My Hair
As a teenager, I was so lean and lanky. My mother worried over my physical stature. She believed that all the nutrients in my diet, were rapaciously devoured by my hair. From childhood onwards, I had long, thick hair that cascaded down my back like a jumping cataract. Each time I got ready for school in my uniform, my mom had trouble plaiting it into two pigtails. After school, it took much of my time to tease apart the strands, release and unbind, what my mom had so neatly done. She wanted to cut my hair short, I too agreed as it took so long for me to have my hair dried after every bath. (It was a time when we had not even heard of hair dryers!) When I conveyed my mom’s decision to my friends, they said in unison- “Your long hair is your sole attraction, we are all jealous of you for it. If you cut it you’ll be like a sheep after its fleece is sheared, Oh, so ugly” My hair was straight like stick, black and glossy without even a curve. I was so upset about it as curly hair was what everyone preferred, in a village without the ‘refinement’ and sophistications of urban life. After every long journey, I had to spend hours clearing the tangles of my hair. When I entered college, my hair became my distinguishing mark. All referred to me as ‘the girl with long hair’ and it became my identity. Girls from cities had begun frequenting parlours for straightening their hair I was happy I had natural straight hair without recourse to artificial means Thus, for the first time, I began feeling proud of my hair. I spent hours before the mirror, admiring my hair and tying it in styles, varied. Also started wearing it with my chin up and flaunting it unabashedly. When I joined college as a lecturer, I could hear exclamations of ‘wow’ from my students, whenever I turned to the black board to write something, and my silly feminine heart fluttered in vanity like a peacock. Before long, silver threads began to peek here and there. When they came in one and two, I plucked them away. But Time, like a mischievous imp began to play nasty games. In a couple of years, I was all grey and now I thrive on hair dye. Indeed, a messy job! To make things easy I have cut my hair short. Sad, my mother is not there to see me in short hair!
