Haircut!

It had been almost 4 months since I had cut my hair :-) This may well be the longest duration I had let them grow. Last time was in undergrad college, but that was 3 months I guess. I love long hair and if you have seen me, mine is not the boy next door hairstyle which mamma can neatly comb every morning before the school bus. In fact, while growing up as a kid I was famous for two things - how thin he is, what kinda hair is that?. Aunties had sometimes in jocular zing crossed the acceptable limits of teasing, calling it a crow's nest.

So, I felt bad when chop, chop went the barber's scissors on my long locks. I dont really know what made me have a haircut, they hadnt grown objectionably or disproportionately. I had acquired that Farhan Akhtar in Rock On type of look. Though his are curls, mine are straight non kinky types. I liked them. They are gone :-(

Interestingly, I have figured if I want the Arjun Rampal hair look it would take one full year to grow that length. Unfortunately, my profession does not permit rockstar hairstyles. That was one reason why I wanted to head to the US after engineering. To grow my hair loooong. Surprisingly, I had found support in this from my mother!

But I shall rest the case now. With my prominent widow's peak (frontal baldness) those shall remain childhood 'What I want to do when I grow up' memories. Now, bald is in. Havent you seen the Bald and the Beautiful?

dood..I really enjoyed this post...you know why...I grew up hearing the exact same two lines...how thin he is or the some would go like..are you not eating properly..and I some times replied..ya right! am on diet. And the next one was on my hair. Who came up with this concept that men cant have long hair...

bald is one way to go, but I would be interested in seeing you sport the arjun rampal look - i think some ppl can carry that off well, i have a feeling u can - u shudn't have gotten tht haircut!!!

I somehow dont like long hair on men. Prefer the old fashioned clean look :)

:DDDDDD Why am I thinking of the title "The Rape of the lock" for the post??!!!!

I loved and loved and loved Agassi when he sported those long locks, and behaved like a bad (read acceptably bad) boy on court.....then he went and shaved his head, got an image makeover and cried every time Steffi would come to court.......i think i lost a li'l respect for him over time......

I could not take my eyes off Arjun Rampal in Rock On specially in that climax song........

but I do like the bald look too....Arka donned it for some time and then Bruce Willis has always been a fav.

PS: what do you think about bald women....I think Natalie Portman looked as great as ever even with a shaven head, don't you think so?? Not to mention, Demi moore and our own Lisa ray, Shabana azmi and nandita das?????
