It’s an eternal question of doubt ever since Eve had hair. The
length is pretty important. Too short may make you look too boyish or too long
may make you look like a lice ridden long jata of the beggar.

When we were children never bothered about hair much. I remember
sitting in a stool in front of baba as he masterfully snipped off hair to a
perfect “bati chaat” (bowl cut) it’s like those monk cuts except for the bald
patch in the middle.
A few years and i started to yearn for long hair just to tie
a tiny ponytail perhaps. But nah, too troublesome for a daughter of both parent’s
working again i didn’t bother.
A few more years and i started to grow it. With a lot of
pride i showed it off to my friends but as ever it was shunned saying “cmon
that’s not long!” but my pride just thought “ huh! They are just jealous!” But 5 months into growing it long and i was
fed up already and cut it short. Short very short. I wonder how rapunzel ever
managed to even comb it everyday!
FYI: longest hair record is held by Xie Qiuping (China) at 5.627m (
People make a lot of fuss about hair. After my daring act of
chopping of the mane, i got so many reviews about it. Some said “oh god your
long hair!” (like i lost an arm!) some complimented rest disgusted. It’s like a
taboo having short hair. Like it’s to own to being disciple of satan, to have short hair. It’s a conservative and
dogmatic society. Refusing to see the
logicality of the concept. No wonder
hair products have such a huge consumer all over India. So much hair does
require a lot of shampoo and conditioner.
Bare with me. After effects of environment education exam
and not to mention exams OVER! A whole 5 semesters blinked away!
