 Right
foot forward
Too narrow, exceptionally
large, small heel, stiff sole, shoe bite and much more. Don’t we all
dread running from one store to another in search for that perfect pair?
Trendy style, utmost comfort, right shade and easy on the pocket, it is
quite tough to have it all in one pair.

Undergrads flaunt teeny-weeny,
itsy-bitsy dresses
Pursuing higher style on college campuses, so many undergrads
are marching towards the school-girl look, merrily and gorgeously. If in
the process they look like overgrown kids with full-bloom looks, but not
so ripe sense of dressing, they are just not bothered about it,
apparently.
 Exotica
If you are in the soup thinking all about some nice and peppy pleasure
before the main course, just allow some piping hot broth to cool you
down. But before that, remember to check the frothing-with-delight menu
card! For, the bill of fare contains more than just the conventional
cream of tomato and mixed-vegetable soup.
