A pair of comfits (the doctor sandals)
is just a pair of comfits. It walks its wearer out in comfort.
Sometimes, the reason
for which it’s bought makes it special;
it becomes a pair of uncommon comfits.
Initially,
he was hesitant to buy any birthday gift. He thought
that exchanging birthday
gifts is a practice among kids, teens and youth.
He had crossed
forty; he shouldn’t
be into all this. In addition, he wished for a non-pompous,
silent birthday that can be celebrated best with the family and good food. But his wife pursued
him to buy something for daily use on his birthday. She reasoned that she would go and buy something
that may vary in size and colour
and thus would be of not his liking. She thus requested
Mr. Kapoor to go by himself and buy something
that he might desire. When he returned
that she might be wasting
money on gifts which she should refrain
from, she said that she would give him an upper
limit
of money to be used for the birthday gift, which she did, and which Mr. Kapoor thought
was reasonable. Even then he showed no desire to go to market.
