The other day I was in the bus waiting on a signal. An unintentional glance on a stranger brought some beautiful memories back to me.
This guy was a typical “poor- living on the street guy” - wearing an old, faded "Pink Floyd" t-shirt. The t-shirt took me back to my school days, to a time where I too had some very "special" t-shirts. I was never a Pink Floyd fan (though I am one now!) but I loved the Backstreet Boys. My biggest heart throb was Leonardo DiCaprio. (For the record I still like him, and for my friends who don’t like BSB – its my choice :))
I was so crazy about both Leo and BSB that at that point in time all most all my e-mail passwords were their first names! Come on I was this shy girl who had a major crush on these chocolate boys - well I am not too ashamed to admit it!
I remember I had this creamish BSB t-shirt and a black white Titanic t-shirt with Leo and Kates' picture on it. I used to treasure these t-shirts and never let anyone wear it. I don’t think I have shared it even with any of my sisters. I remember having spent around 100 Rs to buy the Titanic t-shirt and Rashmi gifted the BSB one. Unless you did some really special favors there is no way I would let anyone wear it. Not to forget I would take it everywhere possible.
Similarly I had this Leo poster that I treasured. Mum never let us cello-tape anything on the walls. So finally I convinced her to let me tape it against the backside of my room’s door. Till date the biggest mystery is, how did my mamma get rid of it :(.
Well all I can say is I miss my lovely t-shirts and the awesome poster! I am just glad that even though for a short time I went back to some fun filled memories thanks to some random guy in a faded “Pink Floyd” t-shirt!

ReplyDeletethis reminds me of this cute plump girl who must have been in her late teens or early twenties at the railway station surrounded by all her relatives who had come to see her off. She had a bright orange colour t-shirt on which said "blow job is better than no job"... I am dead sure that poor girl nor her relatives had any idea what it meant.... well its always better to make sure you know what it means before you wear them :)
