The Wonder Years

// November 17th, 2007 // Happy, Home

As is common knowledge, I am a man with a mission. There’s always something I’m working on. I started my new mission of digitalizing all the old photos lying around the house as soon as I got home. Now, old photos can bring back a lot of memories. Especially yearly class photos from school. These photos helped me recall the names of so many people who I had completely forgotten or so I thought.

But one photo from kindergarten had in it my first crush if we don’t count Sridevi. What? Don’t you judge me! She was a superstar and I was a little kid! Anyways, I don’t even remember the name of my first crush now (Was it Rakshita?) but I do remember that I used to like her and wanted her to sit next to me in the classroom. And one day, my class teacher made her sit next to me which resulted in her crying a lot because she wanted to sit next to her friend. This totally saddened me but not for long. We were 5 after all! We became friends the same day and I don’t remember how long we stayed friends. The next year I moved to a different part of the city and started attending a different school.

Coming back to the present, there’s a new dry fruits store opening this week in Lucknow and its curiously titled “Hey Keshav Its Yours” (Keshav is a guy’s name, in case you didn’t know) .  I have no clue what the name means. Let me know if you do.

    You had a crush when you were 5 years old! FIVE?! Really?

    @freeze: Its just now that I think it was a crush. At that time, I just liked her and wanted to talk to her. That qualifies as a crush, right?

    just got myself a printer with scanner yesterday and was too enthusiastic to scan my old photos ! Didn’t find many, in fact even one at my place and finally ended up scanning my PAN card :D

    Meanwhile what equipment is assiting you in the digitialization process ?

    @Venu: I was also planning to buy a scanner but then my friend suggested that I just click pictures of old photos and thats what I did. Even I didn’t have any old photos with me in Blr but now I do :)

    @JonyBr: Don’t you underestimate me! I am capable of a lot more ;)

    @Becky: Yup, you should. I just did few pics for now. It will take me years to do them all too!

    @Abhinav: Hmm, I am already feeling guilty for eating so much during my vacation including dry fruits. So you were on vacation too, huh? How come no more new posts?
