Pulled out my childhood photographs among other stuff, coz Annika wanted a "dekho" - and took a lil trip down nostalgia lane. The school/college photograph albums are lying outside, so I see them often. But the album with my kiddie snaps is lying inside a cupboard and rarely ever comes out - the only kiddie snaps I see often are the two that are in my parent's bedroom : one in which I'm angry about being made to wear a new dress ( can't imagine that happening today - LOL! ) and the second where I'm all over my father like a little monkey! Hehehehe...anyways most of my photos have captured that facet of my personality...I hate being called "bandariya" but as I saw the photos yesterday I realised how I earned that title - I was obviously an impish kid...there were hardly any photos where I wasn't laughing with this mischievous glint in my eyes, or looking like the devil is plotting something - there's even one where I'm smiling like this angelic kid, but you get the impression that I've just done something naughty and am gonna lay the blame on my brother! LOL! And then my mother related a few instances - like the time I dislocated my elbow, or ran the sewing machine needle through my index finger, or set my thumb on fire, or shared a toast with my pet dog Tika...and Annika is pretty sure now that the devil she thinks lurks somewhere in me, resides there permanently! LOL!
Ain't it so much fun to hear these silly little stories of the stuff you did as a kid that put those extra grey hair in your parents' hair? :)
