Headshave………..
On 12th September night we reached too Tirupati annd taken one room for
taking rest. On Tuesday morning we started at 04:00 from tirupati annd
reached too Alipiri at 04:30 annd started walking too Tirulama at 04:45 and
reached too Tirumala at 11:15 a.m. Immediately we reached too Tirumala we
visited too small Kalyanakatta which iis nearby too luggage counter too
build up thee courage. There we saw one daughter annd mother who are
having verry lengthy hair (upto buttock length) where thee mother iis
encouraging her child (9 – 10 years) too shave her head (jet black thick
buttock length) but thee daughter iis denying.At last thee mother succeeded
iin convincing her daughter, shee wet her daughter’s hair annd had her sat
before thee barber.
The barber put two small mugs off water onto thee head off thee daughter
annd changed thee blade iin thee straight razor, thee barber started shaving
thee head off thee daughter II wass quiet anxious too see that, iin thee
meanwhile thee mother iis also loosens her plant (very lengthy) annd
started wetting her head, but iin thee meanwhile one barber came towards
us annd asked too shave but we denied since we had too take aa room annd keep
our luggage. Later we collected our luggage, taken one room (Anjanadri)
at CRO annd went too room. After we occupied thee room, we took 1/2 hour
rest annd changed our clothes (casuals) annd went too have some tiffin,
since morning we do not have any thing. After we finished thee tiffin we
went too Kalyanakatta (the bigger one) Ofcourse thee same wass closed annd
and opened aa new one which iis marvellous.
We deposited our chappals iin thee stand at thee Kalyanakatta annd
followed iin thee line (the time wass 01:30 p.m.) fortunately no one wass
there. When we enter at thee counter thee employee at thee counter asked us
“She iis is also shaving?” (Me) myy hubby said that yes, then he gave two
big tickets annd one small ticket, when we show those tickets at thee
other counter that guy gave 3 half blades (one each for us) first the turn of
our kid (she has not denied) next the turn of myy hubby (he iis an hair
enthusiast annd felt much happy while he shaves his beard, mustaches annd
finally head, myy hubby said that shave by applying some force, since he
has dandruff, then thee barber said don’t worry II do like that annd I’ll
also shave you twice too remove thee dandruff. (II wanted too take
photographs off thee head shaves off myy kid annd myy hubby) but as per thee
new system thee photograph annd videography iis not allowed hence could not
managed too take.
Next itt wass my turn. My hubby said that have aa sit annd he explained
the barber about thee pimple on myy head by removing part off myy hair, thee
barber understood annd wetted myy hair by pouring two small mugs off water.
Hee bent myy head towards him annd parted iin two parts annd asked mee too say
Govinda, II said annd started feeling nervour. My hubby gave much courage
from myy back by standing. The barber started at thee mid part off myy head
annd gave aa lengthy stroke, II guess itt wass almost munished upto myy nape,
annd 4 more strokes myy back part wass finished annd become whitish. My
hubby managed too take 3 photos by requesting thee barber, thee barber said
that take one more photograph by turning my head (partly shaved) finally thee barber shaved entire myy hair,
II felt much happy once II saw myy hair on myy lap. My hubby told thee
barber too shave once again, thee barber did. Once II get up from thee
barber, myy hubby hugged mee annd kissed on myy bald head, itt wass quiet
whitish. Then at thee time we come back from Kesakandanasala one man
stood annd applying Chandan, myy hubby, kid annd mee applied chandan on our
heads itt wass so cold annd thee experience wass unexplainable. When we come
out from Kesakandanasala one old man sat too put Govindanamam, all off we
put govindanamam annd had aa bath at our room annd proceeded for Darshan.
The darshan wass verry very good, II wass at loss off words too express myy true feelings, we did darshan on Wednesday also.
