Bad mistake in Kolkata,India

As I took my journey to Kolkata India I strolled past through a beautiful elegant vender with colorful flowers. Little did  know, I was not suppose to sniff the flowers which smelt like sweet candy if they were out in display,not only that but I was pointing my fire-truck red sandals towards the seller. Everyone was quiet, I heard a couple of gasps which came from a man with a deep raspy voice. The sun is setting the sky had mixtures of purple , orange and pink .I look around and continue on my way through the dark full of Native Indians in the market everyone walked out of my way and faced towards me with a blank stare on their faces looking towards in my direction.As I walked backed to my 5 STAR hotel I went online to check etiquette in India as I read a couple of post I found out it was disrespectful to point my toes at someone and sniff flowers that are in display. I'm embarrassed,and now I'm informed and will take what  I learn on my new adventure in Kolkata.
