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?
