If you have traveled in India you would know by now, shoes are normally not allowed inside homes, temples and a lot of other places. But, recently shoes were not allowed in press meetings and any meeting that involved a politician. It is not because there is anything holy about a politician, but quite the opposite.

There were so many incidents where journalists and common people threw slippers at all the lying politicians. I guess I don’t have to use lying politicians, just politicians would do. I think these incidents were inspired by the shoe attack of Bush. Some people in India threw packets of chicken biryani. But, none of them hit the mark. I guess it is quite difficult to pull this off. Focus and concentration are key to this and tons of Yoga would help. I can suggest an asana to perfect this.
