An outgrown schoolgirl...at long last

The long awaited day arrived. With what a start!!!

MI groggy self gets up at 8 am, quickly does all her mornin jobs, and settles for a nice long mornig in front of the newspaper , with her breakfast.

MI parents sit nearby, chatting and plannin today's timetable, and how to effectively get me ready, wihth the minimum usage of time , space and most importantly , money.
(Here, money is of utmost importance. U wud kno, if ur a girl, if u dont, i spose u will get to kno wen u become one).

ya....nd as per the plan, me and mi mom go off to cosmos, the family mall nearby around lunchtime, to avoid the crowd.

The hairdresser i think, was a lunatic. He not only destroyed mi hopes of finally getting a suitable hairstyle, he also ruined my hopes of getting back mi proper hair!!!

I felt so disgusted, mi mom laughing her head off at the sight of me!!!...( for two seconds...till she saw the look on mi face). The hair dint look bad. It was straight, sleek shiny, and short, cut just right for a party.
The problem was it did not suit me at all.

We returned home, to realise that we had just 30 minutes left, in whic me mi mom nd dad had to get ready and leave to school!!!..What a blow!!!

Im rushing ina state between frenzy and panic. Iv never bin in dat state before.

ANd mi mother, gently brings out the lady in me. Looking at miself in the mirror, I really felt so different.HOnestly, like a woman. A real woman. NBot the uniformed schoolgirl.A real woman. Id never felt this way before.

Sans makeup, i looked good. With a tinge of lipgloss, hair loose, and accesories, we set out, trying to reach skool within 10 minutes, via one of the places i hate travellin through.
marathahall...adn its damn bridge.clusered with people vehicles, and rubbish. It can take u from 2 minutes to 3 hours to pass through what is called a "village".

So there i was in school. All happy, excited, and awaiting the night that would officially mean that our teachers brush us off their hands!!

The final photo shoot is over , With our grad hats falling, no1 feels the same.Not only that, wearing high heels, and climbing chairs ( i mean it, CHAIRS!!!) for the foto, mi feet will never be the same!!!!Poise.....a very imprtant thing.

Half past six

AS all of mi friends come, lookin absolutely gorgeous in their own ways, it was so obvious, how we had changed. Zokra looked so cute!!...ND ever fretting nishi!!! nd everyone else.
As our head lady sd - the girls look terribly stunning, and the guys???terribly eligible!!!

AS we walk towards the stage, afraid of our hats falling, tripping over our sarees, walkin properly, we finally make it through to the stage, amistst smattering applause.

I was so glad to be finally able to sit!!!

When being called on to recieve our momentos, i was praying i wudnt get mi cheeks all pink....but thats exactli wat happend.!!!! a bright pink cheeked zula walked on to get it , when her aspirations were read out to the audience. Being on stage is wonderful. truly

5 speeches later, we sang our school song. It sounded so perfect, not missing one tone, beat or word,one day we sang the original song. JUst for the importance of the evening.

After our oath, we move on to the best part,which was dinner,for the socialising ,laughing, and for a more informal,phototakin, gala time.

We went chatterin abt. takin cute pics with evri1 we knu...I GOT THE FOTO OF TUKI ND ME >>>CUCRBITUS ND ME!!!!! EVN ME ND V!!!ND PUR!!!! whoooopeee!!!! i nearli jumpd wen he sd....hey, comin for a pic???...EVN S ND ME!!!! one tight hug was all i got, but it was more than enogh!!!!i felt so warm !!....and light...evn tho im overwight!!!

All the hugs nd tears later, we decidd to make a move

One night, i felt like a darling. like an angel. like a woman. a true woman.
Im sure all of my friends felt the same way. Zokra, was already high( not drunk!!!)...im sure she felt so blissfully happy!!!

A terribly delightful evening, i must say!!!
