Hair and Their

What is the worst comment you could have ever received!! Think,.think, what..... you can't remember, SURPRISING. I believe the source of such negative comments should be flayed alive. Please listen to this before you form an opinion about me. A close colleague of mine today whilst we were in the middle of an interesting conversation pops out the most horrifying statement my ears would ever be subjected to. She said,"What is it with your hair style. It seems to resemble Sanjay Dutt so closely these days." I snapped an instant SHUT UP, and carried on the conversation like nothing had happened. But the comment infuriated me the entire day. So what if she were a good friend, so what if I had given her the liberty to pick up on me, so what if I have made some nasty remarks on her clothes choice in the past, truth always hurts. And this time it stuck like a poisoned arrow straight on my left.

The ever so conscious woman I am, I lost no time in rushing to the parlour for a hair session. I chose the best parlour in town to get my hair done. My seething soul could be comforted by nothing less than a compliment from the same source on the same subject. 

I enter the parlour and ask for the an expert in short hair. I judge the expertise of my stylist by the hair he/she keeps. This guy (I would call him BARBER hereon, you will know the reason soon) had hair the shape of a hive. They were such a curly mass as if it were handpicked and dumped on his head to rust forever there.  I chided myself for being judgemental. However the moment he rolled the scissor in my hair, I knew today and atleast a month straight I will have bad hair days. What came out was nothing Halle berry or Gul panag but if it has to be a star..........it was Salman khan of tere naam. Very confidently the barber asks me," Do you want me to dry your hair." Equally confident I shoot back, " Niether am I shooting for a shower scene, nor is your salon short of dryers." I am sure he got the sting cause he revenged it on my already ruined hair.

By the time I reversed my car I had tears in my eyes and had checked my hair in the rear view mirror a number close to the oldest person on earth. My ears were ringing with the sequel of the day's comment. I heard somewhere Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan are close friends.

For the barber, I wish the salon would stop picking their so called stylists from under the old favorite Banyan Tree.

I am still furious.
