IMPHAL DIARIES: BALDY MAN: JOINING THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY MEN......

This blog is dedicated to all my friends n seniors who are in same league ...or who are going to join the league of extraordinary men

Oh GOD......this mrng...when I looked at mirror n saw that I'm now in League of Extraordinary Men ...a sense of euphoria..as well a feeling that how I will look ...or to say how others will think about me....dawned upon me

n to make it more difficult my partner told me that I need not to go for hair transplant as I'm looking HOT enough...sic...!!????!!!!!!!

Historically in world of men, it's one of the most important topic once you cross 40

 .....Vikings used a lotion of goose poo. The ancient Greek medic Hippocrates believed the best cure for baldness was really pigeon droppings, which he mixed with horseradish, cumin and nettles. 

For as long as men have had access to mirrors, they’ve been fretting about their scalps getting lonely. It was a particular obsession of Julius Caesar, who tried everything to get his hair back; the wreath of laurels he wore was less a nod to Roman tradition than an attempt at covering up his shiny ...skull...

By the time he met Cleopatra, he was almost completely bald. In a last ditch attempt to save his scalp... she lovingly recommended a home remedy of ground-up mice, horse teeth and bear grease.

Unfortunately, it didn’t work. He lost his hair like many great men before and since, including Socrates, Napoleon, Aristotle, Gandhi, Darwin, Churchill, Shakespeare to SELF 

 Eventually Caesar began growing his hair longer at the back and combing these strands forwards across his head, a technique which was optimistically described as “illusion styling”. Now it’s known as the comb-over.

 As you will understand bare heads aren’t a spectacular evolutionary accident after all. Bald men are seen as more intelligent, dominant and high status; their shiny scalps may help them to seduce women or even save lives.  .... hopefully...people say...!!!!!!

 If you think about it, early human males would have been running around completely hairy and with twigs to cover them up....a big shaggy head of hair, a big bushy moustache – all kinds of body hair – they would have been very kind of threatening looks.....

So in evolutionary process when Baldy men entered into system it would have helped in  separating mature, high-status men from hostile adolescents.

The shaven look has been a hit with philosophers, teachers and priests for centuries.  Seers and monks have taken this one step further – not only shaving their heads, but doing so in a way which directly mimics

 the way men go bald....

So to say it's not a life threatening situation or something to hide....friends don't put caps or hats or wigs....let the shiny scalp ...become our strength...n as it is known if someone doesn't except bald smartness it's their losss....         three cheers to baldness
