quite a lot if it is Indian filled), it looks like they go into some other dimension... Who thought the gateway to some other dimension would be some local train station 40 km from Kolkata? It seriously feels like living in an armpit. We'd give the game "Plague Inc" a good run for their money by ac...

Bis-kut

No, I refuse to spell it as "biscuit". You only get the emotion when you say bis-kut.  Without it, all evening snacks would be... I don't know what to say, I have never had just plain chai.... ever. Let's just say it is blasphemous to do so. Their coupling would topple the popularity of Viruksha, easily. (Although, not as cute) Saath janam taak ek saath But you can have bis-kut alone, any time of the day, anywhere in the world. It is sort of a universal food, (kind of like Maggi) and it takes no effort to make... because it is pre-baked. But unfortunately, they don't possess the power (or the nutritional value tbh) to be a meal (if you brave enough, it can be, not advised). I once had one entire packet of bis-kuts for dinner because there wasn't good food in the mess... My stomach disagreed with the choice of food, and a few hours later gave me a piece of its mind. My stomach after gulping 2 packets of dry mari-gold There is a clear cut met...
