My mother cut my hair last week and accidentally cut it more than what we wanted to. No problem though as it gives me freedom from split ends and also to leave my hair open occasionally, at least at home. Contrary to all the popular myth that I heard, my hair is as thick as ever even after two children; my maid had warned me that I would lose my hair the moment my daughter started smiling! I think that belief must've stemmed from the fact that post-delivery diet was not great in her generation and it would start showing on the hair by the time the baby got a month old.
One of my friends is on the verge of a divorce and she's asked me to counsel her husband in her defense.The first reaction from my husband was one of dismissal of my persuasive powers which I don't claim to have either. But I'm going to try nevertheless just to give some support to my friend who I know has struggled a lot in her life. Actually, before 10 years I didn't know anybody who had had a divorce but now I've seen quite a few though in every one of those cases, I've known only the lady involved. The problems this side are mostly similar - interfering and demanding in-laws, insensitive, jealous and at times even cruel, husband. Though most of the times I feel I would've done the same thing myself, there are occasions I've felt that ladies are giving up too easily. I don't know what a guy's viewpoint is in this entire affair and I wonder why they become so unreasonable with a struggling partner whose life today is so much tougher in all the aspects - working in the office, managing child/children who as a generation are quite demanding and managing the household affairs too.
Bangalore has been very windy throughout this week and may be some of it has swept the clouds off the sky so we've hardly had our share of rain this season. But it's a pleasure to walk to the office in this weather and I enjoy all the 20 minutes of it, especially the one around the lake which has been sparkling these days. Cute little ducks chase each other while a fountain splashes water all around and though I'm sweating by the time I reach office, I'm happy.
