De-tress


Happy New Year All. I am writing this indicates that the world didn't end after all. So here is to another year full of joy, laughter, happiness and success.


Angel had her first hair cut. Over these months she had developed beautiful curls which sadly irritated her to no end. So I reluctantly thought better to cut them off. Reluctant because I thought that it will take away her 'newness'. If you know what I mean. Thankfully MIL agreed for it, although the tradition being, no hair cut before mundan ceremony wherein you go completely bald. We have planned for her mundan after her first birthday. I don't want her to scold me all her life that she was a baldie on her very 1st birthday.

I have made friends with a German girl who is visiting an ashram and staying with someone in our appartment. She is a hairdresser by profession and when I told her about it, she volunteered to cut Angel's hair and I readily agreed. It meant hair cut in Angel's comfort zone. So with fingers crossed, I called her when the little one was sleeping. In the middle of the hair cut, she HAD to wake up, being the baby of principles. But she sat through it without any fuss. Now she looks so different. Un-irritated, but different. She looks like a boy. A very handsome boy at that :)


I hope her curls come back before her birthday! 

I will try to be regular here and will post more as and when time Angel permits.
