The Haircut…

Back to my blog and its currently 01.54am right now. Just when I was thinking of going to sleep and thought of updating something on my blog later, I remembered the famous words from Kabirdas

Kal kare so Aaj kar, Aaj kare so Ab!

Pal mein pralay aayegi, to bahuri karoge kab??

And finally, I have landed my self back in front of my computer screen. (Actually, nothing like that, it is just that I thought of updating my blog recently and I observed that I keep on postponing it and then the topic is stale to put it up!!)

So rather, the Kabirdas’ saying turns into

Aaj kare so Kal kar, Kal kare so Parso!

Itni bhi kya jaldi hai, Jeena hai jab Barso!

Anyways, I’ll start my topic for which I am here before I forget. So, for the past few months, I had got a new fad and thought of growing my hair long. Actually, from my school life till now, I was sort of a guy with decent short hair and never did I care about growing my hair. This time I thought about giving it a try and doing something wierd with my hairstyle. And I finally did.

Thus I started with my long-hair programme simply by not getting a haircut for a long time and then as usual, my hair not being very soft or silky or straight, got messy and tangled. Then one more experiment to do with my hair, I straightened it in some saloon in Mumbai during my vacation and it was somewhat managable again.

Back to college, after vacations, everyone found something different with me and got various comments for my new style. The hair kept on growing and I didn’t have a thought of shortening it yet.

After few days, due to the wonderful oven where I stay in called Chennai, where it didn’t care to rain yet (except on the day when we were to have our Freshers’ Day function and the rain delayed it and on another day when I planned to go to the beach with a friend and we got drenched there), it was starting to get irritating now. But still, thanks to the working condition of the air-conditioners in my college, I didn’t care about that too.

Now the hair is pretty long and first it used to come into my eyes, now it started getting into my mouth! The haircare(nothing special that I did for it, but still..) took me longer to get ready every morning and by evening my hair was looking wierder than before!

Actually no one here in Chennai cared for my haircut as they know me for a less amount of time than my school friends do. So to add to that, one of my very best friend from my school days had started cursing me the day she saw my hair was longer than usual. Every time I got into some conversation with her, I would get a “abe tu pehle apne baal kata…bahut ganda lag raha hai” dialogue from her! And never did I think of listening to her though!

Anyways, finally one day (thats just yesterday!), I thought that I can’t manage this stuff any more and I am going for a haircut finally! So, as this was my 2nd attempt to try out a saloon in Chennai, and considering that my first attempt was a disaster which ended up in me looking wierder than before a year back, I thought the best bait would be some costly-looking types saloon where I hoped that I could make them understand better that I want a decent look and not  wierd one! Thus I ended up in a very costly-type saloon and had a costly haircut and yeah this time I am not looking wierd(or rather wierder! ).

Hence, this is how finally “mere 5-6 mahine ki mehnat” was chopped of in a matter of minutes and I was left with a “halka halka” feeling on my head!

Moral Of the Story:

I bow down to those ladies who maintain their long hair (and yeah most of you do look gorgeous with it )

So this stint with my hairstyling made me realise “Saala baal badhane ke liye bhi kya kya papad belne padte hai!!”
