A FIRE DRILL TAKEN SERIOUSLY

(Readers i have been noticing that , most of my post are rated "FUNNY" , which is pretty contradictory to my blog title.In fact till now i haven't done justice to my blog.IDK..how to do that also.Anyways !certain things are better when they are left uncorrected ). 



This post is a very serious issue. PLZ DON'T RATE FUNNY ......there is no fire anyway.jeez
here is the narration...
A incident from my office days.That night, we had a fire drill at office. We were warned about this starting a week ago. Rest were calendared for it.It was all very realistic.like “Let’s go! You know what to do! Just like we practiced! Move! Move! Move!…Stand! Pick up nothing! Walk quickly and quietly to the door and form a single file line. 


Here I Am...( n this is me .. definitely )





Dutifully, your's truly, your's obediently,(how come your's but?)  locked computer, tossed hair back, very gracefully slipped my foot in my footwear and proceeded to nearest fire exit (well almost! How was I supposed to see the fire exit behind me?! Really!).


I was a Neophyte in office. Little did I know that I was to be brought so close to the realities of life. 

Our Emergency Response Team told me to take off my shoes and proceed. Fair enough.!


Which was OK until I started going down the staircase. That was when I noticed that I was amongst the minority. Ladies with beautiful platform heels, stilettos, clump heels sashayed down the staircase. Which was still fine - I am amongst the few who really know the importance of a fire drill. :P [continues to troop downstairs whilst keeping away from assorted debris on floor].

OK OK. This can't be happening. 


I am the ONLY ONE with no shoes. (gotta heart attack)


Really,
Emergency Response Team!! 


some call it cool on gals including chetan bhagat  ..eh...no idea about that but..i definitely appeared as a fool to my eyes.

Sigh. So it happens that I prance barefoot on the gravel, to avoid curious stares at my feet(which i hate the most), and literally crane my neck to see the fire safety demonstration that OTHERS WEARING HEELS ARE COMFORTABLY WATCHING!!! (with their 'elevated' status).


Moreover i was the fresh face there..naturally every1 was staring at me n my foot.( so embarrassing )

And that is when the epiphany happened. That is when it suddenly became clear as James Bond's martini to me. I knew what was important in life (and in case of emergency fire drills).[never again in life][its was just an drill..later did i realized]

If I have to tell you this one more time.. I want to save the most valuable thing - my shoes!!


 yes..my sexy silver Joothi ( mojri) . I was in my old fav jeans and some kinda T-shirt  n i was dying to go back to my floor to collect my shoes ,but my hard luck these rescue teams are very loyal n serious about their work.one of the fellow gave a big angry stare like trying to say " Are you crazy ...u silly girl"


yes i was silly 4 him. bcoz he is was a male and i'm a female.guys think girls are silly n dumb. ( big deal..so do we rite!)

When I am wearing my shoes...

 -- I can walk, I assure you! That is partly the reason I BOUGHT them.
 -- About the heels and stepping on toes bit,
 1) Other people are wearing heels too! My naked feet just leave me more vulnerable
 2) Stepping on other people's toes is quite the norm. (Ask any corporate salaried person) Also, quite a few men/husbands/boyfriends are used to this 'heel' treatment.

-- I am more confident in my heels. I can therefore assist more people getting them out of the fire. [Really, would you accept help from someone who is NOT wearing shoes when the floor is as hot as a cat's bum?]

See?

I love you, shoes.


And...nothing. I feel so blah. This is a stupid post, I apologise.
Am just another messed up kid.. : (
