Tagged !

Damn! Just when I thought that I could safetly hide my blog, people seem to have started discovering it. I've been tagged by Nayantara.
Here goes:

10 years ago:
- I had one eyebrow that stretched accross the length of my forehead.
- Shifted from life on an island country to the one of the most densely populated cities in the world!
- Started studying in a convent school which insisted on oily plaits,socks that covered your knees and rectangular shaped bags.
- Lived in the Holiday Inn,Mumbai for two and a half months.
- Left some of my closest and dearest childhood friends only to meet some make some lifelong lasting friends.

5 years ago:
- I used to study at least 5 hours after school every day
- - Was elected "head girl of my school"
- Began college life in one of the best institutions in the country
- Told someone I really cared about that I didnt want him in my life anymore
- Went almost bald and had an eyebrow piercing ( dont know how I could have done that now!)

Last one year:
- Loved and hated myself and the world in the timespan of a day !!
- Travelled to more than 20 cities accross the country.
- Appeared for my BA degree as the lone candidate after only a month an a half of study and managed to pass with flying colours :)
- Lost a lot of friends and made some new ones that are closer than family.
- Brought 92 countries to India!
- Fell in love with a handsome man who leaves me in awe that such honesty and simplicity can exist in the same world that I live in.
- Left a lot of institutions that I felt defined me, only to find who I really was.
