Make overs? Did I say???

So let me see, what have I done today? I do not ponder on this subject a lot, but sometimes I do. And today is one of those days.

For those who have known me, and for those who don't, here goes a humble attempt of publicising 'Kavita'. I am Kavz to my closest friends, K to some, Kavi to family, tigress to one, amma to my daughter, and babe to my husband, well sometimes he calls me pattu... now don't ask me the meaning of this. If you are intelligent enough, ask a tambram, and they could solve your query. Oh get this, Abhi, a very close friend, whom I met in college, and now I am proud to be his close friend, calls me "Ms. Tamarind"! Strange, huh?

Also, people who have known me, know me as a free, casual, and a thorough non-delhiite. Which is completely true. I am so not like those typical women, always dressed up as though they were modelling for a lipstick or ???whatever! I am not the one who had pancakes stuffed on their faces all the time. I don't give an arm or a leg about whether my lipstick is smudged or have I eaten them off. I don't care if I got sun burn while traveling out on work. I don't care if I did my eye brows. I don't care if I hadn't had my weekly dose of manicure! Manicure...did you hear me say??? Jeez! I can't imagine myself in bright pinks or brown shades of nail polishes! Forget Reds!! Daredevils kinds! Aah, writing about these gives me the jitters and I laugh at women who look so artificial.

Oh sorry...guess I diverted from the topic a li'l bit. Yeah..so people who know me, relate to what I am saying. But something drastic happened the weekend. I got my appointment fixed at Ambika Pillai's and got my hair god damn straightened!!! Whow...can you imagine me sitting at the salon for 6 full hours with a few boards stuck to my head, so that I did not move my neck! Man..you should have been there to believe this! I was tired, I was hungry, and I blamed myself and my dear friend Anu, for this! (anu...I hold you responsible for this!)

Anyway, thats done, I walk into work today, and I find the entire office staring at me and saying...whow whow whow...what the hell have u done? Yeah, it looks nice, but what have u done? And how much money did you spend???

Seems like people still can't over this shock (or....lemme call it pleasant surprise). But I have made up my mind to give such scares once in a while. What next? Hmmm...may be I go bald???
