Friends, there was a time somewhere in the recent winter breaks, when I decided to have a hair cut. This was when I was in Kolhapur and my hair was growing long. So there I am sitting in the barbers shop. He was just putting the cloth around me and getting his scissors ready for the job. Then he asked me -" Kashe kaapayache aahet? " which translates- " Kaise kaatne hai?" or " How do you want me to cut them".
Now any sane person in his senses would have told him the approximate length to which he would have wanted the hair cut. Like " Bahut chota karo" ( small), " Medium" or" Bas trimming karo" ( Long with trimmed hair). But something else was going on in my mind. Now I have not been able to, so far, explain why the chemicals in my brain decided to react in that particular way, but I suddenly told the barber- " Sab nikal do" i.e, "Make me bald".
The barber, obviously taken aback, first tried to explain to me what "bald" meant. He said- " Saab, saare baal hat jaayenge".. i.e, "All you hair will be gone". Despite of this warning, my brain ( which was still in a parallel crazy world), failed to analyze the situation and i said-" Pata hai. Wohi karo" i.e " I know what I am saying.. Just do it".
So there I was after some 4-5 mins of the machine shaving off all my hair... I was BALD.
