Bald you go!



It is said the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. What about the hand that glides over bald head, it rules underworld. Shakaal, No?

क्या कहते हो ?*Shakaal accent*
Such is the fear of a bald man that you almost define them as bad-ass characters. So I was thinking about Kancha and other bald villains, if I go bald would I be that bad-ass." No, you'd be ugly”, my brother said while looking on the screen when I was typing. 

Now these thoughts aren't normal, these occur to you when you feel you are going bald. And I tell you it strikes fear in hearts of men that their beloved hair are gone. First reactions when a bald patch appears on the cranium cover are met with quite cold demeanour. But when it expands like Alexander the Great is conquering the world, gravity of the situation increases. This phase-1 forks out into either acceptance of "I'm going bald" or desperately saving the precious. (Remember Gollum from LOTR)

My precious *sob*

Reactions from household now are directly proportional to the volume of hair fall. Your mom is the most concerned of the lot. No she's not concerned about your hair, hell NO! She's just thinking about the marriage proposals you are going to get. She tries to convince you that a bald man would not get a good wife that is pure emotional blackmail to coax you into doing what not. She would go Hiroshima-Nagasaki on you if her advices to do medications or apply hair oil are met with denial or hysterical laughs. 

If it’s your Dad then you can’t imagine the friendly banter which comes to your way. Most of the times he would give you a cold stare and the smile slyly. Then you would go into flashback thinking about the hairstyles you did going against your father acceptance. “Karma is a bitch", you say to yourself. When you say, “I want to shave my head", the friendly Dad vanishes with him barking out that he's still alive. Brothers especially younger ones make the most of this banter. When your friends start making notice of it, you start yapping about how cool it to be bald is. But deep inside your heart wish, “Die my friend, die! May you be blessed with this curse". 


Interestingly, bookmarks in your browsers has increase in websites related to "How to cure baldness", "Hair fall consultants" and stuff related to it. If that is not enough even Dr. Batra's sms count increases in inbox .Every bald person you meet, you observe his clean shaved head calculating the efforts and money in maintaining that shiny egg. Good Lord it must be a more enduring task than growing hair. 

Kids in your locality start calling you uncle as if it’s been long since you have played with them. There's another addition to the line of successors for the throne of the 60 year old Joshi Kaka on the second floor, some might be waiting to uncover their wigs err. . . secrets.

All this goes in the head until acceptance of going bald happens when you visit this website to give a sigh of relief. Then you look into the mirror and Oh. Wait!
The vicious circle follows until it eats up all your hair. Ending this post I would like to quote, "Hair for a hair makes the world bald".

 Famous bald guys: Stone Cold Steve Austin (WWE Wrestler), Jason Statham, Vin Diesel, Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo (old Brazilian, not the new one), Emile Heskey
