Changing hairstyles every few months, I daresay, has now become second nature to me. I have sported numerous looks in the past few years. The crew cut, the spiked-gelled look, the streaked Mohawk, the long-haired-Jesus look a la formerly Mr. Dhoni, the ‘buzz’ inspired by footballing phenom David Beckham. You name it & I’ve probably sported it. What amuses me is the kind of public response I elicit, ranging from wide-eyed 'oohs' & 'aahs' to “You’re-lookin'-cool” sort of comments to open mouthed gaping elders with their faces at most times registering a mixture of shock & incredulity! On such occasions I’ve had to explain to them with a great deal of bemusement that it was the “in” thing – the latest trend. My parents though have accepted this habit of mine with dignity & big heartedness. However, my Mother was not particularly chuffed about my streaked Mohawk – a strict no-no in the future. Most of my hairdos have garnered a ‘positive’ response, or so I would like to believe. However, there have also been experiments that have gone hopelessly awry! But this is the age to experiment, is’nt it?
As I’m nearing the end of this article, I’ve just recalled that my Father had asked (read pleaded) me to get a ‘proper’ haircut for the umpteenth time this morning. So I guess I shall have to sign off “hair”!
