>> Hair it!
Published February 14, 2006 by Half Moon Fletcher | E-mail this post
God has blessed my hair with an overwhelming sense of growth. They see potential in every inch of skin with certain pores to pout into. Not only that, it’s not only growth, its reproduction too. Everyday (or the days when I manage my hair), half of the growth sheds off like leaves from a tree in autumn (severe?).
I wonder where these traits came from. Is it because my father and his, his father and my great-great grandfather and his, have all had abundance in this segment of the body?
Have the genes of the male line of our family been altered to facilitate such hair growth and make us all hounded bears?
And the worst part is, I cannot cut my hair. Why so?
My mother says, “You have been born into a Sikh family. You must respect tradition.”
“Then why, may I ask, have you cut your hair?”
“I spent my days in my parent’s house in the fashion they wanted me to be in. I have outgrown that phase and now have the right to live this way.”
After many heated discussions, she agrees upon a work – to - win condition.
“Clear the IIT – JEE exam and get your hair cut. Anything before that-turn around, bend, I’ll kick your behind and get out of my house”
And here, all matters end.
Is keeping hair, such a bad idea? After all, we are a secular country. Why should one not be what he is?
Not that I have faced any discrimination or anything (except for 2-3 cases. One at the swimming pool, another at Mc Donald’s and even sometimes while just walking on the road)
But I have seen people so orthodox about this whole matter, that I am repelled by the whole package.
To those who are orthodox, I would deliberately go up to, in an ‘unacceptable manner’, and fight for what I believe,
There is an old Sardar uncle on the very next road, who stares up at me like anything when I go in front of him, with my hair untied. And this I do, most willingly, deliberately and HAPPILY.
Many know already, that I love to roam around the entire city, with my hair untied, enjoying people looking at me once, then turning their necks again, noticing my beard (again, a neck-turn), and noticing me in the whole.
Where does it begin from, and where does it end?
Phew!!!
Those who read and don’t post a comment S**K.
hey jyot, seems like you've let your heart out. good job on that one. but i'd like to know what kind of discrimination you faced at the swimmming pool.
jyot, i agree with rohil. whoever and watever u r , u r the JYOT and actually sometimes its good to have bugging ppl around (jst jokin). anyway nice one.
hey guys
visiting the blog for the first time &i kinda liked it.
anyways foaly it seems u have one more reason to clear the IIT(no offence).nice work.

about the swimming pool thing.
well it wasn't much of a discrimination thing, it was more of a female rejection (poor us).
*Addition of more details will be humiliating for me and to those who read it. I still want to face you people comfortably. So dont bother about this anymore.
hey foaly
u really really wanted me to write a comment ever since u started blogging n published ur first write up,but I didnt due to ...
well even I dont know y ,so leave.
Now I will write my comments coz I am not very xpressive in a face to face confrontation(specially wid u)
so I truly madly deeply believe in wat say but then family matters also hold some impportance n dats exactly wats holding u back otherwise u could very well go 1 day to a saloon (wid saksh)n get ur hair cropped off,but I know u wont do it abhi.I geniunely understand ur problem n how u felt when recently even I had a haircut but chalta hai yaar.I know 1 day ur so called 'judi' will not b there n dats gonna happen soon.
N regarding roaming abt d streets of delhi wid u wid ur hair untied ,earlier as in when u were unbearded ,it was ok coz ppl thought dat they r 2 sisters ,1 wid slightly odd features but still u know ..it was ok
but a few years back when I was roaming abt wid bearded jyot wid untied hair in dc (district centre),dat was really odd, almost every1 liked at us twice n I dont know wat were thet thinking abt me.....
well neways its getting far too long so dats it.

oye jessica
if face to face communication is not possible (how true!!!), then you can very well write it out here, fine.
But
1)Post a single comment only once.
2)Dont ever bring personal things up here. It might become humiliating for me.
3)I dont know what were you doing while typing this coz i noticed quite many mistakes. Looked - liked (among others)
4)Getting hair cropped off is a well... too harsh a term\word.
5)I hate the usage of shorthand language. I feel the spoken\written language of an entire e-generation will get spoilt.
6)That day at District Center, I was looking better than you (even with my beard and untied hair) so you better control that slipping tounge (and typing fingers)
Thanx you commented on something of my creation finally. I guess, typed words speak louder than spoken words in your case(and in mine).
tongue not tounge Mister Type-it-right.
