Foot massage 😁

Posted on by Sushmita Sahay

What’s the one luxury you can’t live without?

This prompt today really made me think. I thought about  some real existential ones you know…about the essential aspects of life , air to breathe ,time to myself, love etc. but then the masseur ladies from Bangkok and  all the other masseurs who have done their hard work  on my feet 🙏 came knocking at the conscience.. and foot massage came out on top.

This is one luxury treatment that gets my vote over a lot of other things. Love, air, water, retail therapy – all can fall in line after.

Imagine the calm and soothing press of thumbs and fingers on the tired soles of the feet…the circular pressure into the arches and the ankles. Bliss , bliss and bliss 😊😊

      2. If you know foot massages, they don’t come cheap in any country! So that is why it has been listed as a luxury in this post. And they come with all the paraphernalia – air-conditioned room, a foot bath, great comfy recliners and they charge a bomb. But as I said, this is one luxury I can’t do without.

  5. One such soothing process did breathe life into my numb nerves (or choked veins?) and set me back on my two feet to manoevure the smooth silver sands of Goa. Unfortunately, never asked his name… never thanked him enough! I WISH I HAD!

    It all started with my daughter’s quick visit to India and her deep desire for a family time before she flew back home. GOA was the only option, the best one too, as my son was too busy at college there. Well, as the plans were set, my right leg came in the way! An arthritic issue had stalled my free movement and travel for quite some time! Well, my firebrand daughter never took NO for an answer and bundled me up on the train.

    As we snaked in into our destination, I realized I was in deep trouble! My limbs froze… this time, the good partner one too! Somehow, they dragged me out onto the platform and into the wheel chair the kind coolie had pulled in as a forethought!

    The challenge did not end there! The ‘NO’ never worked for any of the visits made around; I hobbled around… graciously supported by the two stalwart siblings! The beach episode… I still remember the “OMG could one be this adventurous!” looks that met every move of mine. And then, right after I settled down onto the strong footed charpai, this local god of the feet arrived and offered to heal me!

    I have no clue how he did it, but he did set me back on my two feet in the next 20 mnts. Thanks to him, the rest of the trip went normal… without much drama !

    OMG that appears to be RAMAYAN! Sorry Sush!

Expressed words carry a world of meaning in them. I love to read, write and speak. Sharing my random musings here is a pleasure 😊
