Ainthilirunthu Aimbathu Varai....5 to 50 !!!

aaril irunthu arubathu varai...from 6 to 60 is Ranijikanth's story...but this 5 to 50 is my story....no ! not my life's story...thisiz different ... !!

Ok the comments suggest that my blogs are like JAVVU ( ;-} ) -- read that as reeeeeally loooong...so will keep this short..

I still remember...almost every month I had to got there...and always on a sunday....
if not my PT master would make me run 3 rounds ..well that was a big ground u know....

HAIRCUT !!...being a guy has some positives and some negatives....

some things I remember :

1. The wait from 8 o' clk to 9....reading paper....or some book with nice...ahem..nice pictures...

2. the slab that the cutter used to put when i was a kid...I would dissapear in that seat...

3. the pure white cloth

4. I used to close my eyes shut when it is done...I still do...

5. the scary story my nextdoor kid told me , how another kid got his ear cut off just because he didnt hold his head in that ackward angle that the cutter wanted it at

6. the powder that they dab on ur neck once it s done.Na th hard brush ....man I aint no dog !!

7. the strong smell of dettol and after shave mix.

8. the heaps of hair...I used to wonder what they'd do with all that hair....I still do !!

9. the question ....when I am giving them hair aren't they supposed to pay me ?

10. looking into the multiple reflections in the mirrors placed opposite to each other...and COUNT HOW MANY HEADS I HAVE !!

11. the bike rides with my dad to the saloon...

12. seeing people dying grey hairs to black...and wonder what colour blonde hairs grey to....well at that age I didnt know the difference between white hair and blondes !!

13. the sound of the sissors that the cutter makes when he is thinking how to spoil my good looks... ! I know....u dont hafta tell....

14. the chairs that go round and round

15. The summer crop to the mushroom cut to the now professional cut...I still prefer the summer crop...

16. everytime my dad wanted me to go back to the saloon and get it cut shorter

17. The little girls who came to boy cuts ( I still have a soooft corner for boy cuts...the demi style...no...not the BOB cuts....me hates them !!..and mind u not everyone looks good with a short crop!)

18. wonder where the cutters to get a hair cut....

19. The people who come to have a facial....ah...ye after that one u'd look like Brad pitt....pitt..yes....what crap !!

20. ..nd finally my fav. the knife they use to size and shave...man ! always wanted to have one...but dunno where to get one !

and now for the 5 to 50 !.....

I started to have cuts for 5...now they cost 50 !!.....but the 20 points remain the same....I really wonder why tis so costly now !!

FEAR ??...really ....?

well I dont have much time....leaving early from office after a loooong time.....jus enough time to type this out....I guess....

A few days back had an interesting conversation with an interesting person...he was like asking me lotsa questions...god knows why...like do I belive in fate and things like that.....then he asked me a question ...that was actually interesting....

MACHAN....WHAT DO U FEAR...??

Thats an interesting one....not because ...I still cant figure out why that was interesting.....but anywayz this is what I said and that actually it took him and me,as well, by surprise....

well...frankly I havent seen myself fear anything.....till now....really...never feared to pick up a fight...take a BIT to exam....stand up to autho.....drive at breakneck speed.....drink lts of alcohol....catch snakes.....wander bout in total darkness...watch scary movies even when I was like some 4-5 yrs old....really...there was nothing that REALLY scared me....not even life....the ups and downs....

but after some serious thought....well....read on...



" I've never feared the sea that can drown me....
fire that can burn me....
the thunderbolt that can fall on me from the great sky...
or the demons of the dark that I was taught to fear....
but,the thoughts from the mind of those who cant be trusted ??...

I've never feared to belive in what I belive...
lie for a greater good..
to fight for a cuase....
or to stand up aginst those against me....
but, people with no principles who dont belive in themselves ???....


I've never feared The kinfe that can kill me....
cruel words as sharp as the knife....
to hold the heart in my hand
or the blood that drips from it....
but, the cut throats who back stab and dont have a spine ??........"



just a thought......ogey....gotta leave..... !!!
