Kid at salon

I was in a parlour last week and this cute girl child who had come with her mom for a haircut caught everyone’s attention there. She was really puny, with her face just as small as our palm. A little dark in complexion, clear face with tiny crying eyes. She was very tiny but her loud cry was in decibels and could have been heard by someone 10 blocks away!

She was covered with a yellow sheet on her to protect her from falling hair. The beautician who was cutting this girl’s hair whenever touched her face, this girl would cry loud saying leave me please.

The cutest thing about this cry was, she would constantly talk to this person who was cutting her asking questions and making comments. We watching them including the kid’s mom were on a roll.
Her voice was so sweet even when talking while crying.

And whenever she touched near the kid’s ear for a trim, the kid would yell in the top of her voice. And finally she was like… is it over now?!!
Very cute to see this kid who hated her haircut completely but probably giving an entertainment to everyone around her. Her mom had to hold her hands most of the time.
I checked with my sister who has 2 sons if her kids were also like this during a haircut. And yeah with no doubt it was the same!

And for guys they use that machine to roll over the head to cut hair which is worse!

Kids are always amusing when in any form of emotion!!

And we always have something to learn from them….

Welcome 2013

2012 – was quick with lot of things happening!
I just got used to 2012 and now we are in 2013. A quick year with lot of ups and downs in life.
Some of the events which caught my attention in 2012 are:
Earth quake and Tsunami alerts
Sachin becomes a member of Rajya Sabha
Retirement of Rahul Dravid and Laxman from international cricket
Pranab Mukherjee takes the post of President of India
London Olympics
Ajmal Kasab was hanged to death
Physcopath kills school students in US
Terrorism continues…

And finally the tragic harassment and death of a girl in Delhi which shook the country. Her perseverance and will to live even after going through this entire trauma, makes us realize what real bravery is!
May she rest in peace and let this awaken India with more respect for WOMEN!

On a personal front, 2012 has been a year with mixed emotions…
My career has been pretty good with a promotion and change in job profile.
Personally, I have learnt tons… and I have realized how much I have grown as a person. Also the things I need to change in me to form a better me.

I take 2012 one of the years in my life that has taught me a lot. It showed the best in me and the weakest in me.

I’m going to strengthen my strengths and cut out my weakness towards 2013.
Took a break – a trip to Bangalore with my friends. Visited the radio station there; what an experience.
Then to AR Rahman’s concert… Man what a day… what a performance.
The ambience, loud good music, the mad crowd… everything was just perfect to get my 2012 completed.

Am going to try more such new things in 2013 to keep my learning graph up!

Looking forward for a wonderful 2013 with peace and love!
