Every once in a while, if the questions are fun, I link up with
A Complete Waste of Make Up and do the Sunday Social. Today, I am just going to let pictures do most of the talking. I hope my friends do not mind these pictures being up. If you do, please mail me at helloindigoandviolet@gmail.com and I will bring it down.
If you are mailing me to ask to remove pictures of me because it is just that horrendous - Tough Luck Kiddo!
(Not everyone is going to 'get' this post and click on all the pictures to get a better view!)
1. Biggest Middle school fashion mistake. (Why stop at one...let it all tumble out!)
2. Who were your best friends in High School? Pictures?
These were my best friends during those amazing years!
This was our last walk out of school. The LAST WALK. *sniff* | We were the fun-est people around! | I have so many better pics of Mins and me but this defines us better, cow and all. |
3. What was a typical weekend like for you in HS?
I don't think I have any pictures of me doing anything during the weekends because mostly I did not do anything during weekends and because who walked around with cameras back then. We just did things and lived in that moment without worrying about clicking it for posterity or Facebooking it to show just how cool you are taking a picture of yourself!
4. Did you have any boyfriends/girlfriends? Tell us about that.
I had plenty of girlfriends and boy, was it fun! All of these amazing ladies have grown into lovely, beautiful and successful women, mothers and professionals. I am missing a few people and I have ransacked every corner and couldn't find a picture.
We fought, we made up, we had each other's back, we cried together, we ate together and we were amazing... all in the middle of an ongoing class!
(We are all in our Indian-wear for Teacher's Day Celebrations. Oh the joys!)
Chacko-chen! Sher & See. Bins & Geet! Farzi and Saku. Silent but deadly. | Babe Talon time! Gujju bainji turned sizzler...you know who you are! Nightingales! Yasu & Geet! |
Koi Jaaye Toh Le Aaye, Dil Dil Dil...
I am in touch with atleast 20 ladies in this pic and that makes me so proud!
Out of 30 of these lovely ladies, I talk to atleast 7 of them pretty often!
5. Did you have any secret codes with your friends? Spill your secrets!
Remember this certain girls of Class XII C?
So let me explain this book. We knew each of us were going to go into whichever colleges we were accepted into and into wherever corners of the world that would mean for us. In order to create memories, we proceeded, in our final year at school, to be the very craziest bunch of people on earth. And in order to record everything we did, we made this book. Yasu, Geet, Bins and I wrote in this book regularly and sometimes we needed pictures because, you know, words weren't enough. It was an awesome year. This book barely captures half of it.
The very first page! Bins's tail Geet's wedding invite! | We depicted PK and his analogy. This was stupid! |
6. If you could relive one day/moment/experience from middle school or high school, what would it be?
I would gladly relive several years of 10A, 11C, 12C and Sunday School... happily, without changing a single thing, no regrets.
Here is one that I still laugh about:
Mins and I were just discovering Mills and Boon back then. So we kept exchanging books back and forth and one time she read this particularly juicy book and wouldn't stop gushing about it. She promised to give it me. My dad went over to her place to pick something up one evening. While she was in her hour long shower, her lil sister actually sent the book with my dad. My dad didn't look at me for the rest of the evening, after handing the book to me...behind my mom's back. He knew she would flip. Sigh!
I do hope everyone from my high school class sees this and comments. You just need to. Seriously. Love.
