I must say that Ogden Nash got it all wrong; there is no more a vicious circle than a saloon appointment. One can easily freeze in pure terror as the barber snicks the lips of his scissors uprooting all the near & dear ones with disdain.
Specifically in my case; since i come from a genetically challenged family of high-foreheads - Both my grand-dads were mirror images of Agassi by the age of 35; get-together would have my darling aunties warning "Get married before you lose your asset"; the week-end pastime of nephews is to count the remaining strands on their dad receding plates and Dr.Batras is actually our family doctor.
Even if you continue hoping without hope; you still cannot avoid the inevitable journey that happens every periodic interval to perform last rites at the Spa nearby.
But the real irony is the fact that though everyone of us spend so many $$ and effort taking good care of our Hair we actually do not do the same for our own self !!!
Just like Hair; many of us have Habits or practices which have grown well beyond their limits and in fact cover us entirely to the effect that our identities have become defined by these Habits or have made us slaves to the daily routine.
It's time to wake up and start planning for that Hair -Cut or metaphorically speaking for that Change of Habit. More about the same in the next blog...
