When it comes to footwear,I splurge.I want them to look good and more importantly fit me well and make walking a pleasure.The only exceptions I make are when I know I’m going to be deliberately abusing my shoes,
I can and will skimp on party shoes but never on every-day shoes.
I also find it better to spend on good quality leather shoes(the emphasis is on quality or fungus will destroy it before the monsoon is out) rather than sneakers.Sports shoes are great for sports but are not so long lasting for daily use.The glued together parts just fall apart and even the manufacturer can’t put them together in a way that makes repairing them worthwhile.
Quality leather shoes with good quality fittings,that give me years of trouble free service are my preference.Per use they work out cheaper than the cost of a wardrobe full of cheaper shoes,
Having acquired expensive shoes,the next issue is regularly taking care of them.So far I have made use of the complementary services offered by the manufacturers,Today I read about the shoe shine services by John Lobb,Link.Now if only they’d do ladies shoes too.

Today’s Quora Weekly Digest had some interesting stuff on TDCs. You can read more about the TDCs Here and Here.

Read!Have fun!But don’t take anything in this post too seriously and remember that stereotyping is oversimplifying.

I spent last evening at the Lalbaugcha Raja auction.It was my first time.
I am pretty pleased with my “prasad”-a lovely silver modak that just comfortably overflows my cupped hands.It’s a great item to put on my desk and watch the play of light on.Anytime,I want a physical reminder of the abundance of good things God has given me in life,I have but to pick up this modak.
One of the items for auction ,that caught my attention was a gold foot ball .All the items up for auction have been donated by devotees whose wishes have been granted.So when we see a model house or cradle we can guess what wish was granted.Now a football?Makes you wonder what the wish was for…..Also last year I remember seeing such a foot ball in the papers too.So I got googling after dinner and came across a shocking story in an old copy of the Mid-Day:Link Read more of this post
