I rarely approve of any of my passport photographs. I usually look grim, or most unhappy, and I normally cringe when I look at them. On my recent visit to my Chacha's home, however, I found a copy of my very first passport photograph, taken when I was not yet two years old, which I am delighted to share with my readers. I had to be bribed with a five rupee note, which I am holding on to quite firmly, to have this photograph taken. Yes, I know I'm looking grim!

That is cute. Also, I guess, not having the in-the-face close up which passport photographs now have to be, helps.
@anonymous: Thanks!
@Aneela Z: Aneela, I am learning many strange and wondrous things about passports and their photographs. Perhaps another post.....
@Banno: Thanks. Also the fact that this is from over fifty years ago- I love the dress, and the solemn expression. One solemn child, that's what I was:)
The holding onto the five rupees- priceless!
Thans for posting this dipali
@Sur Notes: I was remembering this photograph for some weeks before my trip to Chacha's place. I think it knew it belonged on the blog:)

You were heavily bribed- five whole rupees! and look at the size of that note!
