Walk it off

This old aunty comes walking regularly in our building.She wears sport shoes,nine yard saree and pink socks.She is insanely cute :)

“[Walking] is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into the life of things. It is the one way of freedom. If you go to a place on anything but your own feet you are taken there too fast, and miss a thousand delicate joys that were waiting for you by the wayside.”
― Elizabeth von Arnim, The Adventures of Elizabeth in Rügen
