I finally took the time out this weekend to get my grooming done! The weather was clean, sunny. I wanted to go for a walk anyways, so why not just walk to the saloon! Trimmed my beard a couple of days back and got a haircut today. This was one of the rare instances where I actually liked the haircut. I don't know why, but I'm never happy with haircuts. There's always something that bothers me (even if there's nothing wrong with the haircut).
Don't get me wrong, I don't nag the barber for a "bad" haircut. It's just to myself, I find something is not right and every time it's nothing specific. Maybe I'm just annoyed I had to "waste" an hour in the queue waiting for my serial. But today I liked it. Maybe because of how bad it was before the haircut (I've spoken all about it in my previous post)! It is also quite relieving as I was starting to feel like I'm harboring all of the heat of the last few days in my head. It feels like a heavy weight (literally!) has been lifted off of my head!
I have fallen behind by quite a bit in our writing challenge. Dada is running off with it at 10 or 11 posts already! Or is it "12?" I've lost count really, I'm sitting comfortably at 5 :D Well, what was I expecting getting into this challenge!
I'm sure head-clerk will agree, but Linco bhai thinks I can still catch up! Let me let him down in the grandest of failures :D :D
Speaking of which, I think it is good to let people down from time to time. Don't you think? Let me elaborate.
Maybe you are really good at finding free pdfs of ebooks online and you are the go to guy whenever someone needs a pdf. And guess what, you deliver every time! Every friggin' time, until one day when you don't. You just couldn't find it. Big deal!
But yes, big deal! You've delivered so many times, you haven't let anyone down in so long that they have grown to believe this is how it is supposed to be, always. That, it is for granted. And so, the one single time you don't deliver and someone else does deliver, your contribution is already being questioned.
You're at fault mister, for you've let people down a bit too late.
No one blames an average player when they fail to deliver, but the once in a blue moon when Lionel Messi or Christiano Ronaldo fails to deliver, all hell breaks loose!
And that is how humans are with their tiny goldfish memory. Ungratefulness is probably tied in to human nature. Who knows!
Anyways, I'm "looking" like a human again after the haircut and beard trimming, says my mother. I sure as hell don't wanna act like a human though :)
Happy Weekend!
