Very bad hair day

It was that time of the year again. Yup. I had to get my hair cut. Now I’ve always had a thing about hair cuts, I didn’t like them, mainly because they shortened my hair, and this, is something I’m not too fond of. I’m not really into getting the hair thing exactly right andam generally on neutral terms with my hair, but this time I walk into this new and rather swanky salon I discover. I walk in and ask for the usual, but this barber seemed rather adventurous and suggested I’d try something. He claimed he had lots of past experience in bombay and the likes and suggested getting my hair ahem…spiked. I thought of the typical gel based punk rock look which I did use once in a while but he said no…

He’d cut the hair everywhere super short and leave the front part rather long and it’d look good. I thought to myself that I really should be trying something a little more adventurous. I’ve been using the same hairdo for the past eighteen years. So I gave him the go ahead, sat down and closed my eyes as i always do.

I just innocently pondered about most efficient ways of mass extermination of puppies and tried not to think about this guy separating me from my precious keratin. And in the middle I heard the guy utter the most dangerous word “OOPS. What the sodding hell does he mean “OOPS?”, I mean if a surgeon said “oops” or something like that I’d understand. Apparently he doesen’t want to cut it any shorter and the look he prescribed would really not suit me. So, that explained the “oops” but the fact remains I am left with exceptionally short hair.

I got back with a twisted scowl on my face and my little sister almost laughed at me, it’s not that funny, but then again, what is? I went out looking for big baseball caps and other headgear and hope my hair grows back within a couple of weeks. Otherwise I’m very depressed right now.

More on my little vacation along with birdwatching pics later. Also tommorow I might upload my wordpress theme’s proof of concept. ie. a simple html file to prove my concept works.
