sorry for the horror :P

This happiness is unprecedented. Only a haircut is capable of giving it.
A haircut is an instant escape from your own image and you see yourself in a different light.
My friends were shocked to see how I looked after the creativity of the hair dresser. I just left it to her and she acted as if my skull was her battle ground. We both enjoyed it I guess. She enjoyed the creative freedom and I enjoyed the thought of a new look.
But the reactions of my friends were worth capturing in a glass bottle.
It was the last thing on earth that they expected.
Guys, you might hate it, but ‘I am loving it’.
:P

Damn the hoodlums!

What happened in Mangalore is highly deplorable. Moral policing and hooliganism has become the way politics is done today in our country. Are they the people with confused value system? Perhaps some of them really are but most of them know that this will help further their political motives.
What is virtue? Is drinking alcohol morally wrong? Yes if a school going kid does so, I would call it wrong. If a middle-aged man who has three daughters to marry does so at the expense of his family’s peace of mind and share of happiness, it certainly is wrong.
But if I am an adult and I am not doing any harm to anyone, taking a peg it not morally wrong.
They don’t decide for us what is “morally right” and what is not! And especially for the women! Kindly let us feel free and let us weigh and consider things on our own. Darn! We have our own minds too.
I don’t think a woman who can have a sip of vodka with her male counterparts is any less homely or less virtuous. I know that alcohol above a certain amount is harmful for health and it harms women more than it harms men. Now I am intelligent enough to make my choice and even if I do not make the right choice, it still has to be my choice anyways!

Yes, do tell the kids what is right and what is not. Tell them that drinking can cause harm to the body and it can lead one to lose control over oneself. That makes it bad. But please don’t confuse them telling that having a ‘sip’ makes them non-virgins in the world of “morality”. And why don’t you tell them not to throw their chocolate wrappers and pepsi bottles on the road. Teach them some patience and tolerance for sure.

And for the politicians –
Do you have any speck of shame in you? Seeing what happened to the girls in Mangalore you still have a face to say that it is the pub culture!!
