It is scary, crazy times and I have much to talk about that. To start with fear!
Fear has a big part to play in our lives and everyone including Harry Potter knows that. Today I talk about how conquering fear turned out to be a cool thing. Almost like getting rid of a Boggart with the Riddikulus spell!
Going bald can be a fashion and is often tied to ones identity, but it comes with extreme fear and anxiety. The 45-min quest of trying to style my hair at home (with Prerna’s help) got frustrating and I said, let’s just get rid of these. After all they will grow back sooner or later. Also what better time than this to dare 🙂
The first shave with the trimmer was full of jitters, but after that there was no going back. And when you do something like this, it is hard to forget an important lesson – don’t just acknowledge the elephant in the room, sit over it. So I went ahead and shared my new look on Instagram and voila, the response was great.
People love it, friends loved and even folks whom I haven’t spoken to in a while loved it. It also inspired at least 2 family members to follow suit. I guess some more folks got a nudge.
If and when I lose my hair permanently, I now have the comfort that I can pull it off. Knowing this is liberating.

PS @dktejwani took my photo and shared a beautiful graphic a few days later. If anything was left to sit on the elephant, this completed it 🙂
