A Bald Man Speaks Out!

Don’t know why but everyone considers I was born as I’m now; just countable hair on the crown, a barren and shining front and somewhat thicker than thin temples. Had I been a TUKLA (bald) completely I would’ve agreed with you that I was born like that; in fact born like most of all but I’m not, so I reject this accusation forthwith. Friends say your consumption of soap & cold cream must’ve been increased with ever expanding forehead alongside a sharp decline in the use of shampoo & jell.
They advise me to go for a hair transplant so that I can look under-age, smart, charming and attractive. One even went on saying that girls would simply die for your company once you grew hair. Tell you what! This is the reason I stay away from considering it. I just can’t withstand lovely girls dying just for hair.
It’s a universal truth (partly agreeing to it, though) that hair loss brings disadvantages to one’s life. I for one take this demerit as the most humiliating of all types; enter a barber shop for a hair trim and get an amusing & sarcastic grin not only from the barber but other customers in waiting as well. The irony is you are charged more money than those with a labyrinth of hair.
Let me confide in some secrets: I love the sound of scissors cutting a chunk of my hair. Unfortunately this happens only when the barber works down the back of my neck (at or near the nape) or around temples. Sadly enough, most of the time the scissors finds sparsely placed weak hair and works as if it has put on a silencer.
Other secret; when my wife strokes the large hairless curved crown with her finger tips I can’t share how lovely it feels. The same feeling can only be had once you become a TUKLA. Now don’t retreat by arguing that stroking the hair gives more ecstasy. I’ve been subjected to all of these experiences and still stick to my earlier judgment. Try it!
Can someone tell me why bald men always carry combs with them? Poor fellows! Wind is their number one enemy. It simply won’t let the hair stay and stick to the slippery surface because the lifeless hair grown excessively long around one temple are stretched and pulled across the crown to the opposite temple.
There are some ways to tackle the embarrassment of your hair swinging down the earlobe tickling the cheek, like; hold your hair with the palm, put on a cap, or comb it again and again.
