Fair and Lovely advertisement !

I have been officially certified as a good choice to model for Fair&Lovely, the before picture that is ;) in case you just had a "jaw-dropping" moment. It was based purely on my skin-tone :D not a yellow brown (as per a previous discovery) but a chocolate brown now.
And what brought that about was 2 days of playing in the sun.
The Game : Throwball.
For the uninitiated , throwball is a game that sort of resembles volley ball, 2 courts with a net in between , 7/9 people on either side. A best of 3 sets match which has the teams throwing and catching a ball.
After a looooooooooooong time, I got to play the game.With just 2 rounds of practice, meeting some of the teammates for the first time few minutes before the match. And we still made 3rd place (out of 12) . Takes a bow. :D Have been gloating about that all of today afternoon, let me have my moment of glory!
Its like a whole different world that I had stepped into, like a page from my memory past. Teams in different uniforms, nets and courts with white borders, referees , coaches, cheers from the supporters, heck, even the medicine sprays! Its funny how stuff that you did years ago stays fresh in your memory, just like that faint whiff of perfume or that old song that you haven't heard in ages digs up those memories that you didn't remember existed.
I have this mile wide smile on my face right now. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !
P.S. I am out of Fair and Lovely. So, the chocolate stays.
