nosey situation

                         The other day the power went off just as i was about to listen to Christmas songs and do the long - due dusting in my office...Drats!!i was thinking of wiping the floor as well and working without music is like an engine without oil...it just doesnt flow ......(what a metaphor!!) Disgruntled, i slumped on my sofa and stared at the ceiling for a while..The staring was soon boring and tiresome...(strained the neck actually..). I glanced down at my phone and decided to keep myself busy texting. I guess everyone was busy because none replied within the next 30 mins.
                        So, i clicked on the camera, and started taking pictures of myself from various angles...
I also discovered the ugly truth about my nose....My nose has always been big but i never really paid much attention to it nor be in any way intimidated because of this feature.I guess it runs in the family because both my paternal and maternal grandpas have huge noses,and i inherit that particular trait on the double...
The dissapointing factor is that my nose is as wide as my lips!!!!booo hoooo hoooo hoooo hoooo
Here's what i am talking about.......

You dont need a measuring scale for sure!!


So i started thinking if i have ever been laughed at or mocked at because of my nose and i couldn't seem to recollect any instance whatsoever!many a times people mock me for being fat but my nose has never been ridiculed.
I remembered the song we used to sing in school"why complain...."


Therefore, i went on clicking more ...and more mug shots of myself in the quiet office room...
 Itried with a side shot....but the nose is still so big!

so i thought..what if i could cover my nose and never show it in other snaps??
I would always look like this...kinda awkward!!

 oh well!!!winking might help..if it doesn't- then i always have plastic surgery to count on...!!!!

childhood affairs....

                                    Weddings are such delightful events that nobody want to miss out on..As a child i was always so fascinated by weddings and brides. Whenever there was a rumor about a girl getting married in our locality, i'd wish to be invited to be a flower-girl..I'd start dreaming about the dress i would wear, and secretly start to collect candy wrappers for confetti...(We used to collect the wrappers from roadsides, gutters and sometimes even buy lots of candies ,just so we could make confetti out of them)

                                    The fun part is, I was never alone in my wishful thinking ..my cousin sisters were always up and about, and we would take a plastic bag-the green/blue floral ones from Burma...(typical polythene) and roam around our street in search of anything shiny and silvery- the more the glitter, the better.

                                     We would then cut with scissors, into the most minutest of pieces we could achieve.These fruits of strenuous manual cutting would then be mixed with the small confetti that they sell in the market. We were equally excited to make the baskets to put them in. Sometimes, the bride's or groom's family would make them for us, some decorated with laces, some out of coloured paper, some box-like and some conical..Cones were for tots and box-like ones were for the older children-that was the rule!! No negotiation entertained!! The closest of kin to either the groom or the bride would be the leader among the flower girls and all would suck up to her!! She would ultimately be the real flower girl- the one to hand over the bouquet to the bride, and none had the rights to complain.

                                        I still remember the time when my aunt was to be married to a guy from Chaltlang. The prestigious opportunity was upon me to decide who would be the flower girls from our side. I had a major "buttering" session from my pals. Some would come up to me and ask if they could be included. And I, fully aware of my chance to be high and mighty...would decline saying they were not related to us in any way...Poor girls and so mean of me to be so bossy!!

                                        I guess this childhood fascination still hasn't left this head of mine. The fact that I always try to attend a friend's wedding,or browse for wedding gowns in the web, and take second glances everytime i pass by Bridal boutiques are all tell tale signs that i still am a die hard fan of weddings and wedding thingys...LOL
