Old Memories! :)

I have so many memories of the time this picture was taken - both of us very very angry when we were photographed. I was around 4 1/2 years old and used to have really short hair - like all kids do. My dad, who was a bank officer, had just been transferred and like all bank officers are treated in small towns, my dad was a very respected & well-loved person in Ongole, then. Some neighbours wanted to decorate our hair with all those flowers and take pictures and set about doing it - inspite of the fact that I had hair that was just a  few inches long. They somehow managed it and finally when I got ready - I found my 'poo-jadai' shorter than my sister and thats it - I started a big scene & started crying :D And my sister - her 'netthi-chutti' was given to me and she made a big scene about it and she started crying over it. So finally - this is how the picture came out :))

Ha-ha! This picture is always a subject for discussion at home - that my sister is trying to scare me off and I am wondering what she was trying to do :D

This was taken on my first birthday. My mom says that I was very happy seeing all the food infront of me and out of the happiness, I started playing the tabla on my newly tonsured head :))

One of my all-time favorite pics! I love the expressions in the picture here - and I really like the idea - the way this picture was taken! :)
