Hair Cuts

Well...the career fair is coming up...and with the hope of getting an internship, i am all geared up updating my resumes, and all d usual stuff. But with all this, there's one thing which i am all geared up to loose..rather cut...the HAIR!!!, one of my prized possessions....well ya i do consider it a prized one..Its been quite a while since i cut my hair ...(Not because its considered an expensive thing back home..cutting hair in US..10$ and stuff, but i simply love growing my hair out..)and since the past 2-3 years, i have cut my hair only 2-3 times, once for my internship in my last semester, yeah PRODUCTION ENGINEERING did have one...and once before my visa interview...
Since the dawn of my engineering days, growing hair was a challenge more than a passion for me. During my junior college days, i had tried nearly all of the hair cuts that were ' in' during those times. The SPIKE cut had my mother going overboard with her reactions, once she was sure that i had willingly cut my hair that way and was not ragged in the college..... :).I wonder what might have happened if i had the MOHAWK done..!!!So come engineering and i thought she would actually support my Hair growing thing.. But..
2 attempts and after severe words of wisdom from all of my relatives i nearly accomplished what i had set to when my sister's wedding came. "CUT THE HAIR OR DON'T COME TO THE WEDDING", well it was not the option for me and down went my tresses. By the 3rd year of my engineering, the resolve had become much stronger and 3 months into my 5th semester, i was mysteriously struck by HERPES....(i was tired telling people that it was a viral thing and not a STD as presumed by some...well...)..So cut the hair..
6th Semester and nothing was going to stop me..i did manage a whole semester without an appointment to the salon..(as if any was needed to go to the OM Hair Cutting salon)..7th Semester started and my college professors went on asking me are you quitting college and taking up modeling????Well i tried to take it as a compliment...and then came the thing which actually prompted me to write this blog..INTERNSHIP..Fortunately we dint have to hunt for any as the college ensured we got in somewhere, but it was interview time and hence with all the happy memories, i had to shed the long locks..
As i keep wondering bout the good old days, i am ready for another hair cut..Wonder what i'll say to the hair dresser( It was fun back home when a lady cut my hair for the 1st time..it was in JUICE..I was like just cut anyway you want...You've already made my day..)..But the memories will be cherished..I don't know whether i'll be as excited as i was some years ago to again grow these kids but its always worth the effort..back then i had got in...After this career fair..I hope i do it again..
