ladkiyon ke naatak

the difference between auburn and red is GLARING when it's the colour on your hair. pata nahin mujhe kya bhoot chadhaa, i thought i'll get my hair coloured. after all these years of having the same colour, i thought, maybe a change will be nice.

so i excitedly walk into the salon, and tell them what i want. they show me a range of coloured hair strips, and i pick one which is really just dark brown, and shines a lovely auburn in the sun. i imagine myself with hair highlighted with a beautiful colour, shining gloriously in the sun, and i let them bring it on. they do their job, while i happily dream away, little knowing what the end result is going to be like.

not only has she highlighted too many strands, she has screwed up the shade as well. now, i look like a junkie from amsterdam, with bright red streaks on my hair. where's the elegant, graceful woman who was supposed to walk out of that door in my shoes?

i have been told that after a few washes, the brightness of the colour will subside, and then it'll look closer to the colour i chose. and pigs fly.

and no, the hublet hasn't seen it yet. he will see it today, and will probably want to hide behind a mask, to not be seen walking around with me.

SIGH!
