Falling hairs to any reason and you end up getting a haircut! Thats exactly what happened a few months ago.. only, the change was so truly nice
Well, nice enough to make me dread the snipping scissors a little bit less.
Did I mention that we go to a ‘chaptii ka beauty parlor’? yeah…so we get to hear the ching and the chong (and strangely, never the Zong!! lolz)
And in between the ping pongs, one of them will come and peer into your face, close.. no , i mean, reaaaaaaaaally close, and pretend to shake her head with the oh-dear-oh-my expression. And the other day she did it with me, again! Its such a horrible expression i tell u, nose wrinkled, mouth twisted.. So i sat up and asked wat happened; and the usual reply was “you need a facial, yes?”. Sigh. So i thought about the money i had saved for buying books and movies, and then looked at the mirror. Facial it was!
Now that should have been enough. But these chaptii’s are chalako-ladies! The other one comes up and says “Why your hair is all dry, you not caring, yes?”. So i said okay, a little pampering can go a long way..
And while i got a facial done, the hair cut progressed clowly, as if it was some kind of a painting being made.. a little snip here and a bit there. Then the hands would disappear, and her peering face would make an appearance, trying to do god knows what!! I was trying to figure that out when the mask got smeared on my face. Now i couldnt see the scissors working their magic on my hair so i was listening intently where the next snip would and making a picture in my mind of what transformation i was going to get.
Suddenly, the snipping snopped and one of my eyes popped open hehehe there was a smack on the back of my head and a warning about getting wrinkles if i move my face muscles with a mask on! Ohkaaaaaay back to closed eyes.
Few minutes later, there i was a glowing skin and a nice hair cut.. perfect! I loved myself in the reflection
Caught my mom eye through the mirror and just at that moment there was yet another SNIP! huhhhhhhhh i took a deep breath because i knew that last snip meant.. i had bangs! oh cripes not again! And there was the face again.. with a huge big grin and the irritating “Bangs, yes?” Oh lord, I had to control myself to shout NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! But couldnt do that, the bangs were already there now
Have nothing to do except oil my hair and hope they grow back before univ opens. Bangs yikes! Next time, i’ll move my head and myself away once i am satisfied with my hairs.

Boy, for me its hardly 15 minutes on the chair and it doesnt matter whether he did exactly as I told him or not. Whats the worst…a little too short hair? It its a little longer then I can ask him to cut as told…
I wanted to write that’s the same for all men…but it no longer is…some guys are really finicky on details about their…hair…and how they look…

what you need is myopia like mine. that way you have no clue about whats going on and only get to know when its done so you can’t really regret anything.
more thrill, less stress.
also, you can yell at the barber when he’s done and have the yaar mujhe nazar aata to us waqt kuch karta/karti excuse when someone ribs you about the end product.
but the best solution is to nut cut it all and enjoy it while it lasts. because as female emancipation finally comes about, so will female pattern baldness and then you and us will really be equal.
