## Caption

A precious & rare archival find, to receive this pic of our maternal family at a friend's wedding reception-- somewhere circa 1975?. 
.

At the far left, my mother, few years before her wedding, looking every bit like some yesteryears actress with her fashionista sense & piercing looks 😀! My maternal grandfather at the far right, in a crisp suit, tie & a 🌹 buttoned up; grandma beside refusing to smile as was her nature in any photograph, and my two mausis next to her! 
.

They say an old photo can hold an entire era in a single frame, when ordinary moments become history. But they do really feel less like images & more like inherited memories!
