My friend Henry was looking into the mirror and splashing talcum powder on his body when he felt a pinch on his legs. He had forgotten to notice his brother sitting down with a laptop. Both the laptop and the brother’s head were covered with powder and that was the cause for the angry pinch.
Make-up is an art mastered by women. Men are not made up for make-up. But with the advent of the metrosexual man, make-up is breaking the sex barrier. The craving to look good, in fact, lands some men in deep trouble.
A Gujarati friend in Mumbai wanted to beat baldness. He tried wigs but was not happy. Someone told him that a balm was effective. He went for it. The balm actually had some acid mix. Result: A deep, black mark on his head. All he could do later was to cover his head with a cap.
“Mr B. There’s way to remove that mark,” I suggested playfully one day.
“How?”
“Our laundry man can bleach all stains.”
Mr B chased me away with four-letter words.
Boss, as I always say, nothing can make us look better than a hearty smile.
OK, a crisp joke:
“Dream big,” a teacher told the class.
“Then allow me to sleep for an hour,” replied a boy.
I often tease my nephews that they have more cosmetics than me!
ReplyDeleteLOLz I'll remember the bleach one forever!!!
ReplyDeleteBTW new layout looks great! Cheers! :)
Absolutely right, smile makes you look better. There is a saying in tamil ( punnagai - sirandha nagai) meaning smile is the best ornament.
ReplyDeleteyour posts always lift my spirits. ALWAYS. this one is no exception :))
ReplyDeleteas usual, ek dum bindaaas :)
hearty smile is indeed the bestest accessory..!
Personally, I am against men using cosmetics and worse when men use wigs.
ReplyDeleteI have been losing hair, but it has not crossed my mind to ever try a wig.

Now a days men are keen on grooming than women. :-)
ReplyDeleteNice one!
men have become more conscious than women these days :D
ReplyDeletenice one
ReplyDeleteQuite a formidable package.
ReplyDeletemen are a lot into grooming these days, they even do their eye brows, manicure their nails and choose what they wear more carefully than their female counter parts. i find all this quite amusing. A smile is always the best makeup if you have good teeth, that is.
ReplyDeleteMen with make-up or wigs look ugh. But, your post is hilarious as always :).
ReplyDeleteVery nice flow.Good article
ReplyDeleteInstead of balm, he should have tried oil! At least, it would have kept his head cooler.
ReplyDeleteNice makeover of the blog page !I echo Sujata -'A smile is always the best makeup if you have good teeth .'

ReplyDeleteWell...but some people don't try or put extra effort to look good...if you have a good heart...your look will less bothered...
