Hi! this is written by my dear brother Ashutosh :)
He nostalgically handled the weathered skin remembering its first feeling and its softness which was now battered into callousness by years of rough handling and duress.
As if bidding goodbye to a trusted old friend, for the last time he slipped his feet into his first pair of shoes, ............................
before throwing them away.

ReplyDeletewaah, bahut talented siblings hai..good one.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nice and encouraging comments.
ReplyDeleteI chose to write about shoes as among all apparels they bear they bear the most punishment and are the least cared for.
Just like our shoes we take some relationships for granted too. Our parents, siblings, close friends, spouse, and all other people who have been loyal, patient and understanding towards us yet have never emphasized their presence and importance despite being there for us always.
Then, in due course of time, we decide to go away from them in search for newer relationships. We feel sad while doing so. We know that we will miss them. Yet, we throw these relationships away like used and old pair of shoes.
:) Nice one.. keep em coming
