Sanjay – The Barber

On Saturday I missed you Sanjay. Especially since it has only been a month and a half or so since you cut my hair.

Here, on Saturday, I spent 13 dollars in five minutes and came out feeling cheated and almost violated. A three on the sides and scissors on the top does no justification to the efforts you take.

I have known you for more than a decade. Thank you for not making me cry when I first walked into your shop with a small head and non existent hair. Or the time you offered to get me a new comb, hoping that could solve my problem of curly hair. I am glad we both realized that cutting my hair short was the only option.

I was there when you re decorated your small shop, twice. You were there through most of teens though you never knew the bad stuff. I came to your shop first on my bicycle, then on a sunny, then my silver CBZ, a red indica, a red matiz and finally a silver getz. Each time you made sure my wait was short. This time I clicked a picture with you and you loved it. Each time you ask when I will be making my own car. Each time I lie, soon.

Till the next time I come over for a decent hair cut that’s worth so much more…
