Motta And Mushroom

So it was the weekend, well it still is. so yesterday was saturday.. ok i wont dillydally anymore ( funny word right?) OK really. so i kind of cut off  my hair.
Is june still there? :0
ps: The boi became a motta-shaved head ie, if anyone non mallu happens to be reading,though am highly doubting anyone is reading!
so now i look like a mushroom and he is the motta. thus the title.

saturday saw us both wake up late,me still with very bootiful long hair, i have been talking about this for ever.this chopping hair off,but many factors stood in the way, like wide eyed grandmoms, irked moms, one june,the general feeling that i will look pretty stupid. The last time i did this was in 6th std and my god it was not a pleasant sight. i had oil dripping hair and side bangs like "jayan" and i wore these long skirts with full sleeved tops and generally added to the pollution around.
but now,now am a pretty child. well,almost and let me tell you all you doubting thomases,i look good.
not too bad. really.

i could be a boi, thats how short it is. the lady at the parlor was very sweet and understanding about the emotional upheaval and the significant amount of hair that was going,she asked me if i would like to keep it in a pony. that was a little creepy though,so i decided not to. Anyway misty, cut it off at the nape and i shook my head and it felt so goood! so this is how boi's live eh!! so light headed.
And then she snipped and just went at it! i dint realise i had my hands all fisted ( you know what i mean) and one guy decides to show me the positves- Imagine how much shampoo i will be saving. Right.

The thing is i just wanted to do it once,you know. I knew it would feel extremely awesome but i kept wondering about a thousand things, you would think how hard is it! but i worried about it not growing back in the same heavy lush way it is, it never growing back and then i found all these reasons why i should just get it done with.

It was so irritating to go back and forth like this and i kept telling myself- stop,its just hair! but then immedietly i would imagine a 40 plus balding me. The what people would say part-doesnt matter anymore,not that it ever really did, but Mallu family and friends have an amazing way of creeping in to your activities and proclaiming their space. But am far far away to even hear it.

and now i feel so good. The boi who was very skeptical and anxious and such and who asked me "exactly how short" at least his concerns had to do with "oh but you have such pretty hair, and the use of the word beautiful a lot" and so when i told him like Barkha Dutt short,though i dont like "her" or Arundhati Roy short- who i am re liking now.
He was quite appalled and he went on to considered the size of my head which apprently wouldnt go well with short hair but clearly he was wrong,proved by the eeee grin on his face when i finally got done,yes,he stayed and kept me company :)
So here i am - The mushroom.

ps: The boi felt all jealous and bitter and alone in this long hair world :p Jk. Boi decided he dint want any hair at all and shaved it all off. Though i was little worried if i would still be turned on by a bald head,all that was resolved when he emerged looking not shiny bald but sort of green. yeah doesnt sound too good. But he has this really small round nice head and it looks good!
and then i got jealous and bitter at how wonderful he must be feeling. yeah i dint though,that would be like really pushing it!

Here is to Motta and Mushroom.
