I’m sitting at Barber shop. “Saar, please sit here” Shaamu spoke in his broken English. I sat on the chair and told him to give me hair massage using Navratna oil. I closed my eyes. Shaamu starts pouring hair oil into my head. It brought coolness to my head. “Thup Thup”. He starts massaging by pressing my head with his fingers. I start feeling good and suddenly I’m lost in my own thoughts. Shamu fingers start doing magic. “Thup Thup” – he presses harder A series of thoughts start occurring – “What I am doing with my life?” “Thup Thup”…
