The battle of the hairs - mind over matter!

I laughed at this guy, and remarked, "magaa full white-eno?(in kannada)" - One day, he had full of grey hairs and the next day, none - I understood the secret! ya I know I know, you too understand!! - ok I agree!; you are also smart! Those days my hairs were black & strong!- I was 18 then.

That was in 2000 AD (almost 10 years ago)! and soon there was 2004, you could spot grey hairs on my head - I didn't bother much - I said, "I will never colour my hair, this is style to have one or two (grey hairs)"

Now, It is 2009 September - I can't believe my eyes, I just had a hair cut - Suddenly I could see the grey hairs growing in numbers and putting up a good fight with its black counterparts. All this while, the blacks seem to have given cover for the whites. The truth was revealed much later, thanks to the hair cut! - the greys were starting to show their strength.

From that day onwards, for a week or so, I would observe every head which crossed my way, in the tube, road & everywhere, just to find out if they had grey hairs and did it look bad on them. Go to party, discuss the same, go meet a friend and discuss the same! It was a "grey hair" week!

Ahh, what satisfaction when somebody else also has grey hairs, just like when you realised you are not the only one who failed in the exam, but also your friend :P - just to let you know, my friends also have few grey hairs, though not as much as mine :)

That week went by, and these grey hairs slowly started losing its influence on me - I no longer cared for them, though they tried to show off their shiny surface here and there!

Grey hairs, you no longer affect me - you are gloomed!
But one final warning to Mr.Grey - if you start outnumbering the blacks, you will be coloured!, so better watch out - grrrr...
