I’m sure you know how the whole week passes by with not a
moment to spare for yourself? At least for me it’s work – work – work with no
time for the hair I’m trying to grow once again. I’m aiming for shoulder length
but let’s see till when I can manage to hang on to them with this hectic
schedule and the inherent heat that has seeped into the atmosphere here in
Ahmedabad.
I cannot fathom how women with long hair manage to take care
of that mop but I put it down to years of practice and struggle with the mass
of black snakes the Gods thought fit to put on various parts of the body. Well,
I’m pretty new to the experience since this is only the second time that I've
tried to grow my hair, the first being when I completed school and moved on to
college. I was in the place which you’d probably call a ‘hair phase’. Wanted to
be the cool dude with the hair but ended up chopping the locks within just four
months partly due to frustration, partly due to the heat and partly due to the
fact that my parents were horrified at what I’d done to my hair and refused to
acknowledge me as their son in public. Yeah, that bad.
Well, this time I've managed to cross the four-month barrier
and it’s looking pretty good so far. The heat has abated and I do not plan to
have my hair chopped down due to any pressure this time, parental or otherwise.
But then there is another problem of finding time to groom this hair. I admit
that even this time around I've had a pretty hard time managing all this volume
upon my head and I've considered more than once about walking the path to the
barber’s shop but I've maintained my resolve till now only because of the compliments
I keep receiving now and then from friends and that’s what keeps me going.
Let’s see how long it lasts…
Note: I've not put up a photograph of myself in the fear
that somebody will break my illusion of this hair looking totally awesome.
