Wow, how tough was this theme for me! This is for Day 8 of the Marathon Bloggers challenge, where we are having one post a week based on a theme. The first week's theme is "Blast from the Past!" and my first instinct was to write about something to do with the kids. But then, that is the kind of stuff I have always been writing about on this blog, so I kept looking around in the hope of finding something different :).
And at last after some "inspiration" from the direction of other posts in the group, I realized that for me, this term would have to link back to college days! The days when cameras used film rolls, and we used to have a Photography department who were the only ones who usually took photos on campus during special occasions. This was in the mid 90's and I'm sure the situation is quite different now, with most kids owning phones and digicams themselves, but oh the charm of those days :)!
This was a photo taken with a friend of mine, whom I have completely lost touch with. She got married soon after we graduated, and I had even attended her wedding at Tirupati. But soon afterwards, and before the age of social media, we drifted apart. And now even with FB around, I as well as others have been unable to "find" her! Which is very mysterious in this connected age!

So this one's for you Harini, known to all of us as Honey. You are on our mind, I hope we get back in touch!
