Shoes and Celebrations

Jul 02, 2009 17:42

I hate shoes. Mostly because my feet are not the perfect pair in the world--broad and flat. Being flat footed, it is already a bit of a problem to walk, though I tried getting rid of the problem and currently don't have any major problems with walking. Now, on to the size. I am five feet five inches tall and the size of my feet is usually 8. My ( Read more... )

ouch! indeed. heels are fun but can be really bothersome. i was watching a show about the river Ganga a while ago and found myself quite intrigued about it. i was hoping you could tell me more about it and the celebrations for it.

I do wear heels... wedges to be precise. This is because my legs can't handle flats. So I prefer to buy versatile wedges because it puts less strain on my legs and feet (not everybody can wear heels or flats). In fact, I can run on wedges, but not on heels.

Btw, I've sent the e-mail to you. Sorry for the lateness.

Flying hugs,

I usually wear flats and can run in them, but not heels. I usually wear low chunky heels, and they are usually comfortable to walk in and all. In reality I do not have any problems wearing heels, but after a while, I end up developing pain in my calf muscles. So heels are not for a very long time for me.

byapok likhchhis!!better than ur stories!!i agree with u on both the heels n especially about the awkwardness at social gatherings part..i hate going to gatherings where unknown family members stroke my cheek n say "o ma,koto boro hoye gache!" n i'm supposed to recognise them even if i hav seen them just once before,may be 10 years ago..but i guess thats an ordeal all in our society has to bear.at least we have people sympathising.

Oi line ta, "koto boro hoe gechs!"--seriously, that line pisses me off. Thanks for the lovely comment, deba, I appreciate it. :)

Writing in blogs is easier than writing stories, coz the main and the most obvious reason is that you don't have to think much about it, just put the daily happenings of your life in words. I find it a lot more interesting and fun than writing stories, to be honest. I hope you will join LiveJournal soon, I sent you an invite. Take care.

Oh, shoes. In high school, we have to wear our traditional dress calls "ao dai" so I used to wear high heels . The last time I wore high-heeled shoes attending a wedding after two years wearing sandals, it hurt like hell.
what are saree and kurta, Andie? Traditional clothes?

@sagittarius_leo annalisemarie99 July 13 2009, 09:31:02 UTC

You guessed right: They are traditional clothes. The saree is an unstiched piece of cloth, usually four to nine metres long. It is wrapped around the body in a particular fashion and there are over 10 styles of wearing them. A kurta is traditional loose shirt, for men. Nowadays, there are kurta or kurti for women also. For men the prevalent colour of the kurta is white, but men choose many hopeless colours as well. For us women, the colours are wide and varied, and they look good as well.

One question for you: what does the 'ao dai' look like? Can you describe it to me? And you wore high heels to school? Wow! O_O

Re: @sagittarius_leo sagittarius_leo July 13 2009, 15:38:42 UTC

"Ao dai" is a long gown with slits on either side for both men and women. The two long slits along the side allow the gown to have two free floating panels in the front and at the back of the dress. We must wear a special pair of trousers (usually , silk trousers) .Nowadays, men don't wear ao dai much, only in some important ceremonies like weddings, funerals, or other "traditional" occasions ( ... )
