Geek to Chic.

I went to a school, a school with boys, strict rules and a lot of girls with poise.                          Coming from an orthodox South Indian family and going to a school full of swagger,                  I was stuck with peer pressure which took me years to measure.

Keeping myself unfed, heating my curls to bed, got me nothing but ulcers, acnes and major damages in the end.                                        From loose dad T-shirts to shorts and mini skirts as that was the time where less was more and when orange was not the new black. That time was when my transformation was welcomed like Mia’s from The Princess Diaries.

But being deluded with external beauty like any other teen helped.                                  Insecurities shattered, confidence inflated and my friends circle swelled. And in no time, I had to face reality.                                                            A design college, fashion design to be definite, was the reality I enjoyed.                                                                                                                            - Haritha Godela
