THE PAIR OF SKECHERS.

 THE PAIR OF SKECHERS

Mason found himself in a public restroom at the bustling Connaught Place in New Delhi, the city's din replaced by the echo of running water and the scent of soap. As he washed his hands, he was unexpectedly drawn to something unusual. He could see a pair of feet under one of the closed stall doors. But it wasn't just the feet that caught his eye; the sneakers they were wearing, their vibrant colours against the dull restroom floor, sparked his curiosity.

 

From a distance, the sneakers could be mistaken for a Nike, Adidas, Puma, or Reebok design, thanks to their comfortable and sporty look. However, as Mason approached, he noticed the unique design elements that set them apart. These sneakers were not just a fashion statement for a young, hip personality but a symbol of individuality. They provided comfort, style, and a cultural identity, all in one package.  Intrigued, Mason decided to examine the sneakers from a closer range.

 

Afraid to make a noise, Mason slowly and silently walked closer to the closed stall door, where he could see the pair of sneakers. But wait! It was a pair of Skechers. Mason was instantly reminded of the recent 2024 Super Bowl advertisement he had just seen that morning on TV. In the commercial Skechers, the brand uses the cherished star of the A-Team to poke fun and remind you that while there’s no actual T in Skechers, Mr T is indeed wearing them. In the ad, Mason recalled Mr T showing off all the shoes Skechers offers and the different situations in which the shoes can work. The ad is so much fun that even people who are not sports fans enjoy it.

 

Behind the closed stall door, Mason discovered a pair of black Skechers sneakers with shades of grey. These sporty sneakers not only followed the fashion trends of the time but also boasted a durability that was hard to match. They were lightweight and breathable, perfect for casual activities like chatting, strolling, or hanging out with pals. Mason observed that they were made of breathable, lightweight materials, giving them a casual appearance and a comfortable fit. The soft, flexible soles made of foam or rubber were an excellent blend of durability and cushioning that is the hallmark of every Skechers sneaker. As this type of sneakers appeals to most, Mason deduced that the wearer must be doing well and have good taste. He imagined touching the sneakers and feeling its velvety suede texture. It was unique, bold, and a piece of art. It had a lace-up style in tune with popular street culture, art and fashion trends, reflecting a cultural identity that resonates with many.

 

Suddenly, Mason was jolted from his reverie by the sound of water flushing. Embarrassed, he turned his heel and walked away from the restroom at a brisk pace. He didn’t turn to look and find out who the Skecher wearer was. He had already formed an image in his mind and didn’t want to spoil it.

MEMORIES OF SCHOOL DAYS

    MEMORIES OF MY DAYS AT ST. EDMUND’S SCHOOL   Nestled among the hills, ours was an Irish Christian Missionary School. It was founded by Edmund Ignatius Rice, a great missionary and educationist. The story goes that he belonged to a family of tenants who were into farming. When tragedy struck, and his wife died, he was left alone to care for his daughter with special needs. He sold his elegant house, moved into a stable, and opened his first school. Today, about 800 Christian Brothers in 28 countries run prestigious Edmund Rice educational institutions and follow in his footsteps.   St. Edmunds School had colossal buildings built by the Irish Brothers amidst picturesque settings. The school had three large play fields. It also had a very tranquil and very quaint chapel. Prayers were offered here in the serene atmosphere. The classrooms were spacious, roomy, and airy, with a giant blackboard in front. An intercom was fixed in the top corner of each class, through which our Principal B
