My Hairstyle...
I have had a lot of problems in the recent past with my hairstyle. Not only hairstyle, but also my facial hair... I have a hairline that is 3 inches above average...That means a lot more of face to wash, not that I wash it, but just for your information. My visits to the saloon are synchronized with the blooming of the Kurinji flower- Once every twelve years. Last time I visited the barber's shop, he had to use gardening shears, lawn mowers and discovered one-thousand exotic species of arthropods.
My next problem always occurs with my facial hair. The hair in my face grows at an astounding rate of three inches per day. I am the most comfortable having it chest-long, but as I study in the local military academy for people from the asylum, I am forced to shave twice a day with a Gillette Mach 6, having titanium coated, steel re-inforced aluminium-nickel alloy blades. Whenever I grow my beard, people mistake me for a man of 30!!!
I however do not look unique. I am identified with many popular personalities of all time due to my beard. They include Saddam Hussein, Usama Bin Laden, Rasputin, Ernest Hemmingway, and the friend of a guy in final year mechanical.
Talking about the friend of a guy in final year mech, the final year guy mistook me for a friend of his, and called out for me in the packed lunch hall. I had no time to speak with him as I fast had to find a place to sit and eat, the weight of the food in my plate becoming unbearable (I usually eat enough for three people!). So, I ignored him, and proceeded to find the place my best friend Sundar, the great, had saved for me. The guy took it seriously, and came running over and tried to punch me. I immediately went under the table, in an act of self defence...which people wrongly call cowardice. Sundar rose to the occassion and deftly diffused the situation with his masterly negotiation skills.
In these ways, I have problems with my hair. Now that I have a girlfriend too, maintaining my hair is becoming more of a problem, as she expects me to maintain unheard-of levels of hygiene. I want to desperately tell her to go stuff it, but love seems to blind my eye.
Good bye.
I end this post in a different vein than when I started.
