After a particularly tiring day at work I sat in the bus taking me home. Thankfully I was lucky to get a seat. My feet were feeling claustrophobic since the afternoon and were itching to get out of their leathery confines. As soon as I had them out, the most foul smell enveloped the interiors of the bus. Most of the bus denizens were giving my accusing stares, as if I was responsible for their deaths due to poisonous gas leak. In my case it so happens that whether I splash aftershave or wear the best perfume, usually I am immune to any olfactory sensations. So here I was, oblivious to the stares or the smelly reason behind them. Finally my neighbour on the bus nudged me to wear my shoes again and spare everyone of them from the nasal torture.
Reaching home, my cat ran to welcome me. It started rubbing against my legs and as I sat to remove my shoes, it smelled my socks bound feet and immediately regretted, making the most vile faces, as if puking without expelling any bile from its mouth.
I know this scenario plays across the world with minor deviations, so wasn’t I delighted to know that finally humans have found a solution to defeat this common olfactory enemy. I was doubly delighted to know that some highly intelligent IITians are behind this solution with their revolutionary design of a UV SHOE RACK, killing those smelly bacteria which make themselves comfortable inside your shoes and succeed in turning you into a smelly anti-social.
