I have spent good two hours responding to comments on facebook this evening. Reason – I have been tagged in a photo from my school days by one of my friends. Because I don’t normally put my photos on facebook, all my facebook friends are having a good time pulling my leg by commenting at the photo.
My god! I looked very different then. In fact, I only learnt today that I was an ugly girl then but Amma always told me that I was a pretty girl and I liked to believe her. To reassure my self, I had a look at some of the pictures from my college days..and eeks..though I wouldn’t call myself ugly in those pictures, I can believe that I looked different to how I look now. In few years time, perhaps I will look at my current pics and think the same. Isn't that funny, how we always look back at our old photographs and have a laugh?
Well , it doesn’t matter how the photo looks, true beauty is deep within and it means to have a honest heart, warm smile and a belief in yourself, right?

ReplyDeletebeauty is deep within
LOL, for me its the other way round. When I see my old pics, I wonder, how tension free I was during those days. Now I am employed and I am also married; how sick life has become ! and these thoughts would always end with a deep sigh ! :D :D :D
ReplyDeleteagree here wid u "Beauty is how you feel inside, and it is not something physical...." time to introspect ourself...... thought provoking post.
ReplyDeleteTrue beauty lies within and that is why your amma always found you beautiful... :)

My childhood pics are hidden in a secret box... I used to look very ugly then and I don't want anyone to see them... :D
Very well said.... The beauty is deep inside our heart...
