Aman's graduation day snaps

My last visit to Kerala happened to co-incide with the year-end photo session at his school. While the school had arranged a professional camera-man to cover the event, I dropped in with my camera to have a personal copy of this major event in Aman's life, about which he was excited days before it was to happen. In hindsight, this turned out to be a good decision, because looks like Sheena did not like the print from the photographer. Anyway here goes.

All the kids of Kids Garden school with their 3 teachers, 2 of whom are related to me on my Dad's side. Aman is seated in the front-row at extreme right. Should have used the flash (though it was bright day-light) because it is kinda dark at where Aman is sitting.



A close-up of the area near where Aman is seated. We asked him why he is keeping such a grim face and his response was interesting, "We were told by the teachers to smile without opening our mouths and that is what I was doing". :-)


The kids in uniform are those that are studying L.K.G and U.K.G., while Aman and the other kids sans uniform are those in play-school. Some of the uniformed kids were having their individual snaps taken and I thought Aman would be interested in having one taken himself. But the way he has his face in this snap, looks like he did not really relish Daddy coming in & singling him out, causing 'embarassment' within his group of friends.


BTW, credit for attire goes to Sheena - who bought this dress specifically for Aman's school photo-session.
