My father gave me a haircut in lockdown

My father is a great man. He loves me very much. I also love him very much especially whenever I need his help. Today I told my father I needed his help and he told me money can't buy happiness but it can buy a decent haircut.

One problem everybody is facing in lockdown is that the barbers have shut shop and disappeared. But this has not stopped our hair from growing. 

This means men who in the pre-lockdown world tried to look like Ranveer Singh are now looking like Nana Patekar.

As someone who in the pre-lockdown world looked like Satish Shah (I'm really fat) due to my hair growth had started to look like Bappi Lahiri.

Since I have no gold jewelry I decided to stop looking like Bappi da. The only person who could help me now was my father. He and a pair of scissors could really save me from people asking to give them selfie as Saroj Khan.

I asked my father to give me a haircut and he said no. I asked the reason for his no. Father said he didn't have the requisite training. I said the only training you need to cut my hair is the ability to hold a pair of scissors. My father was really impressed by ability to take risks and said yes.

I told him the haircut plan. Move the scissor over my ears in semi-circle pattern and the haircut will be over.

I brought my father a scissor and a comb. My father used them to delete the growth over my ears.

I told my father that he is an awesome barber. The stupendous success of his first attempt made my father decide he wanted to unleash his barbering talent on me. He said, "I can cut more if you want."

"Do it gov'nor," I spoke enthusiastically.

My father unleashed on me all the knowledge he had collected by watching barbers cut his hair. 

The result proved my father was right. You need some training to cut hair.

I thanked my father for the haircut. My father smiled and said, "My dear son, you need to pay me Rs100."

My dear friends I am writing this blogpost to tell that Doordarshan may be showing Ramayan but we are still living in Kalyug. Please don't pay your family members Rs100 for haircut that makes you look like minister in Ravana's court. Such haircuts are worth only Rs50 and over-charging during lockdown must not be tolerated.
