Remember how, a few weeks back, I had forgotten my shoes and had to come to office in office clothes and bright neon colored running shoes? Well, let the records indicate that I am nothing if not a quick learner. Let the records further stipulate that I learn only one thing at a time. So, while I have not forgotten the shoes ever since, I did forget the socks today 🙁

Black trousers, black shoes and ankle high white print socks it is then!!

… it is “aai-pee-el-u” 🙂

Low Gultage crowds might need some translation by my friends from Hyderabad 🙂

You would think that after years and years of having the same routine every morning – go for a run, go to the gym to take a shower, drive to office – I would be able to pack my gym bag in my sleep. Apparently, I can’t do that even when I am awake!!

I certainly had remembered last night while throwing in stuff in the gym bag that it was going to be a Friday today and therefore it was going to be casual clothes for office. However, in the bargain, I completely forgot to throw in my shoes 🙁

Sitting in that gym bench in the locker room, I contemplated for about a minute, weighing in my options. And then finally just walked out in a pair of understated jeans, a casual black shirt and a decidedly garish neon pair of running shoes 🙂

After walking into office, I went from door to door asking people how I looked 🙂 Most were polite 🙂 Some even suggested that if anybody could pull it off, it would be me 🙂

Which kind of makes sense. As unseemly as those shoes look, without the shoes, the rest doesn’t look much seemly either 🙂

Yesterday, as I drove Niktia to the bowling alley, she sat next to me in the car and the following conversation ensued:

She: Dad I got a good one (joke) for you. It works best if a guy says it.
Me: What? Try me.
She: I told my girlfriend that she had drawn her eyebrows too high.
Me: And?
She: She looked surprised.

Sometimes, she makes me proud 🙂 🙂
