Have a fetish? Can walk!
Read about Kareena Kapoor’s footwear fetish and realised that fetishes vary according to age, sexual orientation, fame, notoriety.
Mine are boring. I make lists and then lists of lists. I check the door lock twice and then return to check if I checked.
Buying exotic shoes makes more sense. I wish I could.
The latest are imitation python. These boots are not made for walking. They are showstoppers. Heads turn, women drool, men smile indulgently, love them only if they don’t have to pay.
The wearer stands six inches taller and ten feet higher in her own esteem. Boyfriends tolerate their girl looking down from a great height and the next day, upwards, adoringly, wearing favourite flatties.
But there’s nothing like a dame in boots, especially if she’s Kareena Kapoor.

The importance of frisking
I wonder why it has only just surfaced that American Continental Airlines were not as thorough frisking the former Indian PM, Dr. Abdul Kalam last April as they should have been.
It is possible that he might have been ‘ambushed” on the short distance he had to walk. Considering that no one should be exempt for obvious reasons didn’t seem to be the airline policy.
Searching heels of men’s shoes is regular but not, in my experience, ladies shoes.
In contrast, security at Indian temples is most strict probably because of the large number of visitors.
Although time consuming, it is in our own interests. Temples lost to bomb outrage are irreplaceable but then so are travellers everywhere.
