This picture is circa 1988 when I celebrated my 2nd Birthday. In this picture my complete focus was the cake ( pretty normal for kid of two years I guess) but I was little too excited, in all the pictures before I actually cut the cake all my attention was at the cake. What a glutton I was !( I still am!! one)
Another thing that I have noticed about my childhood photographs is , my complete oblivion to the presence of a camera. My mother had a tough time to get me to look at the camera.This is completely contrasting to the person I am now because, I love posing in front of the camera and very conscious of my pictures I don't like being caught candid. My friends and family think I am a narcissist. I think in most cases people calm down as they grow up ,but in my case it was a complete reversal I became more restless as I grew up. I think another change would be that as a kid if I was not in a right mood it was pretty clear, but now even if sometimes I am upset or in bad mood I don't bring it to the exterior I always cover it up with my (pepsodent) smile.
Two things that I forgot to mention, one is, my habit of sticking my tongue out has stayed and the other, most important I hate pink now; in the picture the dress is all pinky I was at mom's mercy for colour choices then... (uggggh pink!!)

Now isn't that interesting, that while you "love posing in front of the camera" you also have become very conscious and "don't like being caught candid". So what do you think is happening now? Why the need to "cover it up" what's going on inside? and more importantly, what are we hiding? But good! - Ajay
