An I-day Observation

Free India turns 60 today. I wonder whether I'll live to see 100th year of independence. It's 40 years from now. I would not put my money on it. I am already 25, and living till 65 seems like a distant dream, both literally and figuratively. I have been so glad about the fact that I have never had major hair issues, unlike some of my friends from college and work whose hairlines have been receding in early 20's. But a friend remarked today, "Panju, tumhare baal udh rahe hain". On close inspection, I found that my hair density has indeed come down. Does it mean I am more desirable to women now? After all, a classic song goes like,

Udey jab jab zulfein teri, kunvariyon ka dil machale, jind meriye. :-D

Anyways, I hardly let appearance and looks bother me. And my defense mechanism is - The world is divided into two kinds of men - those who are bald, and those who are going to turn bald.

Happy Independence day!
