Well, here are three of those paparazzi moments and I believe there would be just another one or two of such lying at my native.
Bored-games!!!
This snap was taken at one of my brother’s friend’s home in Deira, Dubai. The snap shows how busy they were playing carom and look at me, as usual equally busy in my own world. I wonder (not again, huh?) what would have been in my mind at that age? ( in the picture : extreme left - my bro, extreme right - his friend, vinod)
The damn media never let me even sip my juice in peace !!!This was taken at the then Safa Park now known as Mushrif Park, Dubai. It seems till I reached a certain age, my folks had to just mention ‘Safa Park’ and I’d be this obedient kid. Parents, I say !!! (in the picture : me and mom)
Don ko pakadna mushkil hi nahi, na mumkin hain…..I was in my kindergarten when this snap was taken in our Satwa residence, Dubai. You see, I was this chota Abinav in the making, but I would have been discouraged by my parents on account of my inborn violent traits. Guess what, I still play with a gun when I get hold of one; a toy gun that is !
And as a part of the tag tradition, I hereby declare my tag victims :
Aparna, Apar, Aaarti, Vinod, Pradeep, Smita, Sakhi, Vinu, Oxy, Arvind

Guess the paparazzi knew ur were a star in the making.. even when u were a kid... hehehe.. Sweet snaps... damn sweet in all three.. U were so obedient is it when u were a kid... good to see that. Then u wud not have troubled ur parents much!Thanks to Reema, we cud catch some of these moments from ur childhood, oops don hood...:)U look so dreamy and lost in ur own thoughts in the first snap itself..thab se khwab dekhna shuru kiya kya???
Awwwww u look sooo cute!! Dreamy kid, eh? Thanks for doing the tag.
That was cho chweet! You look absolutely adorable! :)
Hey will not be able to do the tag as all my old photographs are packed for a year... i know, i know this seems to be a excuse but it is not!!! you can ask me to do something else.. can i do this tag with whatever snaps that are availabe with me?? pleeeeaaaaaaaaase!!
Hey cute pics, man! Good one! :)
cool man..relly cute snaps..so you are a mallu from gelf ij it :P..LOL.
Not sure if i can do this tag. Dont have any snap which they have taken without my knowledge.I was a big time nautanki u see..so wud give poses to everything.So if u can relax that clause consider it done :)
Awwww.....i became nostalgic after seeing these pics...
I remember coming for vacations to the house every year and going through hundreds (literally!!)of albums and looking at those same pictures year after year.
Ammayi would scold me for littering the living room with scores of albums and photos .I would drag that BIG dirty travel bag(remember?)from the loft,and it would all come crashing down on me....lol....i relived every memory through those photographs, even now if i have a look at them i am immediately transported to the same place ,same time and the same moment.
i secretly wish time had frozen then for the three of us....vinu chettan,you and me would have continued that life where my dad called us "Bloody Fools" every 10 mins,ammayi pestered me to eat more and wear longer skirts..lol...ettan irritated me by calling me "Di" every now and then ...grrr...and of course beating the crap out of you...so funny...you linking me with every guy friend of yours and accusing me of having a crush on them.....Ewwwwwww...and the gossiping and bitching about certain least favourite family members we had.....hahah
we are reprimanded for living in the past but would you have it any other way?
hey....u still look the same.
wow ...very cute pics.. This tag is more fun reading than doing :D ..
will do it soon buddy ,,thanks
Phew! Done here
btw, really cute pics...sorry...cho chweet :D
Cute! You've not changed much. Bored games was the best picture. You in your V-Lokam :)
Abhinav in making one is nice but I loved the first one. But as it is 10 yrs old rule, you could have put some teen photos as well boy.
Tagged me?? You fella won't leave me in peace na. I do not think I have any snaps that were taken in those ages. U see I was living in a remote island along with some tribal people that time.
tho cuutteee! one of my school teachers always used to tell~ there are 3 species that look really cute n attractive wen young, n mostly not-s-attractive wen old: humans, donkeys n pigs! lol n we used to rofl!! dunno y but jus remembered it.. (no offence.. :D)
but really cute snaps! ( iseriously mean it! :))
dai u look soooooooo damn cute...
how come u have changed now?? heehhee..
very sweet post da...
u remind me sooooooo much of someone in the first pic :)
lol!!! u really look damn conscious in the first pic..seems u were sitting and thinking "hope i look smashing in that click" :)) but yeah its worth the effort coz back then we dnt have freedom with photography that we today enjoy! Cute pics :)

..hmm..
john V-AMBO...perhaps??
@ Reets :
Thanks. I am still obedient.But now one would have to mention something else to tame me.LOL.
@ Reema :
Thanks. I am still dreamy!
Thanks for tagging me too.
@ Sakhi :
Thanks.
Ok, you are forgiven. Go ahead and do this tag with the oldest of snaps available and it should be candid. But dont forget to torture, I mean, tag others. LOL.
@ Nikhil :
Thanks man :)
@ Nautankey :
Yes, Im one of those 'gelf' malayaleeees.
Even I was like that, but I still managed to get a few candid ones. I am sure there would be. Hmmm...try, if not, display pics from ur childhood till now; not as collage. And dont forget to tag the rest !!!
@ Ramya :
I know; I managed to scan a lot of them and save it in my lappie. I have some of your 'the age of running-nose' fotos too ;)
You made my all sentimental with the rest of ur comments. Seriously, how I wish time stood still at that time. Or even if I had a chance to go back in time, that would be the period I would want to go first. Heyy, your dad never abused me, I was stuck with his head trying to find out grey hairs. For all the torture I went through, I got my combed cleaned by you each time you came on vacation. LOL. Those cups filled with water till the brim, those cricket sessions your dad and ettan had and the girls who made fun of their sports attire, those recording sessions on the first floor, those tteeyy's to startle you, pulling sandys leg and making him feel disgusted, ettan using ur head as his stand,...this could go on and on!!! Sigh !
@ Soneeta :
Could be because I havnt changed my outlook towards people and life? LOL.
@ Arvind :
Yup, do it soon. waiting to see the small you ! Thanks.
@ Apar :
Thanks for doing the tag. I did leave my comments there too. Thanks!
@ Varun :
Thanks. I still have that clean shaven look and unkempt hair, must be because of that or check my reply for soneetas comment ! Get ready with your snaps, Iam sure someone would tag you soon for this!
@ Oxy :
The 10 years is just a minimum criteria, atleast 10 years. After an age, there werent any candid. I started posing for every snap :)
Ok, forgiven u. But do the tag with all the candid snaps available! You cant escape that easily Oxy boy !!
@ Archana :
ROFL. Even I have heard it. They say Horses looked bad while they are small while donkeys looked cute. But its just the reverse when they are grown up.
Thanks for all the appreciation ;)
@ Anita :
At last, you commented; I am sure this post would have made you restless. LOL. Thanks di. Whom do I look like??? c'mon tell me, tell me !!
Btw, am I not cute now?? LOL.
@ Verbivorehere :
LOL. Thanks. Those are candid snaps, I had no idea that I was being clicked. I wouldve surely posed if I knew there was a camera around. LOL. and yeah! photography today is easier, but it was a lot more fun in those days. Once the films are given for printing, we all would be anxious to know how we looked in those snaps, le?
@ Rakesh :
ROFL and couldnt stop too.
V-ambo, guess you are the only person who knows about my obsession with V. and glad my folks took away the gun from me. Guess who would have been my first victim !!! Its you , of course; you tortured me like crazy !!!!
'the age of running-nose' fotos ???Excuso Moi....but i was always as cute as a button.remember those calcutta pics,me with my two pony on either sides of my head...and also the edapal pics,the "naani teri morni" days.I was always very adorable...
I know i got very senti while writing too...OMG yeah poor Sandy...we were a terror those days..lol.Pls dont remind me of the cricket....u were a complete waste wouldnt even move an inch,being a gal i would dive and run behind balls,you wud just stare blankly...a la Johnny Bravo.I think the only reason u played was for the fear of getting kicked by ettan.
BTW "the girls who made fun of their sports attire" what was that???
You always looked that beautiful
;-)
@ Ramya :
You adorable? Whom are you kidding, huh? You looked like Mickey mouse during the Calcutta days!!! and before that, you were a pest, a pain in the wrong place for me.LOL. I still remember you complaining to your dad when i hit you. I hid myself on the first floor of our edappal house. and yeah! I took my revenge years later, " Idu Rubber aanu, Idu Rubber aanu" !!!!
and regarding the cricket sessions we had, I couldnt move becuz I had(still have) brittle bones. Remember, I broke my head!!! I was being cautious, thats all. LOL. and moreover, I used to be on study holidays during your vacation, and so was thinking abt studies during the cricket hours too. LOL.
Dont tell me you dont remember those girls who used to giggle watching Ravimama and ettan in their shorts???
@ Sujith :
Where do you get these names from?
My first time here! Good pictures, brought back memories of my own childhood!
Those indeed were the days!
Cheers
