i've always thought that i can't maintain hair going below my shoulder and neither do i like it, cz' it's like fighting with ur hair with a comb whenever u go outside.

so this time, when i went to the salon(or rather a barber shop, of which i dunno the name), i thought i'll get a different style this time. i asked the lady to name all the hairstyles in short length. after a lotta naming n den some explanation, i finally decided to get short steps.
it's kinda boring to sit in front of the mirror for 15 minutes, doing nothing and following the barber's instructions - tilt to the left, bend the head forward (i always have problem doin all this, n then she herself bends my head like nething). yea, so i was pretty bored, listening all that she was talking to her assistant(some aunty with weird eyebrows) about all that facial, upper lip n more(about which i could understand nothing).
so at last when she said she'd done, i looked n almost got a shock - the hair a my back had almost gone, they were so thin n from the front i was lookin like salman khan(how i hate him) in 'tere naam' (the hairstyle that really freaks me out, i mean how can ppl do that?). i said nothing and came back home and sat nearly 20 mins. lookin at myself, thinkin about the ways i can pin up those hair on my forehead! it's like really short from the front but shoulder length from the back, with "steps" on them.

reaction -

after a lot of pinning and clipping, the next day in school was one of the most exciting day for children (has to be the embarassing one for me). when i was walkin thru the corridor to my class, almost each n evry student was gazing at me, n i was walkin with my head down. i dunno why they were doing dat actually. i didn't know any of them, most probably they had not even seen me anytime before, so why such amazement?

when i entered the class, all the heads were turned to me n the first reaction i got was from simran-"what?...what have u done?". n dere's dat guy in my class who showed every other person who entered the class that day, my face.....with a cheeky-"look at namita-tom cruise".

i don't know when dis tom cruise did ever have a haircut like the one i have. still they have to say things without makin ne sense....n den lo....i got my new name-"tommy"(i've never heard such a stupid name except for the dogs).

n one of the most strange reaction-"u look like a boy from behind. y don't u wear pants tomorrow". i've never seen a guy with that haircut n neway i liked it, n so did my class teacher who made a copliment, at the end of the day! (i really needed it after a tiresome day)

i have been thinkin of this for like an year now, n i can't believe that im doing it finally. i got a guitar- an acoustic one n im learning how to play it!

here's the story how i thought about it one day n finally laid my hands on it(n more) -

friday,the 28th of september might have been da one day in my life when i took a decision so instantly! i thought of learning guitar, but for that i first had to have the instrument about which i did know nothing about, only thing that it's made of wood, has 6 strings n called acoustic(till lately for me, the one that's not electric). so the next day i stepped inside the music room of my school (my face all strange), and faced the teacher whom i had never seen before.


the school band was practising there n i went up-

me - sir, i want to learn playing a guitar.


sir-(not looking at me) eh?


me- sir, i want to buy a guitar, so which one should i buy?


sir-ok, wait a minute.


me(what's he thinkin?)


after a long pause


the guy in the band - u can buy the black guitar of givsan company! its' good for beginners.


me(??????)


the guy(to sir)- i've told her what u might have told her, sir.


sir(to me)- ok, come outside and i'll tell u.


me(totally frightened cz' he was in bad mood n frowning badly)

but to my amazement, he calmed down n then yold me thing to buy n the particular shop to buy from. so the same day, i told my mom, n she agreed that she'll buy me 1 in the evening, n whoooo i got it!

i thank dat unnammed guy who actually, made sir speak n tell me things. but afterwards, i came to know dat he asked 1 of my friends who came with me later my name n said that i was smart!!!!!!(i don't know what it actually means!)

so now, wheneve i got the music room to learn it, he comes in between, n asks me if he could teach me. i say yes n then he starts off, teaching me where to put my fingers on the fretboard n more. my views?? he's an awesome guitarist! (dat's why he's in the band..duh)
