A man is
known by the socks he wears
13th October
2004
Today as
I sat on the bus, waiting for my
destination, I could not help but look
at the socks the male populace adorned
as they went about their respective
lives... tried to imagine the occupation
of these guys based on that fact.
Black,
white, multi-coloured, patterned, smart,
dirty, torn, clean, matching socks and
yet there were those that didn't wear
any.

* |
Blue socks matching blue
punctiliously creased trousers.
Well polished black shoes.
Someone on his way to an
interview or a new job. |
|
* |
Brownish socks, in dirty black
shoes and green ill-fitted
trousers.. Perhaps a man who
would not prefer to wear the
western dress code were it not
for his office or convenience. |
|
* |
Maroon socks with a visible rip,
tucked in brown shoes, matched
by brown trousers. Talking
loudly on his cell phone. This
guy was a purchaser or in
real-estate. |
|
* |
Black socks, black shoes,
starched white shalwar kamiz,
brief case in hand. A trader on
his way to business or a
traveler arriving or departing
from the city. |
|
* |
Glimpses of white socks from a
pair of Nike shocks... faded
blue jeans... a student on way
to tuitions or to meet friends. |
|
* |
No socks, beach sandals, baggy
jeans. Someone who wants to look
trendy, by adorning the casual,
I don't care look. |
And as
for me, I was wearing black socks in
black shoes along with black trousers...
no guesses as to where I was headed,
right? |
