I am really in doubt whether this is my vacation or not!!! I am frustrated, bored and separated from my husband. Is this the vacation I imagined? O god! Why did I see ONLY the greener grass on the other side?
When boredom reached my bones gnawing thru my flesh, (it sure was painful!) I started going thru my old cupboards. [Did I think of going down the memory lane?]And guess where did I reach? A whole lots of passport size photos. Some from college identity cards, some from old application forms (of course, unsent!).
It was easy to find out the years, from the seals stamped on them. I didn’t have the patience to scan them. So I took its photo (Gosh! photo’s photo, and imagine its clarity!) and now I am ‘trying’ to show it here…. Hope it gives an idea about how I looked thru the years! *rolling eyes*
Note: Studies say that constant boredom and frustration can impair some brains!
1991 - 8th standard! (the only existing proof that I HAD long hair!)
dont be scared...its again me (1992), in school uniform! (after a disastrous hair cut!)
1993, after 10th exam (its in my eyes!). Btw, its my dad's ever-fav photo...he had framed it and put it in his room!
From my college ID card (1997) (hair is neither long nor short...!) [My fav..LOL]
(2001) in my everfailing attempt to regrow my hair! **sigh** [my hubby's fav!]
(2002)
There is also another photo in my Passport which always make Indian/Irish immigration officials doubt my identity! They honestly think that I am not the one who is in the photo. Btw, I am not posting it LOL!
what is your fave?
ReplyDeleteHi Dana, welcome to my page! thanks for visiting and commenting...i have edited the blog with others and my fav's too...!!!!
ReplyDeleteHey Swati, I was just reading your blog when i recieved your message. You know my parents and in laws both live in california and we (my husband and I) lived in Maryland while he was doing his residency. When we used to visit ca my husband told me we both will reside half the time at my parents and half the time at his. He did not want to be separated. He said what kinda vacation is that. Although, I was often tempted to stay more time at my parents. But didnt. Looking back, I think he had the perfect solution. However, when he didnt come with me I stayed with my parents. Why dont you guys do that?
ReplyDeleteBtw, I like the 2001 and 2002 pic the best. Have you noticed how are face slims down as we get older. I'm not just talking about your pics but I have noticed in mine pics.
ReplyDeleteSoph, ONLY face??? I was a heavy 55kg at my first 2-3 photos and down to 47 kg at the last photos! LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteI love that first pic... maybe because you look somewhat like me there. ;-) That's exactly how I used to wear my hair when I was younger. :-) The last picture you look like a doctor... maybe because you're all in white? The others are great too, but in all honesty, I'm partial to long hair so those I think are best. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI loved all ur pic Swat Chech.
ReplyDeleteBy the way ur first pic remind me one of the famous south indian actress. the worst part is i cant remember her name.
Guys anyone that actress name? it's ok i'll find out and post it.
u look sooooooooooooooooooo cuteeeeeeeeeeee.
wow..wow...swati ..u look cute...especially those blck n white steal the show
ReplyDeleteLong hair for you... They suit you like anything.... May be not a long braid... but in layers... something to frame your face and the hair behind reaching your mid back.
ReplyDeleteI love your tied hair look too!!
You have beautiful eyes and you got to pull back hair to highlight them (eyes)
PS I loved all of them.... :) *hug*
The blue dress one looks really really sweet [:)]
ReplyDeleteBtw--U studied in Holy angels' ? Recognised the uniform!! ;)

ReplyDeleteI have gone thru this stage during my last vacation. Found out few of my old pics. Was surprised how different I looked then.
Looking at my 10yr passport immigration officials always doubt if it's me. They always look at it for a long while.
Wow.....nice old memories...
ReplyDeletei love 1st one

ReplyDeleteAll pictures are really lovely.
ReplyDeleteYour Husband's favourite is the best, I feel. And second best is your Dad's favourite. All through the years, where did your hair go???..lol.
