What's in a hair cut.....?

That's what I thought as I stepped into the parlour last evening.

I was asked to wait, so I enquired the rates and settled down on the couch with a hair stylist's catalogue.....I was determined to get a different look.

I flipped through the pages,and everytime a hairstyle impressed me, I imagined myself with it.Finally,I zeroed in on the U cut - a fairly simple cut and hence not heavy on my pocket.

A woman had just got up, making a seat free.I walked over to the hair stylist, "A U-cut",I said and handed over the catalogue to her.She gave me a 'that's it!' look, as I walked past her and settled on the chair.

She skillfully drove her scissors through my hair and in a couple of minutes it was all done. My hair was cut just above my shoulder and I was quite happy with the way I looked. I gave her an approving smile,paid at the counter and left for home.

I wasn't sure how my homecoming would be..and as I rang the bell I tried to imagine the worst that could happen.My sis opened the door and she cried "You cut yor hair!You look like a kid!" . Now that was offending- a kid calling me a kid..grrrrr

It was my mom's turn.I was greeted with shock on her face, that gradually turned into a glare."How foolish have you been!", she remarked.

Two down.

I was upset but I protested, "What's wrong with short hair when it makes me look good?"
Dinner went off quietly and as I slept I was wondering how my colleagues would react the next day.

As I walked into office today, I was greeted with surprised faces."Hey what have you done?"
remarked somebody, "Well, its called a hair cut" , I said trying to stay calm.

Someone else suggested that it would look better if tied, while a couple of others said I looked like Indira/Sonia gandhi...whatever that was supposed to mean..

The comments are still coming in!

I would rather say, "WHAT'S NOT in a hair cut !!" .
