Happy Feet for Mother's Day

I have always liked the concept of mother's ..father's..dog's day even though I do believe that the whole thing is nothing but another marketing propaganda to sell a brand.Coz let's face it we all say that one day is not enough we should celebrate all days but who does that.. not me for sure.

Anyways so with mother's day falling on Sunday I decided to celebrate the day with my mom by pampering her. I thought to myself why not surprise her..do something innovative..well the thought led me to take my mom out for a session of Fish pedicure at Happy Feet(Select city walk).

Fish pedicure or better known as doctor fish is quite interesting.. they put our feet in a large vessel containing about 200 fishes mind you special fishes. The fishes set to work immediately, they start nibbling at your feet removing the dead skin. No need to worry they do not have any teeth and the experience though a little daunting in the beginning can be a whole lot ticklish as well according to this Punjabi lady right before it was our turn to get in.

Well here I was trying to coax my mom to put her feet in the vessel with her squirming and I trying to retain my calm and composure as a whole lot of people watched expectantly.Eventually the helpers there came to my rescue by simply pushing her feet in the water not forcefully but a little firmly. A little scream went up in the air and for a minute there I though that the fish had actually bit her though the next minute the sight had not only me in splits but the whole audience there as well. There was my mom giggling like a little schoolgirl since she was feeling very ticklish as well as weird..in her defense as she puts it I'm vegetarian for god's sake off course I'll feel peculiar.

In about 5 minutes though you could see from her face that she was actually enjoying, as I watched bewitched at the sight of my mom's feet being nibbled by so many tiny fishes.The whole experience as she puts it was quite intimidating but relaxing as well.Her feet actually looked quite clean and pretty and felt soft just as how the helper had described.

"They help to open up the pores mam you must try it" said the helper there as I smiled at him with a painful expression.
Well mom enjoyed it..the people gathered there enjoyed the show..I'm thinking the fishes must have also enjoyed it.So maybe just maybe I should try it out as well ..hmmm maybe I will but just hope that the next time that I go, I have less of an audience as compared to my mom!!
