Lost in the Black Hole

All my pics from 2005 - 2007. All gone. Just gone forever.

My marriage pics. My pretty saris, my traditional avtar. Of blushing and smiling shyly. Of a surreptitious hand-hold. Of my lovely anklets sitting on the oonjal. 

All gone. 

My honeymoon pics.Of an overrated houseboat. Of holding hands on the Dal Lake. Of my first flower bouquet from the 'husband' at midnight on the Nagina lake. Of giggling in front of the 'Hum tum ek kamre mein band ho' cabin in Gulmarg. Of walking in a skirt and transparent poncho, in front of Hazratbal (and being fully out of place). Of a fantastic meal with the yummiest nadru yakhni at the InterCon Srinagar. Of smiling at the Himalayas. And hugging before leaving for the airport.

All gone. 

My entire US stay pics. Especially the one with cherry blossoms and the fall colors and on Route 1 and in Boston and RI and NH and the Grand Canyon. Of our lovely semi-detached townhome. Of my attempts at cooking in the kitchen. Of our first snowfall together. Of our faithful Volvo. Of the touristy NY and Niagara pics. Of our Bird-in-the-hole trip to Amish County, PA. Of the 'kisses' lamps in Hershey Town. Of the quaint ice-cream shops (esp 'The Bent Spoon' at Princeton town). Of our first Hindi movie at New Brunswick.

All gone. 

Pics on my initial years at Bombay. My first Khala Ghoda. My first eunach friend. My first ram-phal experience. My 'Tendulkar' water bottle at Tendulkars. My first train journey from Dadar to Churchgate.My first German class. My first (and only) driving attempt of a toota-phoota Cielo. My first Bombay rains and its magic. My first 'Naturals' icecream. My first visit to Haji-Ali. My first rose bouquet on V Day from the husband.

All gone. 

All gone.

Now to hope some tech wizard does some magic with the hard disk and gets it back. Until then, memories, don't fade away. Grey cells, stay. Age, don't take away the lovely moments.

ps: Yes. Condolences and Sympathies would be welcome.

  1. Awww that is hard to bear!
    Hang on to those memories. You could also write them down and make those memories something you can revisit once in a while :)

  5. Hi, Came across your blog via the A to Z April Challenge list. Memories is all we have left of the time gone by and photos play such a big part to relive them. Losing the pics is indeed very very depressing...
