And then the worst thing happened. I do not know if the person on the bench wanted to take revenge of me. He ordered two cups of tea.... One for himself, and the other one for the Barber. What worse could happen?? The barber stopped his work for tea. When I watch a programme on TV, the ad breaks irritate me a lot. For the first time I saw somebody taking 'tea-break', that too having tied me up. I couldn't go away as my hair was in a 'half-cut' position. They already call me a clown. I didn't want them to call me a super-clown. The only way out was, to sit there quietly, and pray to God.
I just dared to request the barber once, if he could 'kindly' hurry. The barber didn't reply. He finished his tea, and began his work again. 'Zip-Zap' went the scissors over my head. I made him recall once again that I needed shorter hair.
After scissors played their part, 'astura' began its work. It had to adjust my columns.
Finally, after 6 minutes (from then), it was done. The 'war' was over.
I was to pay Rs. 13/- to the barber. But he demanded 15/-. I had no time to bargain, that too just for Rs. 2/-. So I paid him what he had asked.
When I came home, and looked at the time-piece, I saw I had just 5 minutes in hand. I knew I had no possibility to be in the tuition on time. It takes ten mimikks to reach there itself. I calculated and saw, I'd be at least half an hour late. I came to a decision of not going there. Then what about the matter I needed to understand?? I never have a thought to it, as I knew I will have leaves before maths exam. I'd get ample time to clear my small problem I had in maths. I didn't wanna spoil my birthday taking more tensions.
The day is gone. I had got lot of wishings from my friends and relatives. But frankly speaking, no 'barber' had come to wish me a happy birthday!!
