Grey Hairs !


Grey Hairs !!


The plural of hair is hair , thats what we have been taught in school . But what if one's black hair start to turn grey at a tender age ? One is forced to express his discontent by using the word ' hairs' . It might not provide solace to many but a few would surely like to say "if my/our hair do not stop turning grey I/we would insult hair by calling them with different derogatory names !!"


Many surveys (&even without them) have revealed stunning facts. Many children(both sexes) in the cities have grey ' hairs ' even before reaching an age of fifteenOn the contrary children in the rural areas enjoy black hair for a much longer life span.

The greying of hair has been attributed to eating habits , air & water pollution ,genetics to name a few. One has no control over genetics except to fight his/her parents . Grrrrrrrrrrr!! ,eating habits can be monitored & similarly air & water pollution,but then I'm feeling that none of us appreciate this & the reader has started grumbling " Its my life & stop playing a mother !" :( :(


The better ways :

1. Color your 'hairs' , avoid black since if you have to use a dye why not use pink & green Or blue.

This would give a jazzy look & would hide grey 'hairs'

2. Try an 'Andrae Aggase', to be precise keeping no hair is both economical &a viable solution . We save on oil , shampoo and many similar cosmetics. Never the less a thousand heads turn to see a bald head moving.


I have boasted of lush black hair but a recent discovery shattered my myth. Grey 'hairs' have grown like unwanted weeds on my head & they seem to grow with each day. Another example that happiness is short lived.


The greying of hair for software engineers can be compared with the rings of a tree by which one can predict its age. Each grey hair has a story . A 'build fail 'Or 'No salary hike' Or ' Girlfriend who ran away' Or 'age' Or ...................


No matter what the reason be the 'grey hairs' have invaded our heads . Lets fight the menace together by calling them ' grey hairsssssssssssssssssss !!'




An Autobiography !

An Autobiography
Or
The Story Of My Experiments With Truth
M.K Gandhi


'How can one steal this, its too much!",well I apologize for using this as a title for my article(and no apology to those who are scratching their head to discover as to what crap is going on.
I'm sure no body would sue me for plagiarism.

Reading & writing is my hobby& to keep up to others expectations I try reading what ever comes across. This way one can surely boast to be an intellectual , any buyers ?
"The Story Of My Experiments With Truth" is a unique autobiography in itself. It takes a lot of guts to admit ones shortcomings.

Every book/story has a lesson to derive from & it took me no time(how intelligent) to find out that the moral to learn was : truthfulness !!

And here I was/am ready to stand for values & nothing less but truth.I was bubbling with enthusiasm & wanted to portray at the slightest of provocation as to how strongly I would imbibe by the 'learnings' .

My friend called up the same day(the day I finished the book), he wanted me to come down to his house for a gathering.I had no better excuse than this :'I am expecting a relative today'.

The episode filled me with compunction, I had spoken a lie , the truth being that I wanted to spend time in my own sweet way . Nothing too bad happened but it did teach me that how onerous it is to be truthful always .

After each episode I convince myself that all my lies were 'small'(lies can be classified into small, big, bigger, huge,gigantic,monstrous,..) & that I had not harmed anyone.

Not sure if my 'lies' have surpassed my 'truths' but every lie does make me feel as if Gandhi standing and saying "Common buddy ! their is a long - long way to go before you write something like "The Story Of My Experiments With Truth !".
