hello... Mr. BALDwin.

This title is not to be confused with one of Enid Blytons', and if you do meet him, please try to explain for me that the similarity is hardly noticeable... plz...

70% males suffer from baldness or start to show signs before the age of 30 (source wikipedia... if you cant find it there, then somebody must've removed it). Another, "A number of primate species also experience hair loss following puberty, and some primate species clearly use an enlarged forehead, created both anatomically and through strategies such as frontal balding, to convey increased status and maturity"... (i'd mention the source but i was not sure if the lines following this were in my best interests)... Now, coming to the point i wanted to make...

I want to tell you guys about a serious condition that i've been suffering through... its called... "premature balding which is uncalled for" and i've tried to find all possible solutions (and played ginny pig for most of them) to force it to take a detour from the inevitable. Yes i am getting BALD.

This is probably the worstest (dont blame me... Bhargav introduced me to that innovation in english grammar) thing that can happen... wouldn't it break your heart to see a strand of hair stuck in your fingernails whenever you take them near the scalp?... there it'll be... curved like twisted mouth of the devil who just devoured an innocent bird and was not even sure why... or when you wake up one morning and find that a significant number of hair had a heart attack the same night and their corpses lie on your pillow. Not to mention that while i was trying to figure out the reason for this, someone decided to shoot your soulmate named confidence with a shotgun and he is trying hard ever since to rise but will have to do with memories of the GLORY days, much like the SENSEX... And all this without me doin anything to trigger it...

So dearest fans of mine... i took the path of voluntary baldness... and payed a barber to take off all that was left of it in hopes of finding out what was wrong with the soil in which the seeds of those erstwhile strands wouldn't hold... and just like the book of revelations that does not reveal anything, i found nothing wrong, just few white spots which are the largest producers of dandruff flakes and a few pimple like projections towards the sky. As i said, nothing new... The only consolations for now till all those oily concoctions, which my mom have in mind, yield results are to found in the first para of this post... Also i dont have to see them fall everyday on my broad and proud shoulders... farewell my dearest, we shall be together, if not in this life then the next...

In loving memory of my hair...
