Why I hate 'top' stylists!

Okay, so le me wanted to get a quick haircut and rushed to Tony and Guy! The receptionist welcomed me with her usual fake smile. I told her I needed a quick hair cut and she guided me to the top (?) stylist and this is what happened :
Stylist: Hi!
Le me : Hi, I just want a quick haircut.
Stylist : Okay, mmm.. Which cut you'd like to have?
Le me : Short layer
Stylist : (analyzing my hair) No no no... Short hairstyle won't suit you!
Le me : ??? Wh..aa..tt! I'm sorry I've lived with a boy cut for 16 years!
Stylist : (pulls, twists, stares at my hair for five minutes) No, your hair is thick...
Le me : So..?
Stylist : You can go in for some hair softening treatment..
Le me : I'm really not into all that. All I need right now is a haircut.
Stylist : But short hairstyle won't suit you!
Le me : Okay, so can you suggest something for me?
Stylist : Err, no... I cannot suggest that... (Still analyzing my hair) You have hair-fall...
Le me : Yep, I just had a shower... so...
Stylist : Which shampoo and conditioner are you using?
Le me : L'oreal
Stylist : You can take some treatment for hair-fall. We offer...
Le me : (Irritatedly) Boss, I know about all the treatments you guys have but right now I'd like to have a haircut alone.
Stylist : No, why I'm saying is because your hair will reduce in volume..
Le me : Ji, I've been living with this hair for 25 years now. I have never gone in for any treatments and I'm totally contented with what I have.
Stylist : Okay, your wish.
Le me : Thanks! Would you please....
Stylist : Yeah sure (guiding me to the wash area)
Le me : Bbuutt.. But.. why?
Stylist : I want to wash your hair.
Le me : But I just had a shower!
Stylist : Your hair is dry... so...
Le me : You can still wet it!
Stylist : No no, I don't prefer that.
Le me : (picking my bag) I'm sorry I got no time for that! Thanks a ton!
Stylist : Drop in sometime!
Le me : *Left five minutes back* tongue emoticon

Should have been born a guy! You can walk into any nameless saloon and get the shortest haircut possible for 100 bucks flat (or even less than that) and still get that "Saar! Apadiye Ajith madiri irukeenga saar!" compliment!
Girls, what a curse!

Childhood - Something we MUST give our children!

A recently witnessed event... I was at a coffee shop and this couple in their early thirties walk in with their kid, probably not more than five years old. The proud dad (or who rather seemed proud) was clicking pictures of his daughter right from the time they walked in. I was at first very happy to see the dad capturing the beautiful moments with his daughter. But as time passed, I realized he was rather commanding her to pose. And after he was done, it was now the mom's turn. She instructed the kid to play pillow-fight with her dad with those tiny cushion pillows and the kid too followed what the mom said while she clicked pictures. After all the pictures turned out the way they wanted, they told their girl to stop the play. The poor girl too had to listen to it all.

Stealing someone's childhood should be the worst crime!

A part of me almost died as I imagined the kid playing with her dad spontaneously as she laughed and laughed until she got tired of laughing... as she ran across the lawn, jumping around chasing butterflies.. as she played in the small children's area to her heart's consent, hiding behind her dad and playing peek-a-boo.. as she tried to make funny faces while her mom clicked a picture.. as she was just there, being herself, doing what she wanted and enjoying her day out with her parents...!

This kept me thinking of where relationships nowadays are heading. Are we just going to be the we're-the-happiest-family on social networks but don't know the real meaning of an 'happy family'?! Are we just going to kill a person's individuality? Are we going to work hard day and night in making the world jealous of us and derive pleasure out of it?! Are we going to fake it all throughout our lives? I mean.. our WHOLE life???

Many at times, a happy fulfilling life needn't necessarily have all its precious moments captured in a frame but it's all there inside, undisturbed by the sound of the heartbeat. 

Live life for yourselves people! Do what makes YOU happy, live the moment! You'll needn't do things just to fit into this so-called-being-happy-rules this world has put in front of you. This life is yours, not theirs! icon

Here's introducing my new blog on cooking!
Happy reading and sharing guys! :)

Ginger, garlic and more!

My classroom - drained!

Having completely drowned in the boredom holidays gifted me with, I didn't want to miss the opportunity of going to college when I got to. I had a small work there of course but for some reason I just didn't want to return back home after I had completed my work. After catching over a quick chat with two of my friends and when time came to bid goodbye, I knew what I wanted to do! I suggested we go to our classroom and spent some time there, rekindling the times we shared together. Both of them disagreed at once, the fact being they were too very lazy to climb the stairs all the way to the third floor where our class was! Known for my never give up attitude, I didn't waive either! After a lot of compromises, they finally did agree or better, I made them to.


After a ten minutes walk with them grumbling all the way, we finally reached the third floor. The hush corridor reminded me of the times we got delayed in the canteen and would rush back to our class breaking through the calmness of the corridor only to find that the class hadn't started! We would then blame the one who warned us "We're late, let's hurry up!". A smile lit up my face when our class drew nearer. And there was our classroom, covered in tranquil - the way one can never find it when we are there!

The usual scenario flashed across my mind. Chaos and laughters - the basic elements that comprised the classroom be it when the teacher is inside the class or not! And there was always a surprise for the teacher. He/she can find a student sitting on the floor in the middle of the lecture. Before the teacher could figure out what had actually happened, laughter wouldn't just wait! The hide fact - he would have been pushed off from the bench by the fellow close by him! And we never needed a separate hour for refreshments to stay active all the time. We can refresh ourselves even while the class is on. Wonder how? Every time the teacher turns towards the board, a piece of snack goes straight into our tummies! Saves time, isn't it? ;)


P.S: There is no gender discrimination here - both girls and guys are equally contributive!


I did burst into laughter thinking about the fun times and so did my other two friends until my watch warned me it was high time to get back home!

Here I come!

     Finally, here I crawl into the big world of blogging! I have always had a passion for writing but was a little hesitant to take up blogging as I was uncertain if I really would get the time to. But, thanks to my lovely friends who gave me all the courage and pushed me in here! Thus, here I am!
          

     Though I had created my blog a month ago, I had always been distracted by some work or the other which kept me busy for some time and completely made me forget about the blog after that. And it has taken me a month to publish my first post! Now, you'll can very well understand what crawl meant! Although I didn't know much about blogging and blogger (which seemed a little complicated to me) as well, I took some time off learning and now, I figure it's time to start-off. For the naming part, I was determined to name my blog the way I would describe me best. As dreams and aspirations occupy a huge part of me, I chose to name it this way! I'm sure everybody does have unrealistic imaginations and I do have a lot of them but this blog will rarely carry their essence. l choose to integrate my interests, some of my day-to-day incidents and nostalgic memories in this blog. Comments and suggestions about this blog are most welcome!


Happy reading guys! :)
