Girly things and me?

Have you ever been a tomboy? Have you ever thought wearing jewellery and wearing cute girly clothes was nothing of your ‘type’? If yes, welcome to my club!
Long time ago… or may be not so long ago also I was in a similar state. May be even worse. For people thought I was a guy. They didn’t let me enter girls toilets! Time passed… and gradually I changed.
Today I am oiling my long hair and looking at some old school time recordings with school friends. “look, that’s Adya!” they all shout on the top of their voices and giggle. I am embarrassed. I mean, I agree I was a total disaster. I just didn’t fit in a girls convent school of all places. But the worst is yet to come. They are ready to share the reason for their laughter. Did I tell you? My parents are also watching those recordings with us. My friends are fighting amongst themselves on who tells the incident in the funniest way… finally they settle on one chick. She gets up and imitates the way I used to stand then. She tells me that one particular day back in school, when everyone was getting ready to get in the lines for the morning assembly, they all noticed a ‘hot n handsome’ guy standing with his back to them in the school corridor. They were excited. Oh ya, it’s a rare sight to see a guy in a girls school! They all pushed this typically girly girl to check him out and introduced. She checks him out from behind. She is already making guesses on how he looks. He is amazingly tall, with sexiest legs, toned muscles and well tanned skin. She readies herself for the move. Breathes in and taps him on shoulder. She goes, Hey! So what bought to this school? The guy looks back at her in surprise and says, am I not supposed to be here for assembly? Ya.. don’t even try guessing.. it was me in shorts back from basketball practice.. with a perfectly stinky sweaty body.
Imagine my embarrassment when this incident is shared in front of my parents. There’s no need to share their reaction. You’ll can very well imagine it. :P
But in the past few days, every time I go shopping I stumble upon something cute. Yes, its GIRLY and I find it cute. Every time I go shopping I come across a cute pendant or a chain. Yes, I am falling in love with this particular girly accessory (unbelievable?! TOTALLY). Presently, my pocket money doesn’t permit me to splurge on it. But it definitely makes me want to start earning as soon as possible. It even has the cunningness to pop in my dreams every now and then! I cant wait to lay my hands on something that pretty. Most probably that will be the first thing I buy after I get a nice salary J
Oh yes, did I tell you? It has helped make my parents and friends believe that I am a perfectly normal human being with girly cravings.
