SlipPerS StrANge




A mysterious relationship i share with a black pair of slippers. Many reading this may wonder why this post here,silly it surely sounds but I am amused by the strange fact that i have lost them four - five times,hopes down drain and I have got them back without any efforts of searching them!!
The story goes like this... My mom bought this beautiful pair for her darling daughter after she had lost one from a friends doorstep:)

[Lesson 1: never leave them near the door step!I cannot suggest other places to keep them safe either)]


And it so happened during those fifteen days of A n E postings, a day before my birthday i think so, some housekeeping staff 'unknowingly' wore it on her way back home and i find it the next day neatly placed in the rack!It was back!!!!


[Lesson2: never keep your slippers among the hundreds!someone will find them similar to theirs:)]


Yet another time,on the next day of new years eve,i had to come home wearing my black slipper on the left feet and some random black slipper,a size bigger on the right, luckily they looked alike, staring at them all the way back home and making people look at my feet!!thanks to a friend who had worn one of the pair home...


[Lesson 3: never wear them for parties,you never know the hangover;)]


And these days my building dog Blackie is behind them!
I find them in the terrace...the first floor...under the car...my neighbours door mat..

Black Beauty a pair,

which i never get to wear!!!
