However, this time I am going to talk about something that has been part of my life forever, and has taken up substantial time and energy (and conversation) of mine - my ShoeBites.
(mind you, with a capital B)
Every single shoe that I have ever worn has given me shoebites. Be it a lowly Bata chappal, or some exorbitantly strappy high-heeled stuff- everything results in 4-5 shoebites. So I have lived in perpetual pain in my feet almost all the time. I can still walk miles with my feet killing me, simply because I am so used to doing it.
I have developed a theory around my shoebites- I wear the new shoes for a couple of days- live with the pain- to break them in. Then a few days break- and voila! The next time I wear them, they are relatively painless.
My heels are perenially in various stages of blister formations- burst, about to burst, in conception... Not to mention my toes...and the rest of my feet.
There was a time I used to display the blisters of various colors and sizes to all my friends - since I was so proud of them. Nobody else had such a collection!
Am still suffering as I wore a nice new pair of formal shoes a couple of days back. Have this one horrendous burst blister- which means I can not wear shoes with a back for the time being.
And it reminded me of my long tryst with shoebites all my life.
Is it just me? Or my big, ugly feet?
I guess I am no Cinderella...

Oh screw teh shoe bites man. And Cinderella is so ten minutes ago.
You IZ blogrolled!
The Bata Loyalists' association is deeply offended by your calling Bata chappal 'lowly'.
@iz- thanks a ton again.
@frissko- Oh Dear! I had no intention of offending anybody- of any caste, creed, religion or sexual orientation- and more importantly, loyalties.
I love the Bata Chappal- and that is why I wore it ALL the time.
