Good---no, Awesome Hair Day

I had a haircut few days back.I do almost every six months but had not attracted as much attention as this time. Maybe it wouldnt have been sucha big hype were I back in Muscat. But people here in Kerala just can't take it if a 16 year old girl has her hair cropped off below her ears.I guess they have not seen many. The perfect girl here is one who has waist length oiled hair neatly braided and tied with ribbons.Excuse me!

So as I walked into school it felt a movie with a hundred pairs of eyes staring at me.Hundred pairs of wide open shocked.,horrified ,surprised( yup! i got all kind of response)eyes.I walked into 11b first looking for Aparna.Loud Gasps, girly screams and more shocked faces.Aswathy screamed her way to me. "Alice!"..yeah i wish. But the closest thing that Alice Cullen and I have in common is the hair(hers is spikier and shorter) because Alice Cullen is a vampire and she's beautiful!

The guys all seemed quite confused. They didn't like it. Hahaha. How little they have seen. I guess its just not normal for these mallu( no offence but the word is nearly official when you are referring to a keralite)  boys to see girls walking around with short hair.Apparently i was the "laughing stock among the boys" as quoted by a friend.Pahaha!Why in the world were they bothered about my long gone hair when I barely cared.I'm sorry I didn't know I was Rapunzel.The long-braids moaned and wept over my loss.They sympathised with me and some even went on to suggest hairl oils and Ayurvedic treatment to grow it back fast.I roared with laughter. I didnt cut my hair to grow it back the next day with Ayurveda magic.

There is something I have noticed about these people.When something changes sunddenly and they are not prepared for it their first reaction is resentment for the change and the next mockery.They poke fun at what is new and unknown.Some sort of inbuilt defense mechanism I'd say.Anway while I'm around they'd have to see some things changing.

cheerio!

    @Mia
    Heyyy...this post was a good one!! And I think the hairstyle rocks coz I did see your pic on facebook. I am quite sure that ur hairstyle would not be a surprise factor in Cochin!! (No offense to all others who have commented earlier..but I really dont care! :-))

    And yea...you cant help it if guys laughed at you coz they seem to have less exposure of the outside world than you. Once they get of school and finish college..they will reach ur level !! :-D
    Cheers!

iT''s been some time since I picked up a brush. Not the most impressionist, but for the love of oil pastels,here is a ballroom couple!  Tried to stick to Red,Blue and White in this one. Intended to be Katrina Kaif but turned out a hybrid of Katrina and Penelope? or some man? Originally a pencil sketch that the scanner cast a spell on. So this is what you get.

the riGht to arroganCe

Of all human traits I find arrogance most interesting. I believe there are two sides to it. There is plain unworthy arrogance and there is reasonable justified arrogance. Sometimes I'm drawn to arrogant people. To those who are really good at what they do and know it themselves too. Some call it being over-confident.Some call it sheer arrogance. I too call it arrogance sometimes.With a bitten lip and a grudging smile. Why do you secretly admire that arrogant son of a bitch?Simply put , because he's so AWESOME!~ *droool*. Why do you seem to overlook the fact that he nevertheless is arrogant. Because arrogance becomes an attribute to the person (though I always make it point to keep that to myself). I don't encourage arrogance but I don't want to criticize it either.Sometimes arrogance provides what humility does in terms of inspiration. Humility is a good thing.Being modest and not boastful, yes I do respect such people.But put both kinds on the counter and ...

buddy ol' friend ol' pal

I was walking back from after school classes with Aparna whom I barely knew two years back.She has become one of my best friends. Waiting beneath the old banyan bus stop with the rest of Mar Ivanios, we stood talking about how things had just fallen into place. How we ended up doing everything together. Like best friends. It's funny because we had been in the same school for 7 years back in Muscat but the only thing that we had in common was Christy as our best friend. Nothing more than a hi-bye person. I  am a very bad friend. I don't always remember birthdays and text at toc-12 or walk people to their house (which may be on the very next right) because they are afraid of getting mugged. Bottom line: i'm not "sweet". I detest people who put up silly quotes (and worse their own) on friendship as stats--and those who like them. Coming back to live in India was like some sort of a test. Except it was more important that one made mistakes.The right mistakes. ...
