Purple - that's my colour!

It's not easy to get what you want at exactly the moment you want it. Well, I am talking in terms of shopping. Yes, confession of a shopaholic. I love purple and I have dresses, shawl, sandals etc. and I had (mind the word - had) a pair of purple shoes as well. I am enjoying my vacation in Trivandrum (SouthIndia) with mom, dad and sis. We happened to visit Kanyakumari today. Purpose can be clear from the click below:



It was awesome, stupendous, thrilling, exciting. I remember we two (sis and me) started hooting as soon as someone said, 'Hey, there comes the lord'. Excitedly, I went near the water to have a closer view and offer my prayers at the same time. I did keep my shoes at the least accessible corner beneath a rock. (at least that was what I assumed) My sis asked me to click a photo for her while offering prayer to the lord and no sooner did I pose for that than I heard 'Alas! Mukul (my pet name) your shoes and chappals of mom'. Oh no!!! I did see my the left shoe being taken away by the ocean. The waves moved to and fro and tried kicking back the shoe but only to take away with the next wave.
Discriminating aspect was: my mom's chappals were thrown back on a rock and she was quick enough to jump on that slippery rock and get it back. Whereas mine was never even closer to the rock. :(  Sis got swiftly in action, looking at my drooped face and was excited to go into deep waters and get that back. I had to hold her hand with all the energy I could summon up in the morning and at that time. Mom, sis and dad tried giving all possible reasons as to why the shoe was taken away by the ocean to lighten up my face. I certainly would have been more sad had I been alone.
Dad was of the opinion, that it will be thrown back but only till the time, I could see my shoe floating high on the waves far away from us.


Ahhh!! what to do with the right part? Had I to bring it back as it was my favourite pair of shoes or rather the most favourite one among the shoes I have. Well, I untied the laces of the right shoe and with a strange and emotional feeling, ( I know it sounds weird, but at that moment I was emotional) silently put the other part of the shoe into the water as well.


Well, on a chirpy note, Kanyakumari is famous for stones and I bought every possible chain from there.
