One Pleasure that I Always look After


There are lot of pleasures that we human beings enjoy and look after but none attracts me more as the one about which i am gonna write about today. I wait for it every month but it does not last for much not more than half an hour and it didn't cost much either, but it varies from person to person. Yes sometimes they are filthy, dirty but its just matter of closing of your eyes and you are on Cloud Nine. So not taking much of your time i disclose the pleasure that i am talking about it is the time that i spend in a Hair Saloon for getting an Hair Cut.


I remember when i was a child i used to go with my Father for having an hair cut and Barber used to put a Wooden Plank on two handles of Chair for me to sit on so that my posture could be elevated , i was so embarrassed by this as i do not want to be seen as a child.But then this problem get solved when i gained some height.




[ The Picture which used to be here is now deleted as the original Photographer of that Pic [to whom I have not taken permission to put it here[unintentionally]] does not want it to be displayed here ]

 



Now from past 8 years i visit a neighborhood Hair Cutting Saloon called Taj Hair Saloon no its not near to Taj Mahal neither i have seen any replica of it inside the saloon. Its an average looking Saloon with 3 Chairs in it and lots of Empty Boxes of Creams, hair colors and Powders all for display and yes we have a TV too.


This Guy Looks Like Osaf 


I remember when i first went there a guy who was younger then me and he was given the duty to cut my hair and he did very well despite being new to this profession, that guy is now the owner of that saloon. His name is Osaf he was small guy at that time now he stands taller then me.


As usual you have to wait for your turn but in the mean time you can enjoy watching Zee Cinema Channel yes you have to watch it even if you don't like, its mandatory cause you don't get the remote or you can go for Amar Ujala Newspaper if both of these things do not fascinates you can do chit chat with Osaf while he is busy with his work but he is always up for this. But i opt for Zee Cinema, even i don't ever watch it at my home but  God knows why i like it at his shop.


When my turn comes the first question he ask is Bhaiyya Wohi Chhote Chhote Krdu ?(Bro same cut with small hair) and i node in affirmative. He will cover my body with a sheet which is tightly tugged at my Neck that virtually Suffocates me. A brisk spray of cold water on my hair and he starts his job. I just relax at this moment while he continues with his job turning my head in all directions and i politely acknowledge that. In between he will start conversation with me, he will ask me where are you working now,what kind of job is yours and all sorts of questions and Gossips. Once when there were no customers except me he told his full family history how the entire generation of his family is in this Business and they are happy doing this work, i enjoy conversing with him i guess this nature of them also makes a customer a permanent one like me[Good Strategy].


You feel like you are in heaven when this hair cutting procedure is being applied on you. I just look at myself in the Mirror whether he is going ok or not with my hair, which my family members compares with Jhadu saying there is no other derivative for them. Even the Barber do suffers with them Bhaiyya bahut he Mote Baal hai aapke [Bro your hair are very thick ], when they grow big they move in every directions hence i prefer to keep them short only


After finishing with the hair he always ask me Shaving bhi krdu aapki ya face massage krdu ? [Would you like to get shaved or try face Massage] but i always decline his offer ,Shaving i do at home only and face massage i know will not make my face any prettier but he gives me a Complementary Champi which is the best part, i so so like this it rejuvenates you. Continuous tapping of his fingers over my head beating the hell out of my Brain but finally Good things always comes to an end and so this also for me.


After paying him[which is not very much] i return home thinking how long will they take to grow again so that i get a chance to visit the Taj Hair Cutting Saloon again.


This is Manish after his new hair cut, by seeing this pic i got an idea to write this post.
