The Eyes Of The Beholder.


A monster foot!

Yeah, my own! 

Today’s page is a drawing of my own foot!




Okay, after getting over your shock seeing my clumsy foot let me confess to you that I have been embarrassed, felt humiliated, and, oddly, complimented too, on its account! 

 
As a young girl, in school, my Mom, for some reason known only to her, used to make me wear boys’ shoes. Seeing my big toes, I used to think there must be something wrong with my feet!

Add hairy fat legs to it too!  

I grew up thinking my feet were just too ugly. No dainty girlie shoes for me! Though I loved heels, I could feel comfortable only in flat footwear. 

Weirdly, as I grew older, I received few compliments too, though often met with a questioning, eyebrow raised, disbelieving look from me.

   
 
It dawned on me gradually ; the shape of my feet does not matter a bit. What matters is I should feel comfortable with my own self. 

Adding pictures of a fun outing I had with few friends on an exclusive property, an old palace converted into a luxury resort.

The approach to the palace is by a special boat.

Lovely Athangudi tiles in the verandah.


 Wishing all of you a lovely week!
