And speaking of gumboots, do you have Gatorade in Mumbai? It's excellent in hot weather. It was developed as a drink for athletes - the Florida Gators (alligators) - that's a football team, really football and not soccer - another "contact sport."
Dark Wall - morning :-) - something intersting for you - Maybe!
The gumboot dance - called - isicathulo - is a dance that is performed by dancers wearing Wellington boots.Here they are of course called gumboots - there too?
The boots may be embellished with bells, so that they ring as the dancers stamp on the ground. This sound would be a code or a different calling to say something to another person a short distance away. It was basically used as a language in the mining grounds. It was an alternative to drumming.
D.W. DID you steal my licorice boots??? Never mind Mumbai, those things are alive and well here too :-) X
Gumboots from Fashion Peach in Mumbai. No kiddin!
"For mark! No sooner was I fairly found
Pledged to the plain, after a pace or two
Than, pausing to throw backward a last view
To the safe road, 'twas gone; grey plain all round:
Nothing by plain to the horizon's bound.
I might go on; nought else remained to do"
Robert Browning of course.
