The one slippered traveler

Just out of the blue, a funny incident comes to mind. Here it goes, a group of us were on a visit to chennai to attend IIT-Madras’s annual event. After a day full of giving presentations and having listened to some given by others (unfortunately), we decided to chill out by visiting the nearest beach. Now, all of us belonged to a beachless city and hence the sight of the sea made us want to jump into it asap. One of us (we will call him TB) was so enthu that he forgot to take of his slippers before jumping into the sea, but soon realized that he had forgotten to do so and hastily removed it. The next wave carries his pair with it into the sea. TB frantically tries to get it back but manages to salvage only one of it. He roams around chennai with just one slipper on, turning a few heads and spreading a lot of joy around (even a waiter at the local restaurant joined us in our laughter). Somebody had the presence of mind to get a picture of that Kodak moment.
I will paste that picture as soon as I lay my hands on it (TB has a copy of it). I hope TB does not read this before I procure the photo from him.
